street, Philadelphia; Treasurer, Jno. R. Hart; Board of Trustees—W. Horace

Montgomery, Webster, Ross, Graham, Schrieber, Tintsman, J. S. Butterfield,

The Committee on Legislation, through its Chairman, reported the condition 
of the bill before the State Legislature, and though the bill was not in the best 
shape, it was fully expected to become a law in almost its original shape, as the 
opposition to the bill was very slight. 
Dr. Zuill, Chairman of Committee on Sanitary Science and Police, made an 
extensive and highly commendable report, suggesting a plan for properly covering 
the State, and for thorough inspection of meat and milk. His remarks as to the 
existence of glanders and farcy, the prevalence of tuberculosis and pleuro pneu¬ 
monia were interesting and commended very highly the work of the Bureau of 
Animal Industry in this latter disease. 
The report of Committee on Intelligence and Education was called for, and 
the Chairman, Dr. Hoskins, covered the present condition of the profession, and 
outlined the vast work before the Association and its members in the future in 
this State. 
Under the head of new business, it was decided by a unanimous vote, to 
publish in pamphlet form the reports of Drs. Zuill and Hoskins for distribution. 
The Corresponding Secretary, Dr. W. S. Kooker, referred in suitable terms 
to the very great aid he had received throughout the whole State from veterinar¬ 
ians in furthering the work of securing legislation. 
The meeting then adjourned to lunch, which was prepared by the Keystone 
Veterinary Medical Association, at which all the members found pleasure in 
mingling together, and at the same time satisfying the appetite with viands of a 
very enjoyable character. 
The afternoon session was devoted to reading of papers and discussion of 
the same. 
The first paper was on the subject of over-checking, by Dr. Zeno S. Keil. 
The writer took very strong grounds against this method of reining horses, and 
criticized severely the results of the same, and the pain and suffering inflicted up¬ 
on the animals so used. 
The next essay was on the subject of cremation by Dr. Jas. W. Sallade. The 
reading of this most elaborately prepared article was a source of some amusement 
as to what its practical bearing was upon the veterinary profession, and though a 
very grave sanitary question among men, the writer failed to bring forth the 
value of the adoption of the same among the comparative animals. 
After seating of the new officers and some other routine work, the meeting 
adjourned to meet in Pottsville in September. 
W. Horace Hoskins, Secretary.
