vey to the National Association of Audu- 

 bon Societies the most hearty and en- 

 thusiastic congratulations of the Society 

 on the splendid success achieved by the 

 Association and by the New York Zoologi- 

 cal Society, in securing the adoption of 

 the Plumage Clause in the United States 

 Tariff Bill. Their congratulations are also 

 extended to all other humane societies 

 of the states which have aided in this

 trust that Great Britain will be the first 

 to follow the lead thus given, by the pass- 

 ing of the Government Bill now before the 

 country for prohibiting all importation 

 of the plumage of wild birds into the 

 United Kingdom.
