The customary disposition was made of the minutes of the ' 
previous meeting. The report of the Anti-Vivisection Bill was ! 
accepted and committee discharged. 
Klutt’s request for associate membership was re- j 
fused upon the grounds that he had resigned from the associa¬ 
tion some years since while in arrears for dues ; also that the I 
letter-head upon which the request was written contained the ' 
cut of a horse’s head, which is a violation of the code of ethics • 
of this association. ' 
Circumstances within the past few months have been the ' 
means of removing several of our members from onr territory. 
Dr G. A. Johnson, of Sioux City, Iowa ; Dr. R. H. Harrison, of : 
Milwaukee, Wis., and Dr. Nelson S. Mayo, of Storrs, Conn. Each 
sent 111 his resignation ; the Secretary reported them with : 
clean accounts, and their resignations were accepted, and they 
were placed upon the honorary list. 
The Secretary reported collections improved, but still some 
delinquents. The usual amount of discussion of this subject 
was done, and finally instruction was given the Secretary to 
1 • . 1-1-1 in arrears two years or more that unless 
his account is settled by the next regular meeting final action ' 
will be taken. ^ 
Dr. S. E. Hunter read a paper on “ Army Practice,” which 
was listened to with much interest. He added another chapter 
to the very thorough but much needed airing of the condition 
of the army veterinarian. 
Dr. J.^ C. Milnes responded to the theme “ The Reason Why.” 
He described the outbreak of anthrax in two herds of horses.
