THE ASSOCIATION SEASON. 
While the details of the programmes of the larger association 
meetings of the early fall cannot, of course, be presented in this 
number, sufficient outlines will be found in the department de¬ 
voted to society meetings to make the assertion that the year 
1901 will witness large gatherings of veterinarians at many 
points to participate in most valuable scientific and practical 
deliberations. Especially are we gratified to see most perfect 
arrangements developing in New Jersey, where the National 
Association will meet for the first time in its nearly forty years 
of existence; the headquarters, Assembly hall, and clinic 
amphitheatre have already been secured ; Secretary Stewart an¬ 
nounces a long list of important papers for consideration and 
discussion ; there are many surgical demonstrations already 
listed, and the Committee of Arrangements are working inces¬ 
santly that nothing may be left undone to produce those happy 
results which alone are secured by perfect arrangements. With 
prosperity crowding upon veterinarians all over the country, 
we feel sure that the New Jersey meeting will establish a record 
for interest and attendance. 
In the same department New York’s annual meeting is out¬ 
lined, and the prediction of Chairman of Arrangements Wil¬ 
liams that this year’s meeting will far exceed in all respects 
that of 1900 is an assuring indication that there will be a great 
treat in store for the large number who are sure to attend. 
Pennsylvania will hold her annual meeting the week follow¬ 
ing the National, and, as usual, it will be full to overflowing 
with all that is best in the Keystone State from a veterinary 
point of view. 
It behooves all who can do so to begin now to shape their 
affairs to take in as many of these important events as possible.
