Meeting adjourned for supper. 
At 7:30 a bay horse was cast, which was supposed to be a 
one-sided cryptorchid, and Dr. K. J. McKenzie proceeded to 
operate, when he found on each side of the scrotum cicatrices 
from former incisions : as the right testicle was down, and the 
owner left word that the hidden testicle had not as yet been re¬ 
moved the Doctor naturally made his incision on the left side ; 
after separating, however, the fibrous thickening he found what 
he pronounced to be the stump of the spermatic cord. The his¬ 
tory of the case was then cleared up. Some time ago the horse 
had been cast for operation by an unskillful castrater, who re¬ 
moved the left testicle, which at that time was down, and made 
an incision on the right side in the attempt to get the right tes¬ 
ticle, which, however, at that time was located high up in the 
inguinal canal, but had since descended. Such a case as this 
proved to be a very instructive one in cryptorchid castration and 
confirmed the fact that the owner’s word cannot be relied upon 
in these cases. Anterior and posterior tibial neurectomies. Dr. 
M. H. Reynolds. 
A vote of thanks was then tendered Drs. M. H. Reynolds 
and S. D. Brimhall for their courtesy and assistance in making 
this meeting such a successful one, after which the meeting ad¬ 
journed. D. Hay, V. S., Sec'y and Treas.

Dr. R. W. Hickman, of New York, and Dr. S. Stewart, of 
Kansas City, have already come to an understanding as to plans 
and methods for the meat inspection display at the next meet¬ 
ing, and the prediction is' made by the latter gentleman that the 
collection of specimens will contain a much greater variety and 
be much better arranged than was accomplished on the first 
trial and on short notice. He says : “You cannot present this 
matter so strongly to the readers of the Review that they will 
not declare that the display exceeded their expectations when 
they come to examine it. This feature alone should prove
