EDITORIAL. 
The Review is in receipt of the following letter from Secre¬ 
tary Martin, of the local committee, and as it concerns a very 
important part of the local arrangements we trust all will re¬ 
spond to it. 
“ Buffalo, July 10, 1896. 
‘ ‘ Editors American Veterinary Review : 
“ Dear Sirs The local committee of Buffalo, of which Dr. Edward McLeod is 
chairman and myself secretary, are arranging for the entertainment of the veterinarians 
who shall attend the U. S. V. M. A. meeting, to be held here on the 1st, 2d, and 3d 
of September. This committee desire to know the number who will attend. We will 
consider it a favor if you will insert a notice of the meeting in your journal, and request 
that those who expect to be here at that time notify the secretary. Very respectfully, 
“H. D. Martin, Secretary .” 
We have been unable to get the details of the meeting of the 
Ohio State Veterinary Medical Society, and we rather fear that 
the arrangements are not very complete. That does not mean, 
however, that a very large body of Buckeye veterinarians will 
not move upon Buffalo at the appointed time, as there will be 
plenty to interest them outside of their own meeting. Secretary 
Gribble writes us that the general tenor among their members 
is that they want to be listeners. We urge upon the members 
of that society the importance of the occasion, and strongly ad¬ 
vise them to have the details of their own meeting as complete 
as possible, irrespective of the other societies. 
The Association of Veterinary Faculties of North America, 
of which that scholarly veterinarian, Prof. Olof Schwarzkoppf, 
is secretary, will hold their annual meeting during this week, 
and will be addressed by the representatives from most of the 
colleges of the country upon subjects of vital importance to 
them, while they will be justified in indulging in felicities over 
the wonderful work for the better that has been wrought 
largely through their instrumentality in the colleges of the 
country both in the period of attendance and in the character of 
the knowledge imparted. 
With such an array of interesting events awaiting the mem¬ 
bership of these associations, is it any wonder that the Review 
has predicted the largest gathering of veterinarians ever as¬ 
sembled at one point in the history of the world ?
