James r. Keene vice-chairrnan of the Jockey
Club, had the satisfaction OF seeing his good
snando colt. Peter Pan redeem himself for his de-
feat in the Coney Island Jockey Club Stakes last
Saturday. when the track was greasy and not to
his liking, by winning the ninth running of the Ad
Stakes. at one mile and three furlongs at
SheeDshcad Bay yesterday. The satisfaction OF
his owner was not more keen, perhaps, than
that of the majority of thirty thousand persons
who watched the struggle and shouted joyously as
Peter Pan gallopng down through the
stretch with his opponents driving to keep within
striking distance. 1t was not much that Peter
Pan the favorite but rather that he has come
TO more or less OF public idol with those who
love good horse and the cheers which greeted
him were of the spontaneous kind which indicates
real enthusiasm.
The Advance Stakes was at weight for age, and.
