JAMES R. KEENES PLANS FOR COLIN. Unbeaten Colt Probably Will Be Mated with English Mares Nest Season Before Return to America. New York, July 8. James R. Keene probably will not bring his great Commando colt. Colin, back, to the United States until the middle of next year. He has given up hope of seeing Colin race in England because the colts forelegs are to the bad. He will not stand the kind of preparation he requires to fit him to hold his own with horses of his class in Great Britain. But it is the intention of the vice-chairman of the Jockey Club to establish the horse at some English stud next spring and buy some mares to breed to him. He may also permit Colin to serve the mares of English breeders for substantial fees. Mr. Keene probably will not experience difficulty in disposing of fifteen or twenty seasons to Colin In England. The fame of the brown horse crossed the Atlantic before him and many breeders havo indicated a desire to send good mares to him. The produce of such mares as Mr. Keene may breed to Colin before the horse returns to the United States will be left in England to race as two and three-year-olds under the spotted jacket.
