LORD DARNLEY’S MISSION AT AWAPUNI
MAY REVERT TO HACK RANKS Lord Darnley is an acceptor for the President’s Handicap, the sevenfurlong open hat. event at the Manawatu Hunt Club's meeting at Awapuni to-morrow, but he is stated to be more likely to sport silk in the Tararua Hack Cup, the preceding event. The Trent ham-1 rained Siegfried gc’ding has had several recent essays in open company, but he is still eligible for hack races, as his winnings are just short of the £5OO limit. Il will be recalled that on the opening day of the Wanganui winter meeting Lord Darnley finished second, beaten a head, lo Hulabaloo in the Connollv Handicap, anil then was beaten into third place in the Russell Grace Handicap by Di leas and Second Seal after running wide at the turn. He failed to show up in the Manawatu Winter Cup in June, but finished fourth in the Empire Handicap on the same course a fo'tnight ago, only to register another failure in the 1 Manawatu Handicap last Saturday. Lord Darnley has 9.13 in the Tara-
rua Hack Cup to-morrow, as against the 7.11 awarded him in the President’s Handicap, but the company is not very stro-n” and the distance, a mile and a-quarter should be more to his liking than the seven-furlong open
