horses in foreign countries. AS matter

claim when they were sent abroad by Mr.
Vseue and were rated as valuable addi-
,ons TO the foreign breeding world.
Colin has done stud duty in England for

his get, a two-year-old this year, was the
most highly tried youngster in England

the Flatbush. the Produce Cat Brighton
Beach, the Matron and the Champagne.
As a three-year-old he was winner OF
the Withers, the Belmont and the Tidal.
With the exception of two races, he won
with consummate ease, and on almost
every occasion he was required TO give
away weight The two occasions when
ne felt the sting OF the whip were'in the
running Of the Eclipse, when Beaucoup'
over a muddy track, had him straight TO
win By a head, and in the running of the
Belmont Stakes. In the latter, which was
also run over a muddy track, hotter, VINO
rode Colin, mistook the finish pole ana
was easing Colin up. when August Bel
mont's Fair Play closed with rush that
almost cost the Keene champion the race.
Peter Pan is a bay son of Commando
Cinderella and is nine years old. WINE
Colin was taking all that was in sight
among the two-year-olds he was one OF
the best three-year-olds in the string
