Seconded and carried. 
A good and interesting program was rendered, and all joined 
in a lively discussion of the papers. Many interesting cases 
were reported. The report on the use of black-leg vaccine 
proved that it has been very efficient in the hands of veteri¬ 
narians in the State. At 12 o’clock a motion was made to ad¬ 
journ to meet in St. Louis, October, 1900.

program, and the Secretary hopes that others will promptly 
decide to prepare papers for this meeting and will promptly 
notify him. Offers to demonstrate surgical operations are in 
order, and it is hoped that many will be willing to contribute 
to this most interesting phase of Association work. 
“Your editorial remarks in the January Review, concern¬ 
ing the lack of time for presentation and discussion of papers 
are timely, and I trust the members will use the pages of the 
Review to suggest plans whereby each of the several phases of 
Association activity may have ample opportunity for presenta¬
