Sir Hugo Hirst, the owner of'Diolite, the Two Thousand Guineas winner, describes Mr Davis’s Phar Lap challenge

as a true sporting offer, but he does not foi'seee any English owner accepting it.

S. Darling, the trainer of Strephon, at Newmarket, expresses the opinion that the drawbacks of an English classic horse, in going to Australia would lie too great. He said that unless the owner were prepared to send Phar La.p to England and allow him a year, or possibly eighteen months, to acclimatise, there was little chance of a match.
