VETERINARY APPOINTMENT. 
DR. WRAY STATE VETERINARIAN OF MARYLAND. 
As we go to press we are informed that Dr. W. Wray has 
just been appointed State Veterinarian to Maryland. 
The record of Dr. W. in connection with the stamping-out of 
pleuro-pneumonia is well deserving notice. During General 
Patrick’ commission several years ago, he won his first laurels in 
Westchester County, in New York State, and in the last few 
months in Kentucky, Maryland and more recently in New York, 
he proved to the Bureau of Animal Industry one of its most ex¬ 
cellent officers. His appointment to Maryland is a well deserved 
promotion, granted to him through the influence of the numerous 
friends he had made by his congenial manners in carrying through 
a too often difficult and unpleasant duty.
