CARDIFF PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY. At the weekly meeting of this society, held at the headquarters in Castle Arcade, on Friday night, under the presidency of Mr C. F. Goocb, a first selection was made of slides, illustrative ox scenes and objects in Cardiff and the district in- tended for American photographic societies. From time to time these societies send sets of slides of American scenery to the United Kingdom, and they are circulated among kindred associations in this country for exhibition. Thus an oppor- tunity is afforded of estimating the progress ^eultea^taW, same time, ot learning something of the natural and architectural features of the great continent of the west. For example, on tne 4ta of next month the Cardiff Society will exhibit slides of photographic views taken by members of the California Camera Club, and illustrating the unique and world-famed Yosemite Valley.
