And Two Other Chicago Ladies’ Pictures. Win Prize at Exposition. The Chicago Examiner of Sunday last contained the pictures of three Chicago ladies whose photographs won first prize for a Chicago photographer at the exhibition at Knoxville, Tenn., last week. One of the originals was Mrs. Roy M. Shane of Chicago, formerly Miss Virginia Austin, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Austin formerly of Rensselaer. Concerning the awards the Examiner savs:

A Chicago photographer won the first prize at the Appalachian Exposition.'held in Knoxville, Tenn., according to a telegram from Lloyd Branson, chairman of the fine arts section. Three portrait photographs submitted by Melvin H, Sykes of the Sykes studios, Chicago, were so well considered by the judges, who included some of the best known portrait artists, of the country that the unanimous choice for the first place, carrying with it the silver medal, fell on the specimans shown by the Sykes studios. The photographs were of Mrs. Roy M. Shavne, Mi Dorothy Lindsey and Miss Lett ore Ray. Altogether more than five hundred entries competed Tor the medals in the portrait class?, which was a record breaking number, but from the .first there was little doubt but that the Chicagoan would capture the leading place. Galveston secured the bronze medal, marking the second prize, and Boston was given the third prize in the class, which carried with it a diploma. Lloyd Branson, the chairman of the fine arts section, is a well-known artist whose pictures have been exhibited in the Art Institute here on several occasions. Mr. Sykes is receiving the congratulations of Chicago friends upon his fine showing.
