SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
219 
Permit me to suggest that the matter of programme, its 
arrangement, etc., be well discussed, suggestions made as to 
general outline, and the details then committed to the judg¬ 
ment of a small committee to carry out the recommendations 
as far as practicable. 
We can have all the hall room we wish, and in case the 
major subjects already fixed upon by the Association will re¬ 
quire the full time of the meeting, I suggest that subordinate ? 
or rather branch meetings be held for the consideration of 
other topics, to allow veterinarians to choose between two 
programmes, and attend the one of most interest. Some vet¬ 
erinarians may not care to hear discussions on our major 
subjects. The details of such arrangements I would leave with 
Programme Committee. I have no further papers under con¬ 
sideration. 
Any appointments which need immediate attention please 
refer to Dr. Clement, or in case the appointment should come 
from the Internatipnal Committee, then, of course, to Dr. 
Huidekoper. 
This is all which now occurs to me, and should I have 
anything to add, will address you at New York, care of Dr. 
Liautard, either by telegraph or post. 
Have written Mr. Bonney on several matters which I trust 
will be answered in time to lay the information before the 
meeting. 
Wishing a successful meeting, and regretting my inability 
to be with you in person, I am 
Very truly yours, 
W. L. Williams. 
The Secretary then read a letter from Dr. C. P. Lyman, 
of Boston.
