seau stated that tramp steamers
were treated very differently from the
mail lines. He was satisfied with the
United States certificate, hut he

that any steamer arriving here which

a new calf should be inoculated each
time.
Agent Reynolds stated that new
virus had been procured from the
Gaelic, and that another incubation
was to have been made yesterday
afternoon.
