SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
635 
others: Quittor, median neurectomy for ring-bone, sciatic neurec¬ 
tomy for spavin, and two cases of fistulous withers. The success 
of this feature is due largely to the efforts of Dr. Turner in 
securing the cases and to his courtesy in welcoming the members 
to his well-appointed infirmary. This was the first instance of the 
use of the clinic by this association, and the result was very satis¬ 
factory in point of interest and in general helpfulness and 
sociability. 
Lunch was served during the course of the clinic at the in¬ 
firmary of Dr. Turner. Following the close of the meeting the 
members set down to an enjoyable banquet at the Vanderbilt 
Hotel. 
This meeting of the association proved to be the best yet held 
and fully justified the efforts of its officers and members in ar¬ 
ranging to meet thus in consultation and mutual service. With 
the growth in numbers and with the experience of years, even 
greater things are to be expected for the future. 
W. B. Switzer, Secretary. 
Last Word From Secretary Marshall: “I believe we 
are going to have an unusually good meeting.” 
Fourteen veterinarians from New York, including the presi¬ 
dent of the New York State Veterinary Medical Society, were 
present at the recent congress of New Jersey veterinarians, and 
took an active part in the programme enacted. 
President De Vine, of the New York State Veterinary 
Medical Society, received a high tribute from President Smith 
for what he had been able to do for the profession in New Jer¬ 
sey, as the result of an address made by Dr. De Vine before a 
joint meeting of the State Agricultural Society and the Tubercu¬ 
losis Commission at the New Jersey capital last winter. 
Not Crowding Out Horses, Harness Man Says. —-The 
horse is not being replaced by the automobile, said Charles Schell, 
president of the National Harness Manufacturers’ Association, in 
opening the twenty-sixth annual convention of the association at 
the Hotel Victoria. 
There are more horses in this country than ever, and they are 
commanding just as high prices as formerly in the market, ac¬ 
cording, to Mr. Schell. There is just as great a demand for har¬ 
ness, and the manufacturers have sold more harness during the 
last year than ever before.— (New York Tribune.)
