United States Veterinary Medical Association.— 
The great event of this year, and that which interests all 
branches of science, art and industry on this Continent, is the 
World s Fair. The opening is taking place this month, and 
naturally the veterinary profession, young as it is on the Con¬ 
tinent, will endeavor to be represented to its best advantage 
at this great exhibition of American advancement. 
Upon the United States Veterinary Medical Association 
will devolve, by right, the greatest part of the work in this 
undertaking; and it will certainly be gratifying to all veter¬ 
inarians at home to see how well aware the officers of this 
national body are of the importance of the responsibility 
placed in their hands.' 
Among some of the new and important facts connected 
with the next annual meeting is the first notice of the regu¬ 
larly appointed dates for the great occasion, which has just 
been made public. It reads as follows: 
To the members of the U. S. Veterinary Medical Association , and all members of
