Fire.
Mr Starck’s Studio Destroyed.
At about 3.30 this morning an alarm was sounded on the fire bell. The scene of the conflagration was Mr Starck’s photographic studio, in Park Street. The building which was only a small one, was hedged between a two storeyed building occupied as a Chinese laundry and the Gospel Hall. Had the building destroyed been two storeys instead of one, nothing could have saved the adjoining structures. In fact it is nothing short of a miracle that they were not razed. Willing helpers did what they could to keep the flames within bounds. Mr Starck had an insurance of on his stock and he assesses his loss at £100 above that amount. The building was owned by Mrs R. E. Gray and was valued at £125 upon which there was no insurance. Mr Starck can give no reason for the outbreak. He was developing plates in the studio last night and when he left, everything appeared to be safe.

Photography.— We notice that Mr G. H. Daley has prolonged his stay in Wanganui for a limited time, previous to a tour of New Zealand for a collection of views. We have been shown a quantity of portraits of the townspeople, taken in a style worthy of the best Melbourne artistes, and indeed those anxious to have their faces and forms perpetuated should lose no time in visiting the studio.

Photography.- We were shewn to-day by Mr G. H. Daley a collection of photographic portraits, tastefully arranged in a rosewood and gilt frame. The first glance at the collection gave us a favorable impression, which was not diminished by a closer inspection. The portraits have been most carefully taken, the features of each subject shewing out with a clearness and distinctness only seen in portraits taken at first class studios. Wanganui people forming the subjects also added to the conception of the merits of Mr Daley's skill, the faces being so familiar any defect, was the more noticeable. Mr Daley having graduated at one of the best studios in Melbourne it is not, after all, surprising that he should, with the aid of clear Wanganui weather turn out such excellent specimens of the photographic art.

Photography.— Mr G. H. Daley advertises that he will visit the Patea and Waihi districts professionally. We should think Mr Daley will receive a fair amount of patronage from the inhabitants of these townships, who have not had the same opportunities of participating in this useful adjunct to civilization, as their more favored Wanganui friends.

Mr Whalley, of the Crown Studio, has just received a charming series of views of the Rotorua district. The series includes some excellent photos of the pink and white terraces, while some enlargements of the same are quite the best we have seen for some time. Other photos deal with Maori life and the springs and geysers in the Hot Lake district. The views would form the most acceptable Christmas present for anyone.

Messrs Whalley and Co., the up-to-date photographers, have purchased the negatives of the late Thos. Attwood [who died 15 April 1904 at Palmerston North], and extra copies can be obtained at the Crown Studios.

Messrs G. H. Bennett and Co. have forwarded us a beautiful series of pictorial postcards dealing with Palmerston North. The views include tree ferns, Victoria Esplanade, railway station, Manawatu Gorge and traffic bridge, Fitzherbert bridge from both sides, Palmerston Hospital, and four fine views of the Square. The photos were taken by Messrs Whalley and Co. and the blocks printed in England, in a remarkably attractive manner. As a means of advertising our town and showing its attractions to residents abroad, these cards will be found excellent.

From Messrs Whalley and Co. comes a souvenir of the Manawatu Gorge. It is the finest thing of its kind ever seen in New Zealand, printed on good paper by the new collatype process. A limited number are to be placed on the local market.

Messrs Whalley and Co., proprieters of the Crown Studios, have forwarded us a handsome souvenir of the Manawatu Gorge in the form of a collection of views of this noted beauty spot. The pictures were executed in England from photographs taken by Messrs Whalley and Co., and each copy is neatly bound. A finer set of views has not been obtainable locally and Messrs Whalley and Co. should experience a keen demand for copies.

The illustrations in this week's Canterbury Times are chiefly devoted to views of the recent floral fete in Palmerston, and of the Hastings Band Contest. The bulk of the pictures are reproduced from photos taken by Messrs Whalley and Co., of the Crown Studio.

Messrs Whalley and Co., of the Crown Studios, Palmerston North, have purchased the well-known and old-established business formerly carried on by Messrs Bell Bros., of Broadway, Marton. Messrs Whalley and Co. have, by the quality of their work and the energy displayed in conducting their business, built up a reputation in this district, and Rangitikei residents are assured that should they favour the Crown Studios with their patronage they will receive every attention. It is the aim of Messrs Whalley and Co. to give satisfaction to patrons, and their experience should be a sufficient guarantee in this connection. It is Messrs Whalley and Co.'s intention to conduct their Marton business under the name of the Crown Studios, and it will be carried on in conjunction with their Palmerston North business.

We have visited Messrs Whalley and Co. when last in Palmerston, and were shown through their extensive premises and found them busy in all the different departments. They have just installed a very fine Century studio camera and large (Ross and Co., of London), anastigmatic portrait lens, to cope with their increasing business, and have also a special large and long bellows camera with a very expensive set of lenses for copying or enlarging photos, and in most cases the copied photo is better than the original.
We were shown some excellent specimens of the work which looked very fine and were real works of art. The large studios are furnished with a fine set of backgrounds, both exterior and interior, and one very fine cathedral background (made especially to their order) for wedding groups, also some very pretty fancy chairs and all other accessories with which to execute all the different kinds of up-to-date photography.
They have a very fine range of new mounts which we were informed are the pick of the English, American and Continental manufacturers, and with such a fine selection to choose from we are sure that they will be able to more than satisfy the most fastidious taste. They are giving their Foxton friends a special inducement to visit the Crown Studios during show week, by presenting every patron for one dozen cabinet photos with a beautiful enlargement free of charge, and we feel confident that our readers cannot do better than avail themselves of this grand opportunity, and we are confident that they will receive civility, attention and every satisfaction from Messrs Whalley and Co., who are always anxious to please all those who patronise them.

"Love from Neville Dawe for 1912"
to Mrs Wilding, Usk St, Oamaru.
Photography is more than photography — it is an Art. To portray the soul of the sitter and not the mere exterior requires skill, and is only possible by an artist. Pictures of this description can be obtained at the “CROWN STUDIOS,” Marton (Whalley and Co.) where the personal touch of the artist is shown throughout, and besides skill the studio is necessarily equipped with the most modern lenses, and the backgrounds, which are just imported, are painted by America’s most famous scenic artists. Our manager, Mr Newton Wells, by his great experience of photography gained in America and abroad is second to none, and his pictures of ladies and children, etc., are delightful for their beauty and technique.

Photographic. - An advertisement in another column announces that Mr Kirkwood, of Wellington, is at present visiting Foxton on a photographic tour, and has his studio at Mr Jonson'a house, on The Avenue. A number of bona fide specimens of Mr Kirkwood's talent at his art are displayed in Mr Jonson's shop window, opposite Whyte's Hotel. These show that Mr Kirkwood is a first-class artist, and residents of the district would do well to take advantage of the present opportunity to have their portraits taken. Mr Kirkwood has all the latest improvements in his plant, and his stay is limited.
