.WELLINGTON, June 8
Owing to the prevalence ot disease among horses in the tnited State* and Canada, the importation of horse* from those countries into New Zealand is now prohibited. A similar prohibition was imposed by Australia a tew weeks ago, aiid New Zealand, in effecting the embargo, the necessary authority tor which appears in to-night’s Gazette, is acting in co-ordination with the Commonwealth. Owing to the disease (equine encephalomyelitis) there has been a considerable mortality rate among horses in the United States and Cam ada recently, and the New Zealand embargo will remain in force until the position is reviewed.
The only horses imported Tfom the United States into New Zealand are trotters, but it is considered that the. tjiicautionaiy embargo will not seriously affect trotting interests in the Dominion.
