First Veterinary Congress of America.— The officers 
of the various committees of the United States Veterinary 
Medical Association, we are happy to say, appear to be fully 
alive to the importance of the duty and responsibility de¬ 
volving upon them in superintending the necessary prepara¬ 
tions for the next meeting of the Association, or the First 
Veterinary Congress of America. This was illustrated at 
the meeting held in New York on the 20th of May. Several 
of the gentlemen of the International Committee and of the 
Comitia Minora were present, including Dr. Clement, the 
vice-president, the indefatigable secretary. Dr. Hoskins, and 
Drs. Robertson, L. McLean, Huidekoper, Pearson, R. McLean 
and Liautard, all having come prepared to report upon the 
work already accomplished, as well as to hear suggestions 
bearing on the organization of the work of the congress. 
Reports were made by the Committee on Invitations on 
the proposal to. make foreign veterinarians honorary mem¬ 
bers, and from those on Veterinary Education and on Tuber¬ 
culosis. Some of these, it is true, were only in a crude form 
under the routine of “ reporting progress,” but were, never¬ 
theless, accompanied by remarks from the heads of the vari¬ 
ous committees, which proved that they had been neither 
negligent or indifferent to the matters placed in their charge.
