The pubeishing house of W. R. Jenkins is especially 
energetic in giving the veterinary public new books bearing 
upon the profession. We have reviewed a number in the past 
few months, and have before ns four others awaiting our care¬ 
ful inspection. The new ones, all of which are excellent speci¬ 
mens of mechanical skill, will be reviewed in the May issue. 
They are “ A Hand Book of Horse-Shoeing,” by Jno. A. W. 
Dollar, M. R. C. V. S. ; “ Horse-Shoeing,” by William Hunting, 
F. R. C. V. S.; “ Veterinary Obstetrics,” by Win. H. Dalrymple, 
M. R. C. V. S ; and “ The Diagnosis of Rameness in the Horse,” 
by W. E. A. Wyman, V. S. 
A NUMBER OF Review subscribers have failed to renew 
their subscriptions to Volume XXH, but we feel certain it is a 
matter of simple procrastination in remitting the price and not 
a desire to have their favorite journal discontinued. The work 
we have been doing is one of love for the profession, and cer¬ 
tainly the rank and file have sufficient interest in their calling 
to appreciate it to the extent of renewing their subscriptions. 
We notify all such that we cannot carry their names on our 
books, and if they fail to receive the Review after this issue it 
is no fault of the publishers. 
The annuae banquet of the Alumni Association of the 
American ^ Veterinary College took place at the Hotel Marl¬ 
borough, New York City, on the evening of March 31, when the 
twenty-six new graduates were formally introduced to the pro¬ 
fession. Many representatives of former classes were present, 
loyal toasts were happily responded to, and a very enjoyable re¬ 
union participated in. Brother Hoskins as toastmaster was in 
his best mood. 
Members of the U. S. V. M. A., who expect to read papers 
at the Omaha meeting should notify Secretary Stewart of such 
intention and their subject as early as possible for the good of 
the Association and the facility of the work of arrangements.
