Mr. Wilkinson, Professor Spooner, Mr. Coates, Mr. 
Robinson, Mr. T. D. Broad, Mr. Silvester, and Mr. Cowie, 
were declared duly elected. 
It was then decided by lot that Mr. Silvester was to fill 
the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Lawson. 
The proceedings then concluded. 
[The fulness of the preceding report renders it unnecessary 
for any additional remarks of our own on the doings at the 
annual meeting. We have, however, to add that at the 
dinner, which took place in the evening, the profession was 
not so well represented as it ought to have been. Not more 
than forty members could be found to muster around the 
festive board from town and country. Upon the whole, the 
provinces were better represented than the metropolis, which 
is surprising, seeing that something like 150 members of the 
profession are practising in and around London. The chair 
was occupied by the President, who was supported on his 
right and left by the teachers of the English and Scotch 
schools, the Veterinary Surgeon-General to Her Majesty's 
Forces, the Treasurer of the College, some of the members of 
the Court of Examiners, and a few Army veterinary surgeons. 
The vice-chairs were filled by Messrs. Stanley, Birmingham, 
and Silvester, St. Alban’s. 
The greatest conviviality prevailed, and the general charac- 
ter of the speeches showed that at least those who were 
present were fully resolved to maintain the dignity of the 
profession, by sparing no exertion to bring well-educated 
and practical members into its ranks. — Eds.]
