268 LANCASHIRE VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION. 
meeting was one of the best we have had for a long time, and I 
trust, gentlemen, that you will make some little sacrifices, and 
endeavour to be both punctual and regular in your attendance at 
the quarterly meetings ; for, depend upon it, there is nothing so 
calculated to elevate and enlighten our views of veterinary science as 
the free interchange of thought which takes place during the dis- 
cussion of the various papers that come before us. I believe there 
is a great future in store for the veterinary profession ; but we must 
be true to ourselves and put away all petty jealousy, and cultivate 
those finer and nobler feelings which will enable us to judge favor- 
ably of and deal kindly towards each other. 
In accordance with a resolution passed at the last meeting, sub- 
jects for discussion will be introduced alphabetically — that is, 
according as the members’ names stand on the list, so that there 
will be no lack of papers in future; and as during my term of 
office I intend to commence business exactly at the hour, I again 
entreat members to be both regular and punctual in their 
attendance. 
Mr. Greaves proposed a vote of thanks to the President for his 
very able address ; seconded by Mr. Peele, and carried una- 
nimously. 
It was proposed by Mr. Meikle , that the President’s address be 
sent for insertion in the Veterinarian ; seconded by Mr. Brydon . — 
Carried. 
The members and a few friends afterwards sat down to a sumptuous 
repast. The usual loyal toasts were drunk with enthusiasm, and 
then followed several toasts of a professional character, which were 
fully descanted upon by the various gentlemen who spoke in con- 
nection with the various subjects. The evening was spent in a most 
agreeable manner, with friendly and professional intercourse. 
The next meeting of the Society will be held in April, when 
Mr. Brydon, of Leaham, will read a paper.
