The anatomy and physiology of the horse and domesticated 
animals generally, with the general principles of veterinary 
hygiene, pathology and therapeutics, were superintended by Dr. 
Mercer, lecturer on anatomy; and the practical departments of 
the science were most ably occupied by Mr. Wilkinson, veteri- 
nary surgeon of the 17th Lancers, now stationed at Piershill 
barracks. 
Among the other medical gentlemen present, and who took a 
part in the proceedings, were Sir George Ballingall, Sir William 
Newbigging, Professor Simpson, Professor Lizars, and Messrs. 
Robertson, Handyside, Home of the Queen’s Bays, Maclagan, 
Newbigging, Burt, Bell, Jas. Miller, Esq., W. Carmichael, Esq., 
&c.. Sic. Among the veterinary surgeons were, Mr. Olden, Cork ; 
Mr. Lawson, Manchester; Mr. Dearden, Manchester; Mr. Hors- 
burgh, Dalkeith; Mr. Dunlop, Audrie; Mr. Ferguson, Peebles, 
and many other veterinary surgeons from the surrounding counties. 
The ability and general intelligence of the pupils seemed to 
gratify and delight all present; and in the competition for the 
medal for general proficiency, given by Professor Dick, two 
gentlemen appeared so equal in merit, that, after a re-examina- 
tion, the examinators were unable to decide which should have 
the precedence. Both candidates appearing so deserving, the 
Directors of the Highland Society, who were present, agreed to 
give an additional medal, so that both gentlemen might stand on 
an equality. 
The two successful candidates were Messrs. M'Robie and 
Lord .
