NOTES OF THE U. S. V. M. A. MEETING. 
The American Veterinary Medical Association begins its 
career under very favorable auspices—very different from those 
of the U. S. V. M. A. 
Look at the new members from the Western States and say 
if it was in vain that we journeyed beyond the Missouri River. 
The West turned out en masse to show how much they ap¬ 
preciated the opportunity to attend a meeting of the National 
Association. 
They were there from all over the West—Colorado, Mon¬ 
tana, Washington, Texas, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan, 
Wisconsin, Missouri, Ohio, Illinois, Arizona, Kansas, and from 
Manitoba. 
They were there from the East and the South—New York, 
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Alabama, Louisiana. 
What a record ! 97 per cent, of the graduate veterinarians 
of the State of Nebraska were in attendance upon the meeting. 
Drs. Ramacciotti, Young and Peters were an ideal Com¬ 
mittee of Arrangements, working in perfect harmony, and 
making everybody happy. 
Don P. Ayer, chief of the inspection service at Omaha, was 
untiring in his efforts to make the members enjoy their sojourn. 
Taken all in all, Omaha must stand as the greatest meeting 
the association ever held. 
Those who missed the ceremonies at the Aksarben Club 
will never be able to fill that void. 
Dr. Hoskins undertook to chaperon the Eastern members ; 
but got lost at Columbus, Ohio, and did not reach Omaha until 
eight hours after his charges. He got in the wrong dining car.
