SOCIETY MEETINGS.

Fellow members expressed their appreciation of Dr. Runge’s 
efforts in experimental work, and among those who joined in the 
discussion were Drs. Pearson, Hoskins, Kitchin and Rogers. 
Dr. James McDonough, of Montclair, here read a paper en¬ 
titled “ The Horse’s Foot.” Dr. McDonough’s paper was well 
written and upon a subject with which he is especially con¬ 
versant. As the hour was late it was voted that a discussion of 
the paper be deferred until the next meeting'. 
At 5.30 the meeting adjourned. Next meeting to be held at 
Newark in July. George W. Pope, Secretary . 
THE SOCIAL SIDE OF THE MEETING OF THE 
VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION OF 
NEW JERSEY. 
The literary side of the above association meeting, at Tren¬ 
ton, N. J., on Jan. 9, was so replete with good things, which 
were so ably dealt with, by some of the best talent that our 
country boasts (all of which our readers will be furnished with 
elsewhere by Secretary Pope), that we feel that it will not detract

the committees appointed by him. This determination, actua¬ 
ted by this feeling of appreciation, was reached en route from 
Atlantic City to New York at the termination of the National 
Convention, and given expression to in the presence of several 
New York veterinarians, who approved of it. Our determina¬ 
tion, although taken thus early, never wavered, notwithstanding 
the fact that the delegation, at the eleventh hour, had become 
so insignificant that it could be counted on the first finger of one 
hand. And we went, and were not sorry for it either. When 
we boarded the 8.15 a. m. train we discovered that President 
Lowe, whom we had planned to meet in the Pennsylvania 
depot, was already on board, with a goodly number of members 
from Paterson, Passaic, Orange, Newark, Ridgewood, Jersey

that we did not know. After reaching the hotel, we were pre¬ 
sented to a distinguished M. D., Dr. Kitchen, of East Orange, 
who for some years past has been devoting his energies to
