PRIZE WINNING PERCHERONS OF 1917 
Herewith is presented the tbird annual report of all Percheron shows held 
In the United States and Canada that were recognized by the Percheron Society 
of America during the past Fair season. Every effort has been made to malie 
this report tree from errors, but we have been obliged to rely upon infor- 
mation furnished by Fair ofBcials, and if a few mistakes are found, we ask 
your patience and co-operation In the future. A few Fairs have failed to 
furnisli details required In some classes and in such we have been compelled 
to omit the awards. Affected exhibitors are requested to impress on Fair 
officials who have failed to keep proper records, the extreme importance of 
having their ring books complete in every detail. No Fair book is complete 
unless it gives the name and registry number of every animal that won a 
prize, even in the groups. Exhibitors who have shown unrecorded foals 
should remember that we cannot publish the winnings of an unregistered 
animal. In the group classes, such as get of sire, produce of dam. grand 
display or breeder's group, exhibitors could advertise their show records 
more and at the same time enhance the value of this annual publication by 
giving the name and registry number of every animal shown in a group to 
the clerk when tlie awards are made and before the animals leave the ring. 
This year, twenty-one county Fairs were recognized by the Society. The 
same classification and ribbons were offered as at the state Fairs but 
only four silver medals were awarded at these smaller shows. 
In the open classes, breeders are given following all American hred ani- 
mals indicated by (B) except where the animal is bred by exliihitor. If 
breeder is not given, it is understood that the exhibitor is the breeder. 
Addresses are not given as these can be ol>tained from the stud hooks or 
from the published lists of members. 
Following is a list of the special classes for which premiums were offered 
by the Percheron Society of America at these various shows, together with 
the qualifications governing each class, to permit condensing the detailed 
reports.
