ANNUAL DINNER. 
The Anniversary Dinner of the Royal College of Veterinary 
Surgeons was held at the Freemasons^ Tavern, on the even¬ 
ing of May 3rd, advantage being taken of the presence of 
many provincial members who had come to town to attend 
the Annual Meeting of the Profession. The chair was occu¬ 
pied by the retiring President, W. Field, Esq., jun., who was 
supported by the professors of the London and Edinburgh 
Colleges, and many leading members of the body corporate. 
The meeting, which was of the ordinary character of such 
assemblies, does not call for any especial observation beyond 
the stereotyped one—that it was agreeable, pleasant, and, 
above all, convivial.
