at the Windsor Hotel, Lincoln, on Tuesday, Jan. 18, 1891. The following vet¬ 
erinarians responded to the call: Drs. Young, Blackwell, Ebbitt and Ramm- 
aciotti, of Omaha, Dickey, of Seward, Noble, of Blair, Taylor, of York, Ham¬ 
mond, of Wayne, Everett, of Hastings, Osborne, of Fremont, Frothingham, 
Lord, Thomas and Cosford, of Lincoln. 
Dr. Noble was elected to fill the offices of Temporary Chairman and Presi¬ 
dent for the ensuing year. Dr. Rammaciotti was made Vice-President; Dr. 
Cosford as Honorary Secretary; Dr. Young, Treasurer; Drs. Ebbitt, Black- 
well and Dickey, Board of Trustees. Dr. Young submitted a copy of the New 
Jersey Veterinarian Association’s by-laws and constitution for the considera¬ 
tion of the meeting, which were adopted with several changes. Dr. Burgess, of 
Beatrice, who has spent one session at college, was admitted on probation, to 
receive full benefits of the Association as soon as graduated. 
A general discussion followed the adoption of constitution and by-laws, 
and the sense of the meeting resulted as being averse to the admission of any but 
graduates of legalized veterinary colleges, and to endeavor to obtain legislation 
in favor of professional veterinarians. The motion of Dr. Dickey that the chair 
appoint a committee of three to draft a bill to present to the Legislature resulted 
in the appointment of Drs. Noble, Osborne and Young. A motion was made 
and seconded that the meeting adjourn to meet at the same time and place on 
Tuesday, Jan. 20, 1891. 
The next regular meeting of the Association will be held at the Merchants 
Hotel, Omaha, on the second Tuesday in March, 1891.
