SECOND ANNUAL MEETING 
“ The Stewards !” (by the Chairman), and thanks to them 
for their ample and excellent provisions on this occasion. 
Mr. Henderson replied, that the harmony which prevailed in 
the present meeting, and the pleasure which every one seemed to 
feel, amply repaid him and his associates for the little trouble 
that the exercise of their office had given them. He trusted 
that the future meetings would be more numerous—if possible, 
more happy ; and produce cordiality and good feeling through the 
whole profession. 
Mr. Langworthy proposed “The health of Mr. Goodwin, sen., 
the father of veterinary reform,'” and who, in his retirement from

brethren had not cooled, and no man would more exult in our 
eventual triumph.

profession, “ Mr. Field, sen./’ whose name as a practitioner was 
known, he thought, in the four quarters of the world.

ever reputation his father had obtained as a practitioner was 
justly his due, for he identified himself with the interest of his 
employers, and was indefatigable in the discharge of his profes¬ 
sional duty. If inflexible rectitude and liberal feeling, and, he 
might add, zeal for the respectability of the profession, entitled 
him to consideration, these, he was proud to say, his father 
possessed. 
Mr. Moulden begged leave, although the veterinary periodicals 
had been given, to propose as a distinct toast, “ The Editors of 
the Veterinarian.” They had adopted a line of conduct so mo¬ 
derate and unexceptionable, that they had won the confidence 
of the majority of their brethren. Although they never as¬ 
sumed the tone of dictation, he was persuaded that they spoke,
