Old timers, such as veterans among

A Futurity Possibility.

A ''horse reception" under the pines,
to which all lovers of the thorough
bred were invited. IS something new
in the racing world, but such an affair
was pulled off" during the week at
the race track. The reception was held
in honor of Master Peter Ounce, son
of the mighty Commando, and the
"mysterious colt" In the Keene barn.
AS the society reporter would write:
1.-THE affair was most successful In
every respect, the young host receiv
ing the high encomiums on his range,
substance and barrel with becoming
dignity" Peter Ounce might win the
Futurity, which big event opens up at
the Sheepshead Bay fall meeting next
Saturday. He has been kept under
close cover all summer, but every now
and then reports of great work done
by him have reached outer racing cir
Giles, and that is why so many turfmen
and turf ladies' looked him over In
the paddock on Tuesday.
Tho consensus of opinion. was that
his looks corresponded with his report
ed trials While no one connected with
the Keene stable will say that Peter
Ounce, is better colt than Colin, they
make no denial of the belief that he is
just as good. Ii this is So the fue
turity looks to be at the mercy of
Mr.. Keene. for with Colin and Peter
Ounce sporting silk In the famous
event it's hardly worth while sending
any of the other aspirants after the
rich prize But, nevertheless, the Keene
Youngsters will not have things their
own way, for many an owner feels deep
down In his heart that the white ana
blue spots will be taken In camp on
the afternoon of August 81. The Flu
'turity field promises to be as large as
