Tel, Copyright.) (Received Nov. 20. 11 p.m.) SYDNEY, Nov. 20. .The LTimaroa left for Wellington. Phar Lap was taken aboard an honi before his departure in charge of trainer ,T. Woodcock. A large crowd saw the . champion hoisted aboard in a horsebox. This was a new experience for Phar Lap, who went kindly. His /companions en route will bo a mule and a donkey.

MAY NOT GO BFYOND.N.Z

(U.P.A. by Elec. Tel. Copyright.) (Received Nov. 20. 11 p.m.) SYDNEY, Noy 20. Interviewed, Mr. Telford said that Phar Lap is going to his brother’s stable 3 at Trentham. The horse wall remain in New Zealand for a month, or possibly, two months, while arrangements are being made tor bis

future movements' by Mr. Davis in America. There is just a chance that Phar Lap would not go furthei than New Zealand. PHAR LAP’S PROSPECTS, -s HISTORY AGAINST SUCCESS. Phar Lap has to rise to greater heights if he is' to maintain his sir perioritv on American tracks (says, a Sydney writer). More than once, has'an owner been inspired to take his horse abroad because of outstanding form in Australia, end m mnnv instances has met with disappointment. Strephon was the most, recent ease. He left Australia for England covered with a mantle of glory, gained much as Phar Lap has gained his. Every precaution was taken <o give him a comfortable trin, and to acclimatise him bv breaking the journey where possible, but to no avail, and be landed in England evidently a shadow of the Strephon known to Australians, and lifts run mediocre race s at each of his attempts. It is not that the best of Australian jjorses do not compare with the best horses of the world. In fact, competent judges affirm that Australia has bred just as good galloners ns could bo found in England, and has more good ones at the same time. The main trouble m acclimatisation with which may ho oonnled the difficulty of getting a liorsn accustomed to new racing enndi (ions. One of the first Australians to i = sue a challenge to tbo world was the laie Air. James AVilson. of A7ictoria, who was so eonvipood of the snneriorit’ l of his horse.

Phar Lap will probably have n hotter chance of arriving in America in condition to undergo training than if the trip to England was being undertaken. At least, it is to he hoped so, for Australians would naturally like to hear of his success among some of America’s best horses. ■ NOTES AND NEWS Sporting Chance and The Mirror have been scratched for their Levin engagements. * % # A report in the Dominion, that Air D. J. Barry has leased the stable at one time owned by Air J. Goring Johnson, and that he will have five or six horses in work at Awapuni in about a fortiight, is contradicted by Air Barry, who says that he is unable to suggest- how such an incorrect- report coukl have got into circulation. * * *

Night Guard was solidly supported in each of his starts at the New Zealand Cup meeting. His being a brother to the mighty Phar Lap might have caused such solid support, for the gelding has never done anything to warrant his carrying so much support. On the first day of the meeting he finished a close fourth in the Spring Plate, and was staying on. His next start wa,s in the Derby, in which he whipped the field in. Hi? showing looked too bad to be true, and it was. Inquiries elicited the information that he got his tongue over the bit when at the harrier, and was choking at the finish. He is not a Phar Lap, but he will win races.
