IN DIVISIONS

Takapuna 5 Plate WUI Attract Many (From "N.Z. Truth's" Auckland Rep.) Takapuna seem plainly m trouble ' over the important Hack Plate to be, decided next week. Nothing but a miracle can prevent the : splitting up of the party into two divisions. • , ITOR safety sake only twenty-four . . contestants can line up for competition from the seven-furlong peg at North Shore. . It seems highly improbable that fifteen of those already figuring m the rich hack event will go put. - It certainly seems at present that two Cup trophies will have to be provided, though nothing definite can be forecasted /or arranged until v after general acceptance day. ■ It has been given out that the Hawkes Bay three-year-old Millais will come north, and that Wiggins will be the horseman. . - » This will infuse : outside interest m the contest, and also place Millais well up m the betting market. However, there, is no alteration ' nf n.ortherh' opinion ,at present regarding the most likely pair to survive. Gold Money and Leitrim are the ' ruling 'favorites up north../-; If the pair chance to be drawn m different divisions there will be a shower of money to support them.
