Such was the entry made in the books
of the Jockey Club one day last week and
the meaning Of it is that the right to use
the racing colors of the late Pierre Loril
lard and the name of his stable has passed
for life to the son of the late turfman. II
also means that the right to the use of the
colors and stable name has passed to the
Lorillard family and will remain there, if
the family desires, so long as descendant
of the dead turfman lives. The claim for
the colors and the name was lodged with
the Jockey club on behalf of Pierre Lor-
lizard last week by one of the best-known
followers of the turf and the claim was
allowed.
This effectually disposes Of the report
that Mrs. Lillian Barnes Allen, to whom
Mr.. Lorillard left Rancocas farm, at Jobs
town, together with the stock thereon and
all his horses in training, had laid claim
to the Lorillard colors and the name, Ran
cocas Stable, and would race under that
name and in those colors. If Mrs. Allen,
or Miss Barnes, as she may happen to be,
races Mr. Lorillard's horses her jockeys
will have to sport other silk and she may
not use the name Rancocas in connection
with any venture she may make on the
turf. She may breed horses at Rancocas
Farm and sell them and she may race the
horses of her late benefactor both here and
in England, but if the name of the breed
ing establishment and the racing colors
which the late Pierre Lorillard made
famous on both sides of the ocean are per-
petuated on the turf, it will be by one of
the Lorillard blood.
The claim to the right to use the stable
name and colors in this country does not,
of itself, carry the privilege of using the
same stable name and colors in England,
but young Mr.. Lorillard has already sent
his claim to the English Jockey Club,
which is considered equivalent to the
settlement that the claim will be allowed
as soon as received. 1t may be stated,
however, on what seems to be very excel
lent authority, that young Mr.. Lorillard
has not decided to go in for racing. He
has filed his claims to make sure that a
stranger to the Lorillard family may not
race under the colors or stable name of
his late father, either here or in England.
On the same authority it is stated that
there is little likelihood that Mrs. ALLEN
will come into possession of Rancocas or
race the late Mr. Lorillard's horses any
where under any name The person who
gave this information to the New York
San said:
'sThe reports regarding Mrs. ALIENS
fortune have been grossly exaggerated.
She is a well-to-do woman, but it will take
much more money than she commands to
maintain Rancocas Farm and the late Mr..
Lorillard's racing stables. The Lorillard
family is able to maintain both, and, un-
less negotiations now pending fall through,
the farm and the horses will pass into the
possession of the Lorillards. Young Pierre
Lorillard has not decided yet to go in for
racing, but if he does so he has a name
and colors under which he may race.
That's all there is to it. .
Most Of the late Pierre Lorillard's
thoroughbreds in training are in Eng
land and the English turf authorities
are practically agreed that David Gar
rick, four-year- by Hanover out
of Peg Wellington, which Mr. Lor-
lizard bought of John E. Madden, is
the best race horse in England. Mr.. Lor-
lizard shortly before he died said of Gar
rick that he was the best horse he ever
owned, except Iroquois, and when his
racing days were over he intended to place
him for season in the stud in England.
The horses which Mr.. Lorillard had in
training in this country are all twoyear-
olds and none of them has yet shown
much quality There are about half a
dozen Of them in all and they are in the
stables of Jack Joyner, who trains for
Perry Belmont. Ruff, named for the
editor of the English Racing Guide, is
the only one of the Lorillard horses to
start this year here, and he has not yet
won race.
Arrangements have been made by
which Mrs ALLEN will relinquish all
claim to the Jobstown farm. Negotiations
to this end have been in progress for over
week, and were settled on Saturday. The
terms have not been made public, but Mrs.
ALLEN probably received large sum. A
gentleman who is said to have been in
strumental in bringing about the present
state of affairs, says:
1.-The matter was settled several days
ago, but nothing was put down in black
and white until Saturday. Mrs ALLEN
has been bought off and Rancocas will be
a Lorillard institution in the future as it
has been in the past The affair was an
unpleasant matter to adjust, but every
body is satisfied and it will soon be for
gotten / think you will see the Loril-
lard colors on American race courses with
marked regularity in the future. The
breeding establishment at Rancocas will
be heard from. Mr.. Lorillard's racing
interests abroad will not be neglected
either
