Earnings for the Past Year of Pierre
Lorillnrd's stud.

Lorillnrd's Stud.
a correspondent of the Philadelphia
Nctcs, writing from Burlington, n. j.,
says; The Rancocas Stables at Jobs
town, owned by Pierre Lorillard, are
about going into winter quarters. The
earnings of the stables this year have
been very large, exceeding previous
years. They have, however, not been
entirely satisfactory to the millionaire
owner. Although the start was promis
ing, he was much disappointed with
the final results. The stables missed
the spring meetings at Baltimore and
jerome Park and began the season at
Sheepshead Bay. 1t was here that the
famous Mortemer colts Cyclops and
Savanac failed in the Foam Stakes.
Notwithstanding the many defeats the
stable won S0606750. Wanda, who
was beaten for the Swift Stakes by
Brookwood, and for the Coney Island
Stakes by Miss Woodford, and nearly
beaten by Mr.. Scott's East Lynne, won
$50, ,440 for her owner. The better part
of this was in one stake, namely, mt the
ulhi w llOu Nllt NOl llC
Lorillard Stake, amounting alone to
S1S,030.
At Monmouth the followers of Ran
cocas were sourcd ut the defeats of Nor
temer's two-year- -olds, they only getting
credit for twelve races during the
meeting. Lorillard suffered much dis
appointment at Sheepshead Bay in
September. The earnings of the
horses were as follows; Wanda, 3, by
Mortemer, $50, ,44O; Dewdrop, 2, by
Falsetto, S11, ,407; Pontiac, 4, by Pero
Gomerz, $15, 5,540; Unrest, 3, by Nor
temer, $11, ,269; Cyclops, ?, by Nor
tcmer, S4,970; Saranac, ,, by Nor
temer, $4, 220; Katrine, o, by Mortemer,

Glen Athol, $780, Winfred, 2, by Nor
temer, $40O; Saluda, ,, by Mortemer,
| $3.50; Pasha, ., by Saxon, $3.50; Dione,
3, by Mortemcr, $75 The entrance
money for the $50 starts, in which the
stable participated, amounted to
50, $50, leaving net total of SS6, 80.
| At Jerome Park Pontico made his
debut, winning Il selling race, which
| produced the stormy scene between the
| owners of the RancOcas and Brooklyn
| stables, costing the former the sum of
| $7,005 to retain the winner, being
| the highest price ever paid in this
| country for horse in u selling race.
This reduces the net total to S10,-
1880.
The Rancocas stables in 1888 en-
| tered in various races % horses, who
made 203 starts, of which they won 81
races, were second 80 times and third
| 90 times, the gross amount won being
sos, ,205. In 1884 23 horses started 1871

Nineteen jockeys have worn the
CHERRY and black" during the year.
Mr., Pierre Lorillard, sr,, is proud Of
| his Rancocas stables and is much eX-
ercised about its future master. 4
year ago he made his son, n. Griswold
Lorillard, his partner in his racing en-
prises, but the business is not con
genial to him, so he has acqucsced in
another plan, whereby his father has
arranged that Pierre Lorillard, ir.
shall become n trustee for his little son
Pierre, now 4 years old, who is to be
the future master of the great stud
farm of Burlington County.
