mination in instances where the microscope could settle a 
latter of doubt. For instance, Dr. Bunker’s case of tuber- 
ulosis of the liver in a bull should be settled by finding the 
ubercle bacilli in the specimen before we accept it as such, 
'he members present seemed to think this point well taken. 
Dr. Howard here left the chair, which was taken by ist 
r ice-President Burr. 
Dr. Burr thought it ought to be voted by the Association 
hat it could not accept Dr. Bunker’s case of tuberculosis of 
he liver until it was properly verified. 
Dr. Hitchcock thought it would be sufficient if the Presi- 
ent ordered the Secretary to make a note in the records 
pon the point in dispute. 
The name of Dr. Wm. Stinson, of Chelsea, a graduate of 
le New York College of Veterinary Surgeons, was then bai¬ 
led upon, Dr. Winchester, teller. Sixteen votes were cast 
11 in the affirmative. Dr. Stinson was therefore declared 
t 
lected. 
Applications for membership were received from Wilbert 
oule, M.D.V., and E. P. McKenna, M.D.V. Dr. Osgood, 
'hairman of the Executive Committee, reported favorably 
pon their credentials. The names were laid on the table to 
e voted upon at the next regular meeting, according to the 
rovisions of the Constitution. 
Dr. Howard here took the chair again. He said that as 
lis was the last meeting of our Association before the meet- 
lg of the United States Veterinary Medical Association in 
eptember, we ought to send its Secretary an official notice 
f our plans for entertaining its members. 
Dr. Osgood moved to invite the members of the United 
tates Veterinary Medical Association to be our guests 
Wednesday, the second day of the meeting. 
Dr. Osgood amends his motion to read Wednesday after- 
oon. Considerable discussion followed. Dr. Bryden op- 
osed having a recess the second day, on the ground that the 
itertainment would break in too much on the routine work 
id out for the meeting. 
Dr. Winchester thought that if a recess were taken by 3 
r 4 o’clock Wednesday afternoon, it could do no harm.
