veterinarians of Massachusetts have been very pleasant. He 
would be much pleased to have any of us call at the Com¬ 
pany’s office, 53 State Street, and hopes to enlist our encour¬ 
agement and assistance. 
The Secretary informed the Association that Dr. D. D. 
Lee, in behalf of himself and his colleagues, Drs. Becket and 
Wilbert Soule, offered it the privilege of holding its meetings 
rent free at their new hospital, “ The Boston Veterinary Hos¬ 
pital,” on Albany St. 
After discussing the matter, it was finally moved by Dr. 
Winchester that Dr. Lee’s kind offer be laid on the table, and 
that he be given a vote of thanks. Seconded by Dr. Had- 
cock. Carried. 
The Cattle Commissioners and their annual report, just is¬ 
sued, then came up for discussion. After a long and heated de¬ 
bate, and much adverse criticism of the Cattle Commissioners 
and their doings by nearly every one present except Dr. Bry- 
den, who rather sustained them, Dr. Marshall moved that the 
Chair appoint a committee of three to report to the Gover¬ 
nor in behalf of the Association upon the Massachusetts Cat¬ 
tle Commission. Seconded by Dr. Becket. 
Dr. Osgood moved to amend Dr. Marshall’s motion, by 
having the committee balloted for. Seconded by Dr. Had- 
cock. Dr. Marshall accepted the amendment. Carried. 
Ballot resulted in eight votes for Dr. Bryden, six for Dr. Os¬ 
good, seven for Dr. Howard, four for Dr. Winchester, and 
two each for Drs. Becket, Blackwood, Burr and Peters. Drs. 
Bryden, Osgood and Howard were therefore declared 
elected. 
Dr. Winchester reported that the cow, whose uterus and 
vagina he reported at the last meeting as having amputated, 
had made a complete recovery.
