Dead Horse "Lives" in Marvel of Taxidermy


Great Australian Racer, Exhibited in Rare Mounting, Looks Ready for One More Contest
CROWDS packing the grandstands at Belmont Park, famous Long Island racetrack, received their biggest thrill recently from a horse not entered in the races—a horse that had died six months before!
Phar Lap, legendary wonder horse of Australia, rode by on a motor truck, neck arched, alert ears slanted forward, chestnut coat a silken sheen. Every muscle, every vein, every ripple of the skin was there. The magnificent animal had been "brought to life" by one of the most amazing pieces of scientific taxidermy on record.
After appearing at American tracks, where he had been expected to run this year, Phar Lap is going home. In Australia, the famous horse will be placed on permanent exhibition.
