SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
The resolutions adopted were very vigorous as against the 
conduct of animal diseases by the State. 
Where was William Henry Kelly, of Albany, who is usually 
on hand at all State meetings ? > 
Dr. McIvCan, of Brooklyn, took some of the members to task 
without gloves. 
We predict that the late meeting was so well conducted and 
so full of interest that fewer members will be absent next year 
Ithaca was out in full force—Profs. Law, Williams, Moore* 
Hopkins, Gage, and Kish by proxy. ^ 
Mutterings were heard of another attempt to be made on the 
^ate veterinary law this winter, and it was agreed to drop on 
the various representatives at Albany immediately upon receipt 
of news of such an undertaking. 
Nelson P. Hinkley was on hand with a deep interest in the 
proceedings, after an absence of two years. After being out of 
active practice for five years he is about to resume it at the old 
stand in Ellicott Street, Buffalo. 
Dr. Berns entertained Secretary Morris at his beautiful home 
in Bay Ridge on the first evening and Prof. Law the second. 
Surgical clinics having beep so successfully inaugurated at 
Omaha, why not have them at Ithaca next year. The facilities 
of the State College could be utilized, and they could be made 
the best ever held in this country. We have plenty of expert 
operators throughout the State, and we throw out the sugges¬ 
tion to the local committee of arrangements when they are ap¬ 
pointed ; and the sooner the better.
