SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
The Board of Censors reported six eligible applicants and 
recommended their election to membership in the Society. Ac¬ 
cording to motion, the Secretary cast the ballot of the Society 
for the names of S. B. Bennett, J. C. Milnes, of Kansas City, 
W. N. D. Bird, of Arkansas City, James Kelly, H. M. Burgess 
and Harry V. Good, of St. Joseph, Mo., as members. 
The committee on the Anti-vivisection bill was carried 
over. 
The annual report of the Secretary and Treasurer was read 
and ordered placed on file. It consisted largely of data from the 
records of the association from its beginning to present meeting. 
It was shown that there were thirty-one regular and six hono¬ 
rary members. The association had held sixteen meetings with 
an average attendance of ten regular members. Sixty-four pa¬ 
pers had been read, an average of four papers each meeting. 
Tables were compiled showing the attendance of each member, 
the contributions furnished and his financial standing with the 
association, and the conclusions were that as a rule the mem¬ 
bers who supported the society by their attendance were the 
ones who provided the papers, contributed the discussions and 
paid the iDills. Bight dollars and ninety-five cents were re¬ 
ported in the treasury. 
A great number of communications were read from mem¬ 
bers and others who were unable to attend the meeting. 
A telegram from Dr. Verschelden announced his detention 
at the last minute and rendered it impossible for him to attend 
the meeting. 
The election of officers for the ensuing year resulted as follows: 
S. B. Bennett, President; R. C. Moore, First Vice-President; 
J. C. Milnes, Second Vice-President; W. A. Heck, Secretary 
and Treasurer ; J. C. Milnes, S. Stewart, B. F. Kaupp, J. H. 
Cock, B. D. Ryan, Board of Censors. 
Dr. Ryan read a paper on “ Tetanus,” which brought out a 
very great amount of discussion. 
Dr. Moore read a paper on “ Methods of Generating and Ad¬ 
ministering Steam to Horses in Indicated Affections.” 
The lateness of the hour prevented a discussion of this paper, 
and Dr. Stewart moved a vote of thanks to the essayists, which 
was carried. Adjourned. W. A. Heck, Sec^y and Treas.
