 According to the opinions expressed last night by many of the veterinarians who have been attending the 4Sd an- nual meeting of the American Veterin- ary Medical association, which has been in convention here this week, the convention has been one of the most successful in the history of the organ ization and great credit is given the local committee, which consists of Dr, E. c. Ross of New Haven, chairman; Drs J. II. Kelly and Whitney of New Haven, Bland of Waterbury,, Bates of South Norwalk, Martin of Bridgeport and R. P. Lyman of Hartford, who was on Tuesday elected secretary of the as- sociation.
 Yesterday, the fourth and last day of the convention, was occupied with surgical and medical clinics. Over thir- ty animals were operated upon for various difficulties. This is the largest number ever treated at any one time or pIaoe in the United States. The most modern and humane methods were used. Each animal was put un- der ether and both local and general anaesthetics so that he felt no pain
 The surgeons who took charge of the operations were Drs. L. A. Merrilat of of the Chicago Veterinary college, pr. R. c. Moore of Kansas university, Dr. Simon Hagar, professor of anatomy at he University of Pennsylvania; Dr, z. 1rry of worcester, Mass, Dr. Harry H. CHI of the New York Veterinary college, Dr. Harry Lakes of Springfield, Dr. Andrews, who is a graduate of Cornell university, and Dr. A. H.. Baker of Chicago. The surgeons ad- min1sterlng chloroform and anaesthet- ics were Dr. Martin of Bridgeport, pr. Jewell of Kansas, Dr. Merrilat of Chi cago, Dr. Lakes of Springfield, pr. Knapp and Dr. Burns of Brooklyn, N, Y. Various methods of restraint in handling the animals were shown by Dr. G. R. White of Nashville Tenn, who is very conversant with all the modern methods. The Kansas City op- erating table owned and furnished by Dr. Bland of Waterbury and the H. l., Bradley table were used.
 Among the animals operated upon. was N. w. Kubinger's $19,00O trotter, Nutbreakar, jr. He was operated upon for paralysis of the vocal chords. Per- haps the most delicate operation was that for the removal of a supernumer- ary tooth, which was situated in the subjects head under the ear. A re- markable feat was that performed by Dr. Harry Lukes, who removed a tu- nor weighing four pounds from a dog. The animal was a handsome St, Ber- nard, and is owned in South Norwalk.
 The committee on clinics was the To- cal committee whose names are given dDOV6. kAIllIldlS WSIS SQpPllGu Dy lpISs Judson of Winsted Bland of Water- bury Loveland of Torrington, Ross, Kelly and Whitney of New Haven, Bushnell of Middletown, Lyman of Hartford, Bates of South Norwak and Dr. Martin of Bridgeport.
 The veterinarians will leave for their homes this morning well pleased with the reception accorded them by the City of Films. Almost the entire ex- pense of the convention was paid by the Connecticut association from it's own funds, and the extensive scale on which they provided for their guests and for the clinics yesterday shows how generous and strong their efforts were. The Massachusetts association insisted on aiding Connecticut, how ever, and while they did not give a large sum, their gift was thankfully accepted.
