LoTllIards Will Pay That Sum
for the Rancocas Farm.
FAMILY SYNDICATE TO OWN IT.
Pierre Lshllard, IT,, Has Already Entered
Into Practical Possession and viii Race
the Horses Under Old CoIsrs

New York. Aug 7.-Society, and partic-
how much Mrs. Lily Barnes Alien will
receive for Rancocas Farm from the
LoriIIards.
The price 10 be paid, according 10
statement made yesterday by close
relative and intimate friend of Mrs.
Allen. is $4,000 or about one and a quar-
ter times more than the property reason
ably would bring IL put up at auction.
While Pierre Loriliard spent not less
than 81 900 geo in developing this wonder
ful stock farm, II is generally realized
that Is is utterly vaiueless for any pur-
pose other than that for which IL was
devised. and that II put up for public
auction II probably would not realize
much more than 100000.
This OF course, does not include either
the elaborate furnishings and works OF
art that adorn the mansion or the live
stock.
Under the will, I'm addition 20 the be-
quest of sRancocas, Mrs. Allen also re-
ceived all OF Mr.. Lorillsrd's race horses
now In England. There is quite a string
OF these animals-anywhere from p TO 90
headed by David Garrick. Their value
exceeds that sum.
T. Suffern Taller, son-in-law of the
dead millionaire, is now in England TO
appraise the stable that an adequate
sum may be rendered 10 Mrs. Alien for
their transfer to Pierre Lorillard. Jr.
incidentally IL Is understood that the
exclusive ownership OF Rancocas will not
vest I'm Pierre Lorillard. Jr, but that a
sort OF syndicate or family trust has been
arranged i'm which ali the members OF
the family have deposited an equal share
with which to buy off Mrs. ALLEN. The
money, however will not be paid until
George +. Perkins, OF Perkins, Goodwin
a. Co, has made his report on the value
of Rancocas and it's contents and T,
Suffern Taller has returned from Eng
land
Meantime Pierre I.orilard. Jr. has
practically entered into possession Of the
farm the legal papers whereby Mrs
ALLEN agreed TO relinquish her inheritance
having been signed on Saturday last.
Jack Joyner. who was the Lorillard train
err already has received notification 10
this effect and now has at Saratoga such
I.or illard horses as are training in this
country for The benefit of Pierre Lorillard,
Jr, who has already registered as his on n
the colors so conspicuously displayed
on the tracks OF America and England
the famous cherry and black-the colors
that won the historic DERBY Tor an Amer
lean bred horse
A conservative estimate made by a
personal friend OF the Lorllards as well
as a close acquaintance OF Mrs. Allen
and the Barnes family places the gifts
made to her by Pierre Lorillard within the
last ten years al little short of sl025, 600
This Is regarded as conservative Cite

rived At southampton Sunday on the

spondent's inquiry respecting the Loril-

hard knew ne intended leaving his horses
add the Rancocas farm TO Mrs. Allen
providing S.000.0oo for his widow and
heirs. The latter are perfectly sa atis6ed
with the will and never had any idea of
