s2l, 7o5. He met defeat in the Withers, the
Carlton and the Coney Island Jockey Club
Stakes. His next starts will probably he In
the Saratoga Handicap and the Saratoga
Derby.
IL Ia conceded by all turf experts that Peter
Pan is the best of Commanders get and that
he will prove a fitting successor to his illus
trtous sire In the Keene stud. His defeats
have all been explained away, and for that
matter have been forgotten in the hour OF
his latest triumph. IL was a matter of COM
ment after yesterdays race that If Miller had
ridden Peter Pan the colt might not have
won, AZ Miller has never shown Notter's
ability in racing a horse and coming from
behind over a distance OF gound. Miller
might have gotten Peter Pan away from the
post will more alacrity than did Notter,
but the latter's finishing qualities could not
nave oeen exceiied. everybody IL seemed.
