length of time, their name, place of practice, whether or not 
a graduate, if so from what school or college, etc. A com¬ 
mittee composed of Drs. W. H. Gribble, W. R. Howe, and J. 
D. Fair was appointed to wait on the State Board of Veter¬ 
inary Examiners, which hold a session in the State House to¬ 
morrow at io A. M., and ask their aid in securing these amend¬ 
ments. This State Board contains the Secretary of the State 
\ Board of Health and the Secretary of the State Board of 
Agriculture, so their aid would be of great assistance to us. 
It being now after midnight, the meeting adjourned to meet 
again to-morrow morning at 8 A. M. 
SECOND DAY, JANUARY 14TH. 
Meeting called to order by President Fair, at 8 : 15 A. M. 
The chair appointed as a committee to audit the books of 
the Association, Drs. G. W. Butler, S. E. Bretz, and W. Shaw. 
Moved by Dr. Howe, seconded by Dr. Butler, that here¬ 
after the Secretary send no invitation to our meetings to sus¬ 
pended or expelled members. This motion had especial 
reference to a communication received from a member who, 
it was claimed, withdrew to save himself from being expelled. 
This brought out a debate, somewhat personal at times, but 
which showed that the motion would not accomplish that 
which it was desired, as one withdrawn member was on equal 
footing with another, no matter what caused the withdrawal. 
As an amendment, Dr. Wight moved, and Dr. Cliffe seconded, 
that the Secretary continue to send invitations to all veterin¬ 
ary graduates in the State of whom he had the address. 
Amendment carried. 
Drs. Gribble, Howe, and Fair now left the meeting to go 
to the State House to confer with the State Board of Veter¬ 
inary Examiners. 
Moved by Dr. W. Shaw, seconded by Dr. Butler, that we 
now proceed to select a meeting place for our semi-annual 
meeting. 
Dr. G. W. Cliffe, named Columbus, which was ably sup¬ 
ported by Dr. W. J. Torrence, and finally Columbus was se¬ 
lected, the time to be during the mid-summer race meeting.
