and Means Committee, reported that so far as entertainment was 
concerned, they were prepared to furnish material for each suc¬

as the treasury was not full, they suggested that the association 
change its place of meeting to the lecture room of the New York- 
American Veterinary College, 141 W. 54th Street, having been of¬ 
fered the room free, including heat and light, by the owner of 
the building, the' same being put in the form of a motion, as
