836 SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
day. I see a great future for the Veterinary Medical Association 
of New Jersey as now constituted. May she ever be true to ' 
herself and to the interests of the people of our beloved State. 
Dr. Leonard Pearson, State Veteriniarian of Pennsylvania, 
was introduced and outlined in a concise and comprehensive 
manner the various branches of professional work that came 
within the range of the State Association. 
Dr. W. Horace Hoskins, of Philadelphia, followed with a 
congratulatory speech, and Dr. W. L. Rhoads, of Lansdowne, 
Pa., made some pleasing remarks. 
Dr. T. Earle Budd, of Orange, read a very interesting paper 
on u Maternal Dystokia.” 
Resolutions were passed endorsing the Army Veterinary 
Bill, now before Congress. 
Resolutions were passed on the death of Dr. William H. 
Arrowsmith, of Jersey City, a graduate of the American Veter¬ 
inary College, and former President of the Veterinary Medical 
Association of New Jersey. 
A resolution was passed authorizing the publication of the 
“ Veterinary Medical Register of the State of New Jersey,” and 
giving Dr. Rowe, the compiler, authority to have it published 
as soon as the necessary data are compiled. 
And thus the veterinary surgeons of New Jersey, after many 
years of half-hearted associational work, have laid the founda¬ 
tion of what we hope and believe will be one of the strongest 
veterinary organizations in this country. 
VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION OF NEW 
YORK COUNTY. 
This association held its regular monthly meeting in the 
lecture room of the New York-American Veterinary College, 
on Jan. 3, 1900, Dr. Jas. L. Robertson presiding. After roll-call 
the minutes of the previous meeting not being presented, their 
reading was deferred until the next meeting, and the reading 
of papers was immediately begun. 
' Dr. Grenside read a very interesting and practical paper 
entitled “Action.”* The discussion which followed was actively 
participated in by Drs. Hanson, Bell, Gill, Delaney, Ackerman, 
and others, and led into one equally animated on that exhaust¬ 
less subject, “ Examination for Soundness.” 
Moved by Dr. O’Shea that a vote of thanks be extended the 
essayist. Seconded and carried.
