Breeder and Sport9man.—Gentlemen: The Percheron Society of America has, since December, 1908, endeavored to in- duce the Federal authorities to furnish promptly a list of the names and num- bers of all horses imported, so as to pro- vide the Secretary with a check list with which to compare foreign certificates sent in tor record. June 16, 1910, the Board went still further and urged that the Federal Government provide an in- spector at ports of entry, to see whether the horses and foreign certificates agreed, and submit a report on same, immedi- ately, to the Secretary of the association. The Government has indicated a willing- ness to do this, but has so far failed to carry out such a plan, and the situation is now such that the Society has found it necessary to make such inspection for identification at its own expense. This will be confined entirely to seeing whether the horses and pedigrees corres- pond, will be made at the port of entry by a competent inspector employed by the association, and will start at once. The Society regrets the necessity of un- dertaking work which the Federal Gov- ernment might very properly do to help the breeders and importers, but until the Federal authorities will take charge of this, the Society must protect itself. In cases when the horses and foreign certifi- cates do not agree, registration will be with-held until the importer straightens matters out. If he cannot, no American certificate will be issued, and the Federal Government will collect duty on the ani- mal in question. The establishment of such inspection at port of entry will preclude any possi- bility of mistake or fraud, and will ma- terially increase promptness and accur- acy in the work of the association. It will also, within a short time, enable the Socity to clear most of the imported horses as so
