ROYAL COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SURGEONS. 
lately made arrangements to send a class of students, under a professor, 
twice or three times a week to the Metropolitan Cattle Market, and also 
to the foreign market at Deptford. 
The Council also think that the extension of time to two years after 
taking the diploma will act favorably in inducing young veterinary 
surgeons to study cattle practice after obtaining their diploma. 
I am, dear Sir, 
Yours faithfully, 
(Signed) Wm. Hy. Coates, 
Secretary.

With reference to the above Fund and the application for Government 
aid, it has been ascertained that there are no public buildings available. 
It therefore only remains to apply for a Government grant, and that the 
Committee should again wait upon His Grace the Duke of Richmond 
with this object.
