NEW YORK CITY GETS “A.V.M.A.” MEETING OF 1899. 
The Executive Committee of the American Veterinary Medi¬ 
cal Association has decided that the best interests of the members 
and the profession will be subserved by the selection of Gotham 
as the place for holding the annual convention of the last year 
of the nineteenth century. It is peculiarly fitting that the first 
meeting of the new association should be held in the same city 
where, thirty-six years before, its predecessor, the United States 
Veterinary Medical Association, was organized, and sent forth 
upon a career which has been a glorious succession of triumphs 
in moulding the character of a profession which now claims its 
position among the advanced sciences of this age. 
Starting under such favorable auspices, much more will be 
expected of the one which will be called to order in the same 
city next September, and we have not the least doubt but that 
when the record shall be opened in thirty-six years hence the 
splendors of grand achievements will meet the eye upon every 
page. 
Next September should and will be a red letter day in 
veterinary matters in North America, for during the second 
week in that month a number of important veterinary gather¬ 
ings will occur in the same city, bringing together veterina¬ 
rians from all over the country. This is the list: 
(1) American Veterinary Medical Association. 
(2) New York State Veterinary Medical Society.
