we are confronted with the two extremes. I, having been one of 
this committee for several years, am in position to know that the 
miscarriage of its object has been entirely due to the comatose 
condition of the various presidents of the same. 
One of the fundamental objects of our Association is to dis¬ 
seminate scientific knowledge amongst its members, and if the 
offering of this prize aids in that object, why withdraw it ? It 
cannot be owing to the anaemic condition of our exchecquer, as 
those competing do so more for the honor than the money 
value of the prize; although the money value seems to have been 
highly beneficial at a critical moment to others. 
Fortunately, our chairman’s recommendation must be acted 
upon at our next annual meeting before final adoption, when I 
trust it will receive the consideration it deserves.

To the Veterinarians of Ohio : 
Any veterinary surgeon who desires to know if any veteri¬ 
nary practitioner is illegally practicing in any part of this State, 
can receive the information by addressing the Secretary of the 
State Veterinary Association, as he has been furnished with a 
list of all those who have passed the examination prescribed by 
Ohio law. 
The next meeting of the Ohio Veterinary Examining Board 
will beheld in Columbus, April 14th, 1896, and it is hoped that 
all recent graduates and all those entitled to examination will 
avail themselves of the opportunity and obtain their certificate.
