Society, and the Ohio State V. M. Society, that are to meet on the first week of Septem¬ 
ber at Buffalo for their annual conventions. There were a goodly number of veterinarians 
present, and all showed a disposition to use their personal efforts to give the visiting vet¬ 
erinarians a royal good time. The Genesee Hotel was selected as the headquarters, 
special rates were procured, American plan from $2.50 per day upward, European plan 
$1 per day and upward. The following other hotels give the same rates : Iroquois Ho¬ 
tel, New Tifft House, Brozel House, Mansion House, Continental Hotel, Arlington Hotel, 
Stafford House, Hotel Ontario. The committee on transportation reported the different 
passenger agents, who are under control of the Joint Traffic Association, ihe New Eng¬ 
land Passenger Association, The Western Railroad Association, and the Southern States 
Passenger Association, that all the roads under control of these associations would grant 
to veterinarians attending this meeting the usual one and one-third rate for the round trip. 
This will give an opportunity for veterinarians in all parts of the United States and Canada 
to take advantage of the low railroad fare and attend one of the greatest gatherings of 
veterinarians ever brought together at one time in the United States. 
<< The committee of entertainment have nearly completed the arrangement of giv ngan 
excursion to the visiting veterinarians, which will enable them to view the great and only 
Niagara Falls, with its beautifal scenery. The route will be from the Genesee Hotel, by 
electric cars to the foot of Main Street, where a chartered steamer will take them a short 
distance up Lake Erie, and then down Niagara River to the village of Chippewa, on the 
Canadian side, where we will leave the boat, again take the electric cars, following close 
on the banks of the river, in view of the Rapids, Dufterin Park, Niagara falls, on the 
Canadian side, continuing on down by the Gorge, by Clifton, Canada, to Brock s Monu¬ 
ment, passing at the very verge of Whirlpool Rapids, to Queenstown Heights, which lies 
at the outlet of the Niagara River, into Lake Ontario ; there we will leave the cars, and 
take the boat crossing the river to the American side to the little village called Lewiston, 
where we again take the electric cars and pass over one of the most beautifully constructed 
roads in the country, called the Niagara Falls Gorge Electric Road, which is built on the 
very verge of the Niagara River, Whirlpool Rapids, and all other points of interest. 
When we arrive at Niagara Falls on the American side time will be given the visitors to 
view the different points of interest, including the wonderful electric plant, where elec¬ 
tricity is generated for nearly the entire State of New York. After sight-seeing of the 
Falls is over, we will take the electric cars for a short distance above the Falls, where 
our boat will be waiting to bring us back to Buffalo. On board the boat a lunch will be 
served to what we expect will be a very hungry crowd, and we are making preparations 
to satisfy them. A theatre party is also talked of for the members and possibly a drive 
around the town. 
“ Arrangements have also been made with the proprietors of the Genesee House, for 
the usual banquet on the night of the last day of the meeting. The proprietors of the 
Genesee Hotel have tendered the use of the colonial parlors, for the Association meeting, 
and also two or three other reception parlors for the use of the meeting of the Associa¬ 
tion of Veterinary Faculties, Comitia Minora, and other committee meetings. .Should 
the colonial parlor prove too small for the association meeting (and we lmpe it will), the 
Governors and Faculty of the Buffalo University have offered us the use of their lecture 
room. 
“ This is merely an outline of the work of the committee of arrangements as iar as 
they have gone. Another meeting is called for on the 30th inst., and meetings will be
