But within the last week. II Is said, COM

cluded to end the turf career OF this splendid
son Of Commando. Last year Superman
surprised the racing world by winning the
Brooklyn Handicap over heavy track.
A great future was predicted for him then.
but, contrary to expectations. he did not ao-
compsh much in succeeding races.
As MIR. Keene sent Peter Pan. another
great son OF Commando. to his breeding
establishment last fall after the colt had
struck himself few days following his sem

It is evident that he Is an nxious to produce
a new crop Of colts and fillies with the blood

Speaking Of Mr.. Keenes great race horses

MIR, keene's Peter Ounce. another son OF

class in the last event. was supposed to be a
great two-year-old last season. He was
widely touted but did not start until the
Saratoga meeting. when he was soundly
beaten. After that Rowe passed him up.
but held to the belief that the colt would
develop into slashing three-year-old Peter

but he showed fine turn Of speed and won
no easily that the regulars tabled him for
future reference.
1t becomes more evident from day to day
that the Whitney stable will cut q big figure
in this seasons important stakes. With Jack
Ioyner in charge and Eddie Dugan in the
saddle all the Whitney horses are command
ing much attention these days. The two
year-olds Dobbn and Sandpiper have won
excellent races. while Roy Tourist, by virtue
Of his defeat OF Roseben the other day. looks
like a high class three-year-old. Mr.. Whit

Yesterday, did so we'll that many turf experts
predicted that she would prove to be the
champion three-year-old Ally. She was the
leading two-year-old of her sex. and when
Colin beat her in a stake event last fall she
was not by any means disgraced.
Stamina is by Nasturtium-- En- durance by
