PHOTOGRAPHIC EXCHANGE CLUB.
 
Sir, In arranging the conditions under which your subscribers could exchange stereoscopic pictures with each other, you made mention of a plan by means of which they might be enabled to exchange prints of larger dimensions. This plan appeared to me very acceptable, and I should be glad if you would publish this letter in order to recall the attention of members of the Stereoscopic Print Exchange Society to the subject, as it might elicit from some of them a desire in accordance with my own. I am extremely well satisfied with the result of my exchanges of stereoscopic prints on the whole, though I have received some prints which were certainly not first-rate; but I do not complain of this, for, if they were not the best prints imaginable, they usually represented objects or scenes which were new to me, and therefore, more or less interesting.

P.S. It must be a condition of my exchanging prints, that a specimen should be sent to the "Photographic News" Office by each photographer desiring to exchange, for a competent opinion as to whether the subject has sufficient merit to be admitted to the right of exchange, as the exchange of large-sized prints is a more important matter than that of stereograms.
