The Orange Agricultural and Pastoral Association held their Annual Show, April 23rd to 25th and were fortunate to have beautiful weather and a record attendance each day. At this show they presented a National Salon organized by the Orange City Camera Club.

There were 41 entrants who sent in 187 prints out of which 134 were selected for exhibition.

Mr. Simpson expressed his surprise at such a fine collection of prints presented at this, the first National Salon held in the Central West of N.S.W., and was gratified that it was so well supported and of such a high standard.
The interest and comments of the public viewing the Salon were most encouraging to the organizers, and this suggests that next year the National Salon will be looked forward to with anticipation.
This is the fourth annual exhibition organized by the Orange City Camera Club, but it is the first National Salon and at the next year’s annual show to be held by the Orange Agricultural and Pastoral Association, a second National Salon will be presented. The Association’s President, Mr. B.E. Black, congratulates the award winners, and expresses his sincere thanks to all who contributed to make this the first National Salon a success.
