Foreword
BSAVA Manuals provide a wealth of practical and detailed
knowledge on a wide variety of companion animal subjects,
including medicine, surgery, behaviour and practice
management. They are invaluable when you need to read up on a
particular procedure, disease or technique in detail. However,
there are times when you just need a few facts and figures, or a
quick reminder of a procedure that you do infrequently or in a
less familiar species.
Einstein famously said “Never memorize something that you can
look up” and the BSAVA Pocketbook for Vets is a great aid
memoire for algorithms, tests, dosages and biological data
essential in day to day first opinion practice. It is a perfect size to
carry around in your scrub top pocket or occupy a prominent
position on your consulting room desk.
This new and updated edition is an ideal companion to the BSAVA
Small Animal Formulary, the BSAVA Guides to Procedures in Small
Animal Practice, Radiographic Positioning and Canine and Feline
Common Poisons and the BSAVA Pocketbook for Veterinary
Nurses – all of which are designed to be extremely practical and
used on a daily basis. This is a ‘must have’ for new graduates and
old fogeys alike, and the editor should be congratulated on
producing such a useful and comprehensive book.

Preface
This is the second edition of the BSAVA Pocketbook for Vets and
builds on the success of the first edition. Feedback was received
that more quick reference emergency information would be
useful in the book and as such more of this type of information
has been included, where available. There has been a significant
advance in both the science of veterinary medicine and the
materials available from BSAVA in the 6 years between editions.
Hopefully this book catches the essence of these advances and
presents them to the reader in a user-friendly way.
Once again, I would like to thank the publications department
of BSAVA for their help in producing this book and the authors
whose work I have referenced.
Hopefully the format remains practical and accessible enough
that it allows quick access to essential information. I have made
good use of the notes section in my own copy, which has
informed this edition and I would encourage others to adapt
their own versions to suit their particular area of practice.
All feedback is welcome at [email protected].

A few notes on using this book

■■ Under the drug listings, only doses are mentioned; the
more detailed information on contraindications,
interactions, etc., can be found in the BSAVA Small Animal
Formulary. This is to enable the information to be found
quickly and to keep the bulk of the book down.
■■ Selected drugs are listed by generic name. (An index of
trade names is provided at the back of the book.)
-- The rINN generic name is used.
-- The list of trade names is not necessarily comprehensive,
and the mention or exclusion of any particular
commercial product is not a recommendation or
otherwise as to its value. Any omission of a product that
is authorized for a particular small animal indication is
purely accidental.
-- Products that are not authorized for veterinary use by
the Veterinary Medicines Directorate are marked with an
asterisk. Note that an indication that a product is
authorized does not necessarily mean that it is
authorized for all species and indications listed in the
monograph; users should check individual datasheets.
■■ Drug doses are based on those recommended by the
manufacturers in their datasheets and package inserts,
or are based on those given in published articles or
textbooks, or are based on clinical experience. These
recommendations should be used only as guidelines and
should not be considered appropriate for every case.
Clinical judgement must take precedence. Where possible,
doses have been given for individual species; however,
sometimes generalizations are used. ‘Small mammals’
includes ferrets, lagomorphs and rodents. ‘Birds’ includes
psittacines, raptors, pigeons and others. ‘Reptiles’ includes
chelonians, lizards and snakes. Except where indicated, all
doses given for ectothermic animals (reptiles) assume that
the animal is kept within its Preferred Optimum
Temperature Zone (POTZ). Animals that are maintained at
different temperatures may have different rates of
metabolism and therefore the dose (and especially the
frequency) that is required may require alteration.

Prelims Pocketbook for Vets, 2nd edn.indd 11 18/01/2019 09:49

 xii BSAVA Pocketbook for Vets

■■ A veterinary surgeon should always refer to other source

material if they are not familiar with the drugs mentioned in
this guide.
■■ The tables of tablet sizes for various weights of animal are
taken from the datasheets of certain authorized brands of
the drug and are identified as such. Where several brands
of the same drug use different sized tablets and have each
produced a different table, only one has been included. If
this is not the brand used in your clinic, I would encourage
you to use the blank pages to personalize your guide.
■■ Likewise, an algorithm for suggested course of
investigation of a certain disease should not be considered
in isolation but should be used in context with the relevant
Manual or other source material.
■■ All sources used in this guide are referenced by a
superscript number which refers to a bibliography at the
back of the book.

Abdomen – abdominocentesis 20

Positioning and preparation

■■ Sedation may or may not be required.
■■ The dog should be restrained in right lateral
recumbency and it might be worth emptying the
patient’s bladder before the procedure.
■■ The abdomen should be clipped and prepared as for a
non-surgical procedure.
Equipment
A 5 ml syringe, collection tubes (EDTA, plain and sterile) and
some microscope slides should be prepared.
Use an 18–22 G, 2.5–3.75 cm needle or over-the-needle
catheter.
Technique
Abdominocentesis can be performed by a single centesis or
using a four-quadrant approach.
1. The site for single abdominocentesis is a point 1 cm
lateral and to the right of the ventral midline and 1–2
cm caudal to the umbilicus.
2. Once the needle has been inserted through the skin
and abdominal wall, allow fluid to drip from the needle
(or catheter with needle removed) into a tube, or gently
aspirate with a 2–5 ml syringe. Unless there is a large
volume of free
fluid it is
preferable to
allow it to drip
from the needle
hub, rather than
aspirating, to
avoid sucking
omentum or
viscera into the
needle.

A_Section.indd 1 18/01/2019 09:50

 A 2 BSAVA Pocketbook for Vets

3. If fluid is not
obtained from
the first site,
repeat the
procedure in
the three
remaining sites.

4. Collect fluid into an EDTA tube for cytology and cell

count, and into a plain tube for culture and biochemical
analysis.
5. Make several air-dried smears.

post-graduate course of study for three years. In 1884 the degree of
M. A. was conferred upon him by Columbia College; in 1885 the
degree of L.H.D.; and in 1886 the degree of Ph. D. In 1887 he was
appointed instructor in
 WESTCHESTER COUNTY. 951 the Anglo-Saxon and the
Iranian languages at Columbia, at the same time that he was
prosecuting a course of special study in the University of Halle,
Germany. In 1889 Professor Jackson married Dora Elizabeth Ritter, of
Yonkers, a daughter of the late John Peter Ritter, who for twenty-five
years was assistant manager of the New York Clearing House. From
1 891 until 1895 Professor Jackson filled the chair of adjunct
professor of the English language and literature at Columbia, and in
the latter year was appointed professor of the Indo-lranian
languages at the same university. His reputation as an oriental
scholar was by this time firmly established, both in this country and
abroad. He was elected a member of the American Oriental Society,
of the American Philological Society, of the Deutsche
Morgenlandische Gesellschaft, and other learned bodies, while his
services as a lecturer were in constant demand. As an author
Professor Jackson has gained a distinguished position in American
literature, and especially among learned men. Besides contributing
many articles ,to the journals and periodicals at home and abroad,
he has written several books of permanent value. In 1888 he
published "A Hymn of Zoroaster, Vasna XXXI; " in 1892, "An Avesta
Grammar, in Comparison with Sanskrit; " in 1893, " An Avesta
Reader; " and in 1898, "Zoroaster, the Prophet of Ancient Iran." The
last named work is regarded by orientalists as a classic, and
promises to hand down its author's name to posterity. Unlike most
men of learning, Professor Jackson takes an active interest in the
social and political affairs in the community in which he resides. In
recognition of his public spirit he was appointed a trustee of the
board of education of Yonkers in 1898, — a position which he has
since filled with fidelity and efficiency. Lily Hearns Jackson, the
youngest child of David Sherwood Jackson and Elizabeth ne'e
Williams, married George Edward Stevens, formerly of New Haven,
but now a resident of Yonkers. Mr. Stevens is largely interested in
the New Haven Clock Company, and is at present one of its officers.
The children of this marriage are two sons, — George Edward, Jr.,
and John. DENNIS O'NEILL. Mr. O'Neill, who is one of the
enterprising and public-spirited citizens of Bronxville, was born in
West-Made, Ireland, in 1844, a son of John and Julia (Loran) O'Neill,
natives also of " Erin's green isle." His father died in that country,
October 18, 1846, but his mother, born in 1807, is still living and is in
the full possession of all her faculties. Mr. O'Neill, the subject proper
of this sketch, was educated in his native country, in the common
schools, until he was fifteen years of age, when he
 952 WESTCHESTER COUNTY. commenced to learn the
carpenter's trade, which he completed and followed until he came to
America, in 1866. His first two years in this country he spent in New
York city, at his trade. In August, 1868, he moved to Bronxville and
entered the employ of Frederick Opendyke, a superintending
carpenter, and remained in his service for thirteen years. Then he
began contracting and building on his own account, in Bronxville,
South Woodland, Port Chester and other towns in the vicinity,
completing buildings from cellar to roof. As an evidence of his public
spirit we may refer to the fact that he has been one of the principal
advocates of good roads, so changing much of the adverse
sentiment of the community that he rejoices to-day in witnessing the
great results in the improvements of the highways, which are now
among the best in the state. In his political views he is a stanch
Democrat, doing much efificient work for the advancement of his
party. He has held many local offices, and is now justice of the
peace, having been three times elected. He has long since
established a good reputation for a judicial character, and is in every
way highly esteemed by the community. In matrimony he was united
with Miss Ellen Brown, daughter of John Brown, by whom he has
one daughter living, named Margaret E. The family are members of
the Church of the Immaculate Conception, Roman Catholic, at
Tuckahoe, in which beautiful village they have a fine residence, on
one of the principal streets. JOHN I. THOM. For almost a quarter of
a century John I. Thorn has been prominently associated with the
business interests of Pleasantville, meriting the high praise which is
cordially extended him by every one who enjoys his
acquaintanceship. He is a native of Mount Pleasant, New York, his
birth having occurred October 28, 1847. He comes from a sterling,
honored old family of thip state, his parents having been Isaac and
Emeline (Roswell) Thorn, the latter a daughter of John and Esther
(Rogue) Roswell. They all followed agricultural pursuits, leading
quiet, industrious lives, without fear or reproach, as they endeavored
to perform their daily duties in a conscientious manner and were
loving and just to their associates and all with whom they had
dealings. After having reared seven children to maturity, seeing them
take useful places in the busy world, Isaac Thorn and wife passed to
their reward, he dying at the age of seventy-seven years, while she
was just threescore years old at the time of her demise. He was a
Republican in his political attitude, believing firmly in the superiority
of that party. Of his family but four are now living, namely: Mariette;
Deborah; Abbie Jane, wife
 WESTCHESTER COUNTY. 953 of Ed Conklin, of Hudson,
New York, and John I. ; George, Samuel and Esther have passed
into the silent land. Upon the home farm John I. Thom was reared
and educated in the manner common to boys of the agricultural
class in his day. By the time that he had arrived at his majority he
found himself possessed of a fair general education and a thorough
knowledge of the proper way to carry on a farm. However, his tastes
did not lead him to continue as a farmer and he eventually drifted
into business. Coming to Pleasantville, he proceeded to devote his
talents to various enterprises and for a number years has been the
proprietor of a finely equipped livery stable. His horses are of an
unusually high grade, comprising good roadsters and saddle
animals; and a full line of first-class vehicles of different kinds may
be found here. As a business man he has met with success and has
acquired a comfortable competence. Upon arriving at man's estate,
John I. Thom was united in marriage with Miss Fanny Wheeler, who
was born at North Salem, this county, a <3aughter of Ira Wheeler, of
that place. By this union five children were born: Lillie W. , May
Rose, Edith O., Ernest and Thomas. The wife and mother was called
to her final rest in 1880, and Mr. Thom subsequently wedded Miss
Esther Odell, a daughter of Leonard and Martha Odell. One son
graces the second union of our subject, John Leonard by name. Mr.
and Mrs. Thom are members of the Presbyterian church. Following
in the political footsteps of his father, he is an unswerving
Republican, patriotic and public-spirited. ALBERT FINCH. Albert
Finch, a skillful mechanic and expert electrician, is one of the
respected citizens of Yonkers, Westchester county. He is a native of
the city of New York, born December 7, 1844, his parents being
Robert T. and Deborah (Bridgeman) Finch. He is of English ancestry,
and his paternal grandfather was a resident of Berkshire and an
adherent of the Episcopal church. He lived to attain the ripe age of
four-score years. Robert Finch, the father of our subject, was born in
Berkshire and there learned the trade of cabinet-making, which
calling he followed throughou1,his Hfe. On attaining his majority he
came to the United States and took up his residence in New York
city, where he married a daughter of Thomas Bridgeman, a well
known florist. Mr. Bridgeman was possessed of considerable wealth,
owning much valuable property on Broadway, and his greenhouses
and flower gardens were located at Eighteenth street and Broadway,
where he occupied an entire square. He was connected with various
horticultural and agricultural societies, and his opinions were
received as authority upon subjects relating
 954 WESTCHESTER COUNTY. to his line of business. He
was an earnest member of the Baptist church and was noted for his
many acts of kindness and benevolence. Politically he was a
Democrat. His children were seven in number, and were named as
follows: Joseph, John, Alfred, Angela, Deborah, Martha and Emily.
Albert Finch received an excellent education in the schools of the
metropolis and Yonkers, and after completing his studies worked for
four years upon farms in Rockland county. New York. Being too
ambitious to settle down to the routine of an agricultural life, he
then began learning the business of a machinist with Otis Brothers &
Company, of this city. He remained in the employ of that firm for
eight years, during which time he thoroughly mastered the business,
and in 1871 he entered upon his long term of service with the firm
of Eickemeyer & Osterheld, covering a period of twenty-two years.
The firm controls one of the large hat-manufacturing establishments
of the country, and Mr. Finch had charge of their construction and
experimental work. With his able assistance the electric motor for
trolleys, an invention of the senior member of the firm, was placed
in successful operation and has since been introduced in many
sections of the country with gratifying success. Many lines using this
system are now in prosperous and flourishing condition, both
financially and mechanically. When in 1893 the electrical branch of
the business was sold to the Otis Electric Company, Mr. Finch was
sought by the latter firm to fit up their new plant with machinery and
to act as foreman of the enterprise. Accepting the proffered position,
he is now connected with this well known corporation, and under his
supervision has from seventy-five to one hundred and sixty men,
according to the amount of contracts on hand. In 1866 Mr. Finch
was united in marriage to Miss Mary Ann Smith, a daughter of John
Smith, of England. They became the parents of three children, two
of whom died before receiving a name. The other child, Ida, is now
the wife of Charles Thompson, and is a resident of King's Bridge,
New York. In political matters Mr. Finch is entirely independent of
party ties and exercises his franchise in support of the men and
measures which he believes will most promote the public good. He is
identified with the Masonic order, the Exempt Firemen's Association
and the Otis Mutual Benefit Association. . WILLIAM PATEMAN.
William Pateman, senior member of the firm of Pateman &
Lockwood,. lumber dealers, of Irvington, has thus been prominently
connected with the business interests of the city for twenty-three
years, and sustains an unsullied reputation in commercial circles. A
native of New Jersey, he was born in the city of Newark, July 2,
1827, and is a son of John and Sarah J. Pate 
 WESTCHESTER COUNTY. 955man. The father was likewise
a native of New Jersey, but the mother was born in England in the
year 1800. After their marriage they located in the town of Perth
Amboy, New Jersey, where Mr. Pateman engaged in contracting and
building for a number of years. Later he took up his abode in
Newark, where he spent the residue of his days. His wife passed
away in 1878. In his youth William Pateman pursued his education
at night in a private school conducted by Dr. Rowland, at Tarrytown.
He is strictly a selfmade man in the best sense of that term, for at
an early age he started out upon an independent business career,
first serving an apprenticeship at the brick and stone mason's trade.
He also learned the business of lathing and plastering, and having
worked in those lines to some extent in Newark he afterward
became interested in freighting on the Hudson, which pursuit he
followed until 1866. He then turned his attention to the lumber
business, in which he was engaged, as a member of the firm of
Taylor & Pateman, at Dobbs Ferry for six years. The opportunities of
the west next attracted^ him, and he purchased a farm in Morris
county, Kansas, continuing its operation and development until 1875,
when he returned to the east and purchased the interest of Andrew
Storm in the lumber business at Irvington. Prior to 1 876 he had
entered into partnership with S. B. Lockwood, under the firm name
of Lockwood & Pateman, and the new firm dealt in lumber and
mason's materials. In 1888 the style of the company became as at
present, Pateman & Lockwood, and the firm is one of the best
known and most reliable representatives of the lumber trade in this
section of the county. A large and well selected stock of lumber and
all kinds of mason's and builder's materials and supplies are kept
constantly on hand, and as the yards are conveniently located near
the New York Central Railroad tracks, the firm does an extensive and
constantly increasing outside business. By intelligent and well
directed energy Mr. Pateman has made a success of his commercial
enterprises, and at the same time he has won an enviable reputation
for uprightness and honorable dealing in all his transactions. In 1849
Mr. Pateman was united in marriage to Miss Harriet F. Weeks, a
daughter of Absalom Weeks, of North Tarrytown, and by this union
two sons and four daughters were born, namely: Sarah E., who died
in May, 1875; Irene, wife of H. J. Parnell, of Tarrytown; Mary Viola,
wife of William S. Mack; William Thomas, Albert and Edna Hester.
The mother died in May, 1874, and in 1878 Mr. Pateman was again
married, his second union being with Mary M. Miller, of Bedford,
Westchester county, a daughter of Charles M. and Sarah (Holmes)
Miller. They have two children, Edith A. and Charles M., who are
attending the schools of Irvington. The name of Mr. Pateman
appears on the membership roll of Diamond Lodge, No. 555,
 956 WESTCHESTER COUNTY. A. F. & A. M., and he is
regarded as a valued representative of tiie order. He and his wife are
members of Christ church, of Tarrytown, and are active in all good
works whereby their fellow men are to be benefited and elevated.
They have many smcere friends in the community in which they
reside, and are highly respected by all who know them. Since
starting out in life for himself Mr. Pateman has steadily worked his
way upward and as the result of his capable management, untiring
energy and keen discretion in business affairs has won a most
creditable success. RICHARD G. BENNETT. Mr. Bennett, who was
appointed postmaster of Tuckahoe, Westchester county. New York,
January i, 1898, as the successor to Isaac B. Lent, was born in
Staffordshire, England, January 6, 1841, and while an infant his
father died. His mother, whose name before marriage was Sarah
Webber, was a native of England, and for her second husband
married John Massey. In i860 they emigrated to America, when the
family consisted of the stepfather, the mother and a step-brother.
They first settled on Long Island, New York, upon a farm, where
they remained until 1863. Early in the war of the great Rebellion Mr.
Bennett enlisted for the Union and the government, joining Company
H, Fourth Regiment of Massachusetts Cavalry, under the command
of Colonel Washburne, who was killed near the close of the war. The
regiment to which Mr. Bennett was attached was sent to South
Carolina and stationed for a time at Beaufort, and thence went to
Fortress Monroe and to Newport News, where it was placed under
the command of General B. F. Butler, who had been in command of
the Army of the Gulf and was now in charge of the Army of the
James. The regiment remained there until the fall of Richmond,
when it was assigned to duty under General Charles Paine, and
afterward General Terry. With this regiment Mr. Bennett participated
in the battle in front of Richmond, and during that engagement he
contracted a "cold " from which he never fully recovered; however,
he continued in the service until the surrender of General Lee and
the virtual end of the war. With four others, he was the first to enter
Richmond, and was also one of the guards of honor selected to
escort General Robert E. Lee across the lines after his surrender. Mr.
Bennett was often detailed to carry important dispatches to
commanding officers. He was honorably discharged from the army
December 14, 1865. His stepfather, John Massey, was also a soldier
in the same war, a member of the Eleventh New York Heavy Artillery,
and during the last portion of the period of his service he was at
Boston Harbor.
 WESTCHESTER COUNTY. 957 After his discharge Mr.
Bennett visited his old home in England, and, returning, settled on
Long Island, where he married Miss Charlotte Webber, of Long
Island, a daughter of Thomas Webber. She was a native of Nova
Scotia, and when she was a little girl was brought by her parents to
Long Island in their emigration to that section of New York. His
children are Ellen S., Edna F., Lillie G., Richard A., Anna G., Geraldine
L., Emma and Irene. In 1867 Mr. Bennett moved to Tuckahoe, where
he has since resided. From that year until 1898 he was a contractor
and builder, and in January, 1898, he was appointed postmaster, as
already mentioned, for a term of four years. In his political principles
Mr. Bennett is a Republican. For the past fourteen years he has
served his village as a trustee, five years of which time he was
president of the board. He is a member of Farnsworth Post, G. A. R.
, at Mount Vernon; and of Marble Lodge, No. 702, F. & A. M., of
which he was master for three years. He is also one of the wardens
of St. John's church, Protestant Episcopal, at Tuckahoe. He is a
trustee of the Building and Loan Association and of the Tuckahoe
Lyceum. FRANCIS P. TREANOR. An enumeration of those men of the
present generation who have won honor and public recognition for
themselves, and at the same time have honored the state to which
they belong, would be incomplete were there failure to make
prominent reference to the one whose name initiates this paragraph.
He holds distinctive precedence in Democratic circles in Westchester
county,. in fact is an important factor in the party in connection with
its state management and policy. He has held positions of
prominence, in all of which his course has been characterized by a
masterful understanding of the problems presented, and by a
patriotic devotion to those measures which he believed for the public
good. Over his political record there falls no shadow of wrong or
suspicion of evil and he is popular among the political leaders of the
Empire state. Born in New York city, on the nth of May, 1856, he is a
son of Patrick and Margaret (Tammany) Treanor. His father, who was
born in 18 10, died in 1875, at the age of sixty-five years. In the
family were three sons and a daughter. James J., the eldest, is a
graduate of St. Francis Xavier's College, which has conferred upon
him the degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts, and had the
honor of being valedictorian of his class. He is now engaged in the
stone business in New York city, and is one of the prominent and
brilliant men of the metropolis. John A., the second of the family,
was a graduate of St. Francis Xavier College, became a member of
the Jesuit
 •958 WESTCHESTER COUNTY. order of Catholic priests and
vice-president of St. John's College, of New York city. He was also
vice-president of St. Francis Xavier College, of New York, and pastor
of St. Lawrence church, on Eighty-fourth street. In 1881, in company
with Judge Donahue of the supreme court, he made an extended
trip through the west. While descending the Yosemite valley in a
carriage the vehicle was overturned and he was killed. He was a
man of great learning and one of the most distinguished priests in
the city. Margaret, the only daughter of the family, was graduated in
the convent of the Sacred Heart, then became a sister in that order,
and there died in 1884. The other son of the family is Francis P.
Treanor, of this review. He was educated at Montreal, Canada, and in
St. Francis Xavier's College, in New York city, receiving from the
latter institution the degree of A. B. upon his graduation in 1877.
Three years later he was selected by his alma mater to address the
graduating class of 1880, at Chickering Hall, New York city. This is
considered a great honor by the alumni, and the recognition of Mr.
Treanor's ability in this manner was most fitting and well deserved.
On leaving school he became associated with his father in the stone
business, a connection that was continued for several years. Later
he was a member of the firm of Hurst & Treanor and is now the
junior member of the firm of J. J. & F. P. Treanor. Their business has
grown to extensive proportions and brings to them a handsome
income. They are accounted among the leaders of the stone trade in
the metropolis, and at the present writing, in the spring of 1899, Mr.
Treanor is in the employ of the corporation counsel, Mr. Clark, of
New York city, in charge of the construction of the Empire City
Trotting track, at Yonkers, which will be the finest track in the world
when completed. He possesses keen discrimination in business
affairs, marked enterprise and sound judgment and his well directed
efforts have brought him a most creditable and gratifying success.
But while Mr. Treanor enjoys a most enviable reputation in
commercial circles, he is probably better known throughout the state
in connection with his political labors. His knowledge of the issues of
the day is broad and comprehensive, and his opinions are the result
of careful deliberation. In 1879, when only twenty-three years of
age, he was elected a member of the general assembly from the
seventeenth district of New York city, receiving a majority of two
thousand, when the year before there had been a Republican
majority of seven hundred and one. He served as the only
Democratic member on the committee of cities from New York, that
year, and with the exception of Theodore Roosevelt, the present
governor, was the youngest member of that legislature. He was the
only Democratic member appointed by the speaker on the
committee to investigate the street-cleaning department of New York
city, and following their report many changes and
 WESTCHESTER COUNTY. 959 reforms were effected. In
1881 he was elected as a Tammany candidate from the old eleventh
senatorial district, of New York, the largest district in the city at that
time, extending from the thirtieth district to Harlem river, including
the whole of the annexed district from the Harlem district to Long
Island sound and the Yonkers line. His opponents were Senator T. E.
C. Ecclecine, the regular Democratic nominee, and Steve Van
Rensselaer, the Republican candidate, known as the "silver-tongued
lawyer." He was elected by a majority of five thousand, when the
year previous the district had given a Republican majority of thirty-
five hundred. He was at that time the youngest man ever elected
state senator in New York, being only twenty-six years of age. He
served as chairman of the committee on commerce and navigation,
also of internal affairs, and was a member of the committee on
cities. In connection with Senator Grady, he was credited with
accomplishing the famous deadlock which lasted for seven weeks
before the organization of the senate. In 1884 he was again
tendered the nomination for senator, but declined to accept on
account of business reasons. He was once appointed a member of
the police board by Mayor J. H. Bell, and was offered re-appointment
by Mayor J. H. Weller. He refused the honor, but continued a
member of the board of health, being three times re-appointed to
that board and serving throughout all the legislative changes which
occurred from the time of its organization. Upon the retirement of W.
H. Paddock from the presidency of the police board, Mr. Treanor was
elected his successor, in which capacity he has served up to the
present time, having been reappointed in October, 1897, for another
term of four years, which will continue until 1901. At the last election
he received thirteen out of fourteen votes cast, a fact which
indicates iq no uncertain manner the faithfulness which marked his
discharge of duty. In 1880 Mr. Treanor was a delegate to the
Democratic national convention, which nominated Hancock for the
presidency. In 1882 be was a delegate to the state convention which
nominated Grover Cleveland for the position of governor of New
York, and was again a delegate in the state conventions of 1884,
1885 and 1898. He has frequently been a delegate to the county
conventions, and was chairman thereof in 1896. He was a member
of the original commission which drafted the bill for the creation of
the present department of public works of Yonkers, organized in
1894. By Mr. Clark, corporation counsel of New York city, he was
appointed a member of a commission of three members to appraise
claims for damages amounting to over a million dollars done to
property along the Bronx river, due to drainage for Kensico dam. The
first award, as decreed by the court of appeals, required the city to
pay only one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. He was also a
.member of the board of health that destroyed the notorious
unsanitary dams
 960 WESTCHESTER COUNTY. on the Nepperhan river. He is
now chairman of the third-ward Democratic general committee and
also of its executive committee, and belongs to the Democratic City
Club, of New York city. Mr. Treanor was governor of the Palisade
Boat Club for eight years and vice-president for three years, and is a
gentleman of social qualities and genial disposition, popular in club,
commercial and political circles. Of scholarly attainments, broad
culture and genuine worth, he has risen to a position of prominence
in the Empire state and is accorded the admiration and respect
which he justly deserves. In October, 1882, was celebrated the
marriage of Mr. Treanor and Miss Agnes O'Connor, and to them have
been born two sons and two daughters: Mary, William J., Gladys M.
and Frank P. Mrs. FLORENCE HILL. The Florence Hotel of Tarrytown,
unquestionably one of the most popular hostelries of Westchester
county, is finely situated upon a height overlooking the Hudson river
and much of the town, and its advantages of location are obvious,
as, at the same time it is on Broadway, a macadamized and well
kept street, along which many of the most beautiful and attractive
homes of the wealthy are built. The peculiar beauties of Tarrytown
have often been told, in song and story, and visitors delight to haunt
the scenesmade immortal by Washington Irving. From the great
metropohs come hither the busy people, wearied with the ceaseless
struggle for wealth and position, and find in the quiet peace and
loveliness of nature hereabouts the rest and solace they crave.
Among these throngs are to be found many of the patrons of the
Florence Hotel, — many, too, who are periodical guests, for, having
once come, they are almost certain to do so again, finding, asthey
do here, all of the accustomed appointments of modern ways of
living. The Florence Hotel is owned by Colonel William J. Ryan, of
Tarrytown, well known here and in New York city, as he deals
extensively in real estate and is the possessor of numerous choice
pieces of property in the metropolis. He is a native of the Empire
state and grew to maturity here. Commencing his business career
with but little means, he nevertheless accumulated a snug fortune
within a few years, by the exercise of unusually good judgment and
enterprise. For years he dealt extensively in fine horses and live
stock, and from time to time he made judicious investments in real
estate. He leased the old Franklin House in Tarrytown, and after
thoroughly renovating and changing it from cellar to garret, and
refurnishing it with modern fittings, changed the name to the one
which it now bears — the Florence Hotel. All kinds of expensive,
practical improvements in the way of plumbing, steam and gas
fitting are to be found in the establishment, and
 WESTCHESTER COUNTY. 961 everything about the place
tends toward the comfort of the guests. Over ten thousand dollars
has recently been expended in the re-fitting of the house, and it is
the intention of the proprietor to maintain a high standard of
excellence in every department. During the summer of 1898 it was
noted that numerous distinguished citizens of New York aad other
places stayed for a period at the Florence, and among the number, a
few names, taken at random, from the hotel register, may be
mentioned: Lieutenant Kleck, of the Seventy -first New York
Regiment; Calvin W. Smith; Lieutenant Keene, of the Fourteenth
New York Volunteer Infantry; Captain Evans; Hon. J. K. P. Hull, of
Ridgeway Park; E. M. C. Elbert and J. Fisher, of New York city. Much
of the popularity of the Florence Hotel is due, without doubt, to the
lady who has it in charge as manager — Mrs. Florence Hill. She is a
native of New York city, receiving her education in its superior public
schools, and, upon arriving at womanhood, became the wife of Mr.
Hill, who died several years ago. Their only child, Charles Hill, a
bright, promising boy, is now attending school at Tarrytown. Mrs.
Hill's mother is now the wife of Colonel Ryan, who, as previously
stated, is the owner of the Florence Hotel. Mrs. Hill personally
supervises the various departments of the hotel, and to her keen
foresight and genuine business ability the success of the enterprise
must be attributed. Everything which can be done, conducing to the
comfort and pleasure of visitors is promptly attended to, and the
neatness and homelike appearance of the rooms is frequently
commented upon. While the hotel is especially patronized in
summer, when the beautiful scenery of the river and neighborhood is
charming to any one, but particularly so to the inhabitant of the hot,
dusty cities, each season of the year has its own peculiar loveliness
here, the dainty, fresh greenness of the spring-time, the autumnal
tints, and the pure snow and ice of winter along the Hudson,
attracting fully as much admiration from the sight-seer and traveler
as the full-blown glories of mid-summer. JAMES ROSS. The popular
and efficient postmaster of New Rochelle, New York, has for several
years been connected with the post-office and held other local
offices of trust and responsibility, and is one of the leading and most
publicspirited young men of the town. Mr. Ross is a native of New
Rochelle, was born December 19, i86o, and is a son of James G. and
Catherine M. Ross, natives of Scotland, who have for many years
made their home at New Rochelle. Here for a long term of 61
 962 WESTCHESTER COUNTY. years the senior Mr. Ross has
been superintendent of the Beechwood cemetery. In the public
schools of his native town James Ross received a good education,
and on leaving school accepted a position in the New Rochelle
postoffice, under Benjamin Badeau. He continued in the office under
Postmasters A. M. Dederer and William V. Molloy, serving as
assistant postmaster. In January, 1898, he was appointed
postmaster, his appointment was confirmed April 12, 1898, and May
ist he assumed the duties of the oiBce, for which his long term of
service has so ably fitted him. Other offices filled by him are those of
clerk of the village, trustee and assessor, and in the last named
office he is now serving bis third term, each term covering a period
of three years. For the past seven years he has been chief of the fire
department. Fraternally, he is identified with the Masonic order, and
is a worthy member of Huguenot Lodge, No. 46, F. & A. M. Mr. Ross
is unmarried. LEMAN B. TREADWELL, Sr. As a member of the law
firm of Scott & Treadwell, the subject of this review is enjoying a
successful and lucrative practice at the bar of New York city, with
office at No. 91 Nassau street. He is a native of Westchester county,
