PHAR LAP'S SHOE.
TEA TRADER IN AMERICA Accompanying a letter to a wellknown Auckland sportsman received this morning from Mr. C. Morse, trainer of Tea Trader and Pillow Eight, now racing in America, was a parcel containing one of the shoes worn by the champion racehorse, Phar Lap. The Aucklander has determined to have the shoe nickle-plated, and attached to hie motor car as a mascot. In his letter Mr. Morse says America is a great country, and that he is making many friends. Pillow Eight, who had not reached the top of hip form, was, at the time of writing, gradually coming right, and the trainer expected him to soon be winning races and showing his true galloping ability. "Tea Trader has got the wind up the sprinters here," says Mr. Morse, "so much so that for the sprint to-day (the meeting was not mentioned) there were only two acceptors, Tea Trader and a horse named Up, and it was' decided to abandon. the race."
