SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
Ellis, Grenside, Goubeaud, Hanson, Eellman, Parry, Robertson, 
and Sherwood. As visitors, veterinary students Wertheimer 
and Bose and Counsellor Frank E. Stevens. 
Dr. Clayton gave a report on an exaggerated case of lamini- 
tis, its treatment and termination ; exhibiting the feet and 
lower section of legs as dried specimens. Dr. Clayton’s report 
on the case was very interesting, as were the specimens, which 
showed the pedal bones to have assumed a perpendicular in¬ 
stead of horizontal relation to the sole. In one of the feet it 
had gone beyond the perpendicular even. 
During the discussion of this case, Dr. W. C. Bretherton’s 
son, Dr. George Bretherton, brought in his father’s dues, and 
his regards and best wishes for the association’s future, the good : 
Doctor being too sick to attend, having been, in fact, a very sick 
man for some time past. 
After the discussion on Dr. Clayton’s case had been finished, 
Treasurer Hanson was called upon by the President for a re¬ 
port. Dr. Hanson reported having received from the Secre¬ 
tary during the year, $77, and having expended during the 
year $71.84, leaving a balance in the treasury of $5.16. Moved 
by Dr. Grenside that the Treasurer’s report be accepted. Sec¬ 
onded and carried. 
There being no committees present to report, the election of 
officers for 1901 was the next order of business. 
Moved by Dr. Clayton that the By-Laws be suspended, and 
that one vote be cast for the reelection of the present officers 
collectively. The Secretary raised as an objection to the mo¬ 
tion, that he desired to be released from office, and take his 
place in the ranks, where he felt he could be of use to the as¬ 
sociation ; and favored the infusion of new blood in his office, 
and requested that the several officers be elected individually, 
as was customary. Dr. Clayton withdrew his motion and nom¬ 
inated for President Dr. Jas. L- Robertson. Dr. Robertson 
said, he, too, like the Secretary, would like to take his place in 
the ranks, having served two full terms, since finishing his pre¬ 
decessor’s term, but was ruled down, and was unanimously elec¬ 
ted President for 1901. 
Dr. Ellis then nominated for Vice-President Dr. Harry D. 
Hanson. Nominations for this office were closed and Dr. 
Hanson was unanimously elected Vice-President for 1901. 
Several nominations were made for Secretary, including 
the present incumbent, all of whom declined. Dr. Hanson 
then nominated Dr. Keller (absent), and he was elected subject
