SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
371 
Dr. Hermann Wellner, of New York, “ Rheumatism in Do¬ 
mestic Animals.” 
With these five papers the programme will contain, in addi- 
dition to the sanitary discussion, twenty-nine papers, and it is 
much more than likely that others will be received. This ex¬ 
ceeds by far any former record, and the association will be com¬ 
pelled to enforce the twenty-minute rule, and otherwise expedite 
matters to get through with such a mass of material. 
THE PROGRAMME OF ENTERTAINMENT 
was fully outlined in the July number, and nothing has trans 
pired to change the details there given, either in that for the 
members, or for the ladies. 
Veterinarians coming from a distance will bear in mind that 
the railroads have granted the usual reduction in fare—that is, 
full fare to the convention city, and one-third rates on the return 
fare. 
NOTES. 
Drs. Joseph Plaskett, H. D. Fenimore and W. N. D. Bird, 
of Tennessee, have planned to enjoy the Congress of Veteri¬ 
narians in the great metropolis. 
The following States west of the Alleghenies and south of 
the Potomac will certainly be represented at this year’s meet¬ 
ing: Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, 
Kentucky, Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Ohio, Indi¬ 
ana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, 
Kansas, Colorado and Washington, and it is confidently expected 
that several other States as well as the Dominion of Canada will 
be duly represented. 
Dr. Benjamin Mclnnes, of Charleston, and Dr. Nesom, of 
Clemson College, South Carolina, have expressed their intention 
to participate in what will undoubtedly be the greatest meeting 
the association has ever held. 
Kansas City will be represented at the New York meeting 
by Dr. John S. Buckley, Dr. Robert C. Moore and Dr. S. Stewart. 
Nebraska will show her appreciation of the association’s 
visit to that State last year by sending a large delegation to 
New York. The following members expect to attend the 
meeting : Dr. Don C. Ayer, of South Omaha; Dr. A. T. Peters, 
of Lincoln ; Dr. J. S. Anderson, of Seward ; Dr. V. Schaefer, of 
Tekamah, and Dr. H. L. Ramacciotti, of Omaha. 
Dr. S. K. Spaulding, Health Commissioner of Omaha, ex¬ 
pects to attend the meeting, as he is very much interested in 
the sanitary subjects to come before the association.
