THE GAME BREEDER 



from northeastern Mexico imported into 

 the United States will be issued only for 

 birds entered through said stations, 

 namely, on the Rio Grande at Eagle 

 Pass, Tex., and on the Atlantic seaboard 

 at New York, N. Y. 



Inspection 



Regulation 2. All quail from north- 

 eastern Mexico will be subject to exam- 

 ination by an Inspector of the Bureau of 

 Animal Industry. Birds entered at 

 Eagle Pass, Tex., will be subject to in- 

 spection and quarantine for a time suffi- 

 cient to cover the period of incubation of 

 quail disease, but not exceeding ten (10) 

 days, counting from date of arrival at 

 the quarantine station. Birds entered at 

 New York which have been under obser- 

 vation during the voyage for sufficient 

 time to cover the period of incubation of 

 the disease may be entered, in the dis- 

 cretion of the inspector, without further 

 delay, if found on inspection to be free 

 from disease, but if any symptoms indi- 

 cative of quail disease are present the 

 entire consignment shall be quarantined 

 for a period not less than ten (10) days, 

 and held subject to special instructions 

 from the department. 



Permits to be Endorsed. 



Regulation 3. Permits for the entry 

 of quail from northeastern Mexico will 

 be endorsed by an Inspector of the 

 Bureau of Animal Industry "inspected 

 and found free from quail disease" be- 

 fore the quail are released from quaran- 

 tine and before the permits are accepted 

 by officers of the customs. 

 Quarantine. 



Regulation 4. During the period of 

 quarantine birds will be confined in suit- 

 able enclosures and furnished with suffi- 

 cient food, sand, gravel, and pure water. 

 Birds must not be kept in shipping boxes 

 and the enclosures in which they are con- 

 fined must be kept in a sanitary condi- 

 tion, and subject to the approval of the 

 Inspector. Birds imported on different 

 dates must not be confined together in 

 the same enclosure. Importers will be 

 required to provide suitable enclosures 

 to be approved by the inspector, and to 

 pay all necessary expenses of mainte- 

 nance of the birds during quarantine. 



Dead Birds. 



Regulation 5. Bodies of birds which 

 die during the period of quarantine or 

 during the voyage to New York must 

 not be destroyed until submitted to the 

 inspector for preliminary examination 

 and if necessary such specimens will be 

 forwarded;to the department for further 

 examination. 



Suspension of Permits. 

 Regulation 6. In case of discovery of 

 quail disease further entry of birds will 

 be suspended and all outstanding permits 

 immediately canceled. In order to avoid 

 loss in such contingency importers are 

 advised to ship not more than one thou- 

 sand birds in any one consignment, to 

 use only new crates or crates which have 

 been thoroughly disinfected, and not to 

 attempt to hold in quarantine more birds 

 than can be properly, cared for. 



Dr. Charles Frederick Holder. 



The founder of the Tuna Club of 

 Catalina Island, California, died at his 

 home in Pasadena, October 10, 1915. 



Dr. Holder was born in Massachusetts 

 and was a direct descendant of Christo- 

 pher Holder, who established the first 

 settlement of Quakers in America, 1656. 

 He was a well-known author and wrote 

 many books. Sportsmen and anglers are 

 familiar with "Big Game Fishes of the 

 United States," "The Log of a Sea 

 Angler," "Big Game at Sea" and "Fish 

 Stories," in which he collaborated with 

 Dr. David Starr Jordan. Besides the 

 books about fish and angling Dr. Holder 

 wrote the "Life of Charles Darwin," 

 "Along the Florida Reef," "Louis Agas- 

 sis, His Life," and a number of others. 

 He was a good sportsman and angler, 

 and at an early date he endorsed the 

 "more game" movement in a letter to 

 the editor of The Game Breeder. He 

 belonged to many clubs, the Valley Hunt 

 and Twilight clubs of Pasadena, the 

 Sunset Club of Los Angeles, and others, 

 and had received the gold medal of the 

 Academie de Sport of France. 



More game and fewer game laws.
