Mutch claims in this notice that he was "formerly connected" with the photographers Morris and Co., Dunedin and Charles Henry Manning, Christchurch. There were no Dunedin photographers named "Morris & Co." and this may refer to John Richard Morris. This notice continued in the Lake Wakatip Mail until 23 September 1892.
Mr Mutch, photographer, has arrived in Queenstown, and is now prepared to do business. Studio, opposite Bank of New Zealand.

A number of gentlemen met at Mr Mutch's photo studio on Monday evening with a view of forming a draughts and chess club. It was unanimously agreed that such a club was desirable and a committee was appointed to arrange preliminaries. Mr T. Bell kindly offered his large room for the club to meet in, which was accepted with thanks. It was decided to fix the subscription at 2s 6d. Mr Walker was elected president, Mr J. Gardiner, vice president, and Mr J. Mchaffey secretary and treasurer. The list showed that there were 16 members and the secretary informed the meeting that several others intended joining. The opening night of the club was held in Mr Bell's auction room last evening when there were about a dozen members present. A number of games were played and a very pleasant evening spent.

Mr R. Rodger, of the Mora Photographic Studio, Main Street, has just entered into possession of his new suite of apartments comprising portion of the upstairs of Messrs McGruer and Co.'s handsome block of buildings at the corner of Main and Mersey streets. The principal feature of Mr Rogers'(sic) premises is a splendidly appointed studio 24ft by 15ft. The lighting properties of the apartment are perfect, being secured by means of a large window and skylight occupying the greater portion of the southern wall. Leading into the studio is a roomy dressing apartment 15ft by 9ft. The reception room and "dark" room are both admirably suited to their purpose and a couple of work rooms at the rear make up a most excellently appointed establishment. Entrance to Mr Rodger's premises is gained by a stairway (at the front of which is a handsome vestibule for the display of frames of specimens of the photographic art), in Main street. More than a passing word of praise is due to the contractor (Mr O. Kelly) for the excellent finish visible in all the work that has come within his jurisdiction in the building and its appointments.
An enlarged photograph of great historical interest to Gore residents, is now on view in the vestibule of Mr R. Rodger's Mora studio. This is a picture of the ceremony of laying the foundation stone of the Gore Town Hall some 20 years ago. This was performed by Bro. H. Feldwick (Invercargill) with full Masonic honors, and among the brethren to be seen in the photo are many figures well-known locally. Some of these have since gone the way of all flesh, but most are still in the land of the living, and as in the old days, so now, are prominent citizens. In the foreground of the photo are to be seen a number of children — children of that time, who are, in many instances, the men and women of Gore to-day. The original of this interesting picture was taken by Mr Carl Hagen, of Gore.

Mr Parker has sold his photographic business to Mr J. F. Macedo, of Dunedin. Mr Macedo intends having a vestibule made for the display of pictures, and has brought all the latest photographic appliances, and that the work turned out at the Imperial Rooms is not likely to deteriorate. Of the improvements to the premises we shall be able to speak later on, when they have been completed.
Mataura Ensign, Volume 15, Issue 1164, 4 March 1892, Page 6
Mr J. F. Macedo, who recently took over Mr Parker's photographic business in Gore, has converted the Imperial Portrait Rooms into the Elite Gallery, and improved the premises out of all recognition. Gore can now boast of a properly-conducted photographic studio, and the pictures turned out will compare favorably with those of any establishment in the colony. An attractive sign has been placed over the door, and on the invitation to "walk up and inspect" being taken advantage of, show cases containing excellent portraits of many well-known residents are to be found, besides several specimens of enlargements. These latter are a specialty of Mr Macedo's and are taken in any style. There is a nicely arranged dressing room, and the studio itself is now completely appointed, while those are the usual mysteries of "dark" and "finishing" rooms, etc. The premises were decorated by Mr Allen, and the work reflects all sorts of credit on him, Mr Macedo's enterprise will no doubt meet with its reward, as it certainly deserves to. Those who desire to "secure the shadow ere the substance fades" should make an appointment with the proprietor of the Elite Gallery, and they are not likely to be disappointed.

Meetings of Creditors.
__ ESTATE OF J. F. MACEDO, PHOTOGRAPHER, GORE. A meeting of creditors herein was held yesterday afternoon, the Deputy Official Assignee presiding. There was not a quorum of creditors, but the Chairman intimated that be would read the statement, hear the debtor, and afterwards allow creditors to put questions. Following were the unsecured creditors :—
The assets comprised stock in trade, L20; book debts, L10; furniture, L1 10s — Total L31 10s, thus showing a deficiency of L88 18s 5d. The debtor under examination said he had first of all been in Dunedin for a short period; afterwards he came to Gore, with no capital but with a desire to make a good turn over. His expectations had not been realised. He had been here about 2 1/2 years. He paid his way for the first two years, but had nothing to put by. He had had bad luck with his agents during the last six month: they had taken orders at underprice — not sufficient to pay for material. He had been forced to file through a sale being advertised, illegally he believed. There were no assets other than those mentioned in the statement. If allowed to carry on he could have pulled affairs together. The debts he owed were mostly only about three months due. He paid 12s a week as rental for the shop. His annual turnover was Ll20 or less. To questioners, the debtor explained various transactions, and there were some passages-at-arms between him and unproved creditors. The only ray of wit was Mr W. P. Craig's objection to interruptions of Mr Neave; he would not be deprived of his say because Mr Neave might think himself a Samson with the jaw of an ass, trying to smite as he thought a Philistine.

The opening of a second photo studio in Gore is announced. Mr Muir, of Invercargill, has taken the premises lately occupied by Mr Macedo, and secured as his manager thereof Mr R. Rodgers, formerly with Burton Bros., Dunedin. The window display to be shortly made will speak as to the artist's ability - and the public will then be invited to give their verdict.

CLAYTON, Charles
Charles Clayton
born circa 1865, third son of Henry Clayton, chemist, died 27 September 1943 aged 78 years, buried Eastern Cemetery, Invercargill block 32 plot 252, married 11 May 1886 at the Pitt Street Wesleyan Church, Auckland, reg. 1886/1060, Susannah Marks second daughter of Captain Hannibal Marks, she died 31 January 1947 aged 80 years.Captain Hannibal Marks and his son, also named Hannibal, were drowned during a sailing race in Tauranga in 1879.
Auckland
An
accident happened to a boy named Charles Clayton, the son of Mr. Henry
Clayton, chemist, yesterday afternoon. The boy, who is a little over ten
years of age, was standing in Queen-street, watching the demolition of
the old wooden buildings near West Queen-street, when a spring-cart was
driven sharply towards the buildings. The driver shouted to the boy,
but, before he could get out of the way, he was struck in the mouth by
the shaft. This knocked him down, and the cart-wheel passed over his
ribs and stomach. He was picked up in an unconscious state, and taken
into Mr. Hamilton's, chemist's shop. Here he received every attention
and kindness, and was shortly afterwards taken home. He received a very
severe blow in the mouth which cut his lips and broke one of his teeth,
but this is believed to be the whole extent of the injury. There is good
reason to believe that he has not received any internal injury, and it
was not considered necessary to call in medical aid. Drivers of vehicles
cannot be too careful in plying their vocation. They should remember
that they are not to drive recklessly, allowing people to escape as best
they can, but they must use every effort to prevent accidents.

Amongst the items not previously noticed are some fine enlarged photographs of the Rev. Mr Bull, Rev. C. H. Spurgeon, and other local celebrities; also two sets of well executed views. They are the work of an Auckland trained young man, Mr Charles Clayton, who for the last six years has been engaged at various leading photographic studios in the city. The enlarged pictures are on gelatine, and are guaranteed to last as long as oil paintings, at the same time possessing the merits of cheapness and fidelity to the subjects.
Photography is an art which has been brought pretty well to perfection of late years. Locally there are numerous exponents. The latest to pitch his tent amongst us is Mr Clayton, and he has chosen for a site the vacant section opposite to Mr Beattie's store. As those who have studied the art know, no better light than, that obtained through canvas can possibly be secured, and Mr Clayton challenges comparisons of his skill by exhibiting work which he has executed.

Photography is an art which has been brought pretty well to perfection of late years. Locally there are numerous exponents. The latest to pitch his tent amongst us is Mr Clayton, and he has chosen for a site the vacant section opposite to Mr Beattie's store. As those who have studied the art know, no better light than, that obtained through canvas can possibly be secured, and Mr Clayton challenges comparisons of his skill by exhibiting work which he has executed.
The artistic photographic work of Mr C. Clayton, as exhibited in a shop window in Main street opposite the Bank of New Zealand, has been attracting considerable attention. We were yesterday shown by Mr Clayton two group of Band of Hope children, one of about 50 boys and the other of some 70 girls, taken on the lawn at the rear of Mr Beattie's late residence. The children are well grouped and the work all through is first class. Mr Clayton has also had a number of pictures of well known local and district residents on view, and these are all excellent specimens of the art. Mr Clayton intends erecting a gallery and making Gore his head-quarters from which to work the district.

We have been shown by Mr Clayton, photographer, the picture of the members of the Gore Wesleyan Choir, which were taken for the purpose of presenting to Mrs Abernethy. The individual portraits are good, and the grouping has been done with the view of bringing the different part-singers together— a very good idea.There are photos of the manse and church at the top corners, and a very good panoramic view of Gore at the bottom. The picture is to be appropriately lettered, and when complete will make a very nice present.

"Local Art" is the heading of a business announcement by Mr C. Clayton, which sets forth what the advertiser is prepared to do in the way of photographic enlargements.
Some specimens are to be seen in the window in Main street, and are attracting much attention. The most striking is a life-like and life-size (to measurement) picture of Mr Joseph Baker, which is as perfect a specimen of the art as could be wished for. A group of mill hands (Mr G. Stevenson's of Riversdale) is also remarkably good, as in fact are all the others, which consist of individual portraits and family groups. These are all finished in the gelitine process and are permanent pictures.
There is also a little gem - a matt-opal picture of the Mataura Fall before the water was diverted for the Paper Mill and Freezing Works races: it is quite the best of the many pictures of the falls we have seen. Mr Clayton has had considerable experience in the enlarging branch of photography, and it is gratifying to find that pictures equalling anything that can be procured outside on be completed in Gore, and as the prices are exceedingly moderate no doubt anyone wishing to "secure the substance ere the shadow fades" will patronise local industry.

Mr R. McNab's photo, in life size, is now on view in Mr Clayton's window, and is evidence that Gore can turn out capital work in that line.
Mr Clayton's Studio
The photographic studio in Main street, Gore, which was occupied for many years by Mr Carl Hagen, and has now passed into the hands of Mr C. Clayton, has undergone very extensive alterations and been completely refurnished and re-decorated, making it attractive, comfortable and thoroughly up-to-date in fact, in every way a credit to the enterprising proprietor. Mr Clayton has had an extensive connection with the art, and consequently knew "what was what" when obtaining his outfit; and as a result he is enabled to do all classes of work in a highly creditable manner. He has now everything at hand to ensure efficiency, and we are pleased he is satisfied with his trade and prospects.
All classes of work are on view from the modest midget to the lordly life-size enlargement and the likenesses are equally good in every grade. The work is completed on the premises, and a representative of the ENSIGN was yesterday shown the enlarging process, of which, Mr Clayton makes a specialty and which department of his art he has had great experience.
By advertisement elsewhere it will be noticed that Mr Clayton offers to give as a Christmas present to mothers who will bring their babies (from 12 to 18 months old) to be photographed, an opal photo, free gratis and for nothing, and this without the necessity to take any other photos to secure the gift. Business on these should be decidedly brisk for the next two weeks.
