President James L. Robertson, Secretary Clayton recording, 
and with the following veterinarians present: Drs. Bell, Clay¬

college:

announced ; but owing to unavoidable circumstances only one 
of the subjects was presented—a patient of Dr. Parry’s, with a 
large high bone spavin, upon which the doctor performed tar¬ 
sal tenotomy.

President—Dr. Robert W. Ellis.
