LoR1LLARD.s STABLE.
Deceased Millionaire Was Reticent
Ahout His HOraes and POasenaiona.

About His Horses and POssessiona.
The late Pierre Lorillard was a reticent
man about his racing plans and projects.
He made confidant of no one. Not even his
best friends knew what stock he had at
Rancocas. His employees were sworn to Sc
crecy. No one was admitted within its gates
unless armed with a written order from
that gentleman. If he had a good crop of
2-year-olds or stake horse was fit to race
for some big event only Mr.; Lorillard and
his trainers were aware of II.
A correct list of the horses I. in training sils:
owned by Mr.. Lorillard follows:
In training in England. G. Blackwell
trainer. d. Maher. Jockey.
David Garrick. 4: Mirus. 8: Laus. 3: Pan
totus. 81 Reverb. 3: Exedo. 81 Hamiltar. 8;
f sharsee q rolaef T. Ali ssa Valia.
Eden II. 2: Amoret II, 2: Cornette. 2; Pallas
ner's stable. Iluen. 3-year-old maiden. and
four others that have yet to face the
starter.
The Rancocas stud is presided over by
the stations Sailor Prince. Giganteum and
Locohatchee among others.
There are sixty-five brood mares on the
farm. Among them are such well-known
dams as Saluda. Pandora Golden Valley,
Dial. Joy; Penitence, Hone ". Splinter.
Ffars saipsaton citren PM; Aster Dolores.
fly, Breeze, Harlem and Austriana
In addition to the brood mares there are
forty-eight yearlings and f,fty-fve foals of
1901 on the farm.
1t is stated that Rancocas Farm, owned
by the late Pierre Lorillard, will be sold
to Vanderbilt as. soon as matters connect
ed with the will of the late breeder and
turfman are settled. The farm has been
left to Mrs. Allen. but whether the family
or she will get that splendid property in
the end. it is very probable w. K. Wander
bilt will become its eventual owner.
What gives color to this statement Is the
fact that W. K. Vanderbilt and Pierre Lor-
i Hard were great friends socially and in
business. The former spent good deal of
| time at Rancocas. and six years ago pur-
/ chased sixteen finely bred mares from Lor-
| lizard and shipped them to his Cvanderbilt's 81
| French breeding stud.
| Nine of these mares were by the French
| stallion Mortemer. who. in 1870, during the
| Franco-P russian War. was sent across the
| channel to England to save him from con-
| scription by the Prussians.

New York. July 2S.-The question, (which
is the horse OF the year, comes as resu-
larly az the racing season and once the dis
cuSsion begins. there is no stopping it I'M
til-well. after all the dates on the racing
calendar have been filed. Even then the
question is rarely settled to the satisfaction
of all those interested in its solution. 1t
often happens that the the horse of the
year is two horses. Each has its partisans
and they will argue themselves blue in try
ing to convince the other fellows that their
choice Is the real champion. AT the end of
last year, for instance. the friends of Kin
ley Mack aid the friends of Ethelbert We're
no more willing to agree as To which was
the faster of the two than they were at the
beginning.
The races at Saratoga have yet to be run.
and the fall meetings at Sheepshead Bay,
Gravesend, Morris Park and Aqueduct are
yet open Tor the clearing of titles. Before
the question can be satisfactorily settled,
however, some standards must be estab
lished by which to judge the horse of the
year" What must he achieve in order to
be declared the champion? Shall he be Sc
lected because of his winning few fashion
able stakes from noted company? Or be-
cause. running in all kinds of weather and
in all kinds of company and at all kinds of
distances. he fought his battles as he found
them, and got the money? 1t was by such
a standard that the morse of the year.
was judged in the old days of the American
turf. In the days of Kingfisher and En-
quirer, Of Harry Bassett and Longfeliow

that horse was declared the champion which
picked up his burden. Whatever it might
be, and carried it rrst past the winning post

nents might be or whence they came.
