Trainer Rowe says Court Dress and
Peter Pan VIII Remain Here.


New York, Jan. 9-James Rowe says
that II his boss. James r. Keene, has any
intention of sending Court Dress and Pc
ter Pan to England he (Rowe) has not
heard Of it. It is pretty safe. therefore.
to assume that Mr.. Keene has abandoned
the idea OF making the formidable English
campaign next year he is said to have
entertained last fall. When man con-
templates a step so important as sending
abroad the two best horses in his barn he
generally takes his trainer into his conf
dence.
Most trainers would object to losing two
such horses as Peter Pan and Court Dress.
First-class horses are nard TO get hold Of
Many a trainer has waited ten years for
one. Some never handle anything first
class. But while Rowe is not begging Mr..
Keene to send either Court Dress or Peter
Pan away, he says ne would not mterpOse
an objection if Mr.. Keene suggested ship
ping them to England. He will have big
establishment next season. There are
many promising -year-Olds in the
Keene barn at Sheepshead Bay. and the
virginia trainer says he never broke

mando Peter Pans sire that will race in
America, and a finer bunch Of Disguises
