to be. Prof. Eggeling examined the horses at the farm, took 
photographs and secured other evidence, and upon his testi¬ 
mony the higher court now sustained the first conviction. 
It is certainly of special interest to us that the German Gov¬ 
ernment, in order to establish the identity of a horse, de¬ 
spatched a veterinarian as special envoy thousands of miles into 
the heart of another country, and entirely relied upon his evi¬ 
dence in a case in which the defendant continually objected to 
the expert-testimony of veterinarians, maintaining that in the 
United States they are not asked in such matters. Kneebsmay 
alter his opinion of veterinarians, and we sacredly believe that 
he has had a fair trial at the hands of the foreign government. 
Veterinarians of Greater New York, why not send 
your names to Dr. R. W. Ellis, Secretary, 531 W. i52d Street^
