DAVIS, WEBSTER SNYDER, Late Land Cow'r U.P, B, ., e A HEAVEN FOR HORSES, How Lorillard's Flyers are Cared for and Educated. From the Brooklyn Eagle. Isuir, Loxa Istaxn, September 23, —~Even if a man is not acquainted with the good ‘“‘points” of a horse and never puts up his money on a ‘‘bob- tailed nag” at a race, a visit to a famous horse-breeding place is de- cidedly interesting. Abouts three miles from this beautiful saummer resort is the summer residence and farm of | Georgo L. Lorillard, Kight hundred acres compriso the extent of the place, and a very large portion of the ground is lid out in such a picturesquo man- ner as to suggest fairyland itself, What was at one time only a barren waste has been made, thanks to the expenditure of a vast sum of money and the employment of the highest skilled labor, to blossom like the rose. 1t is here that all the famous horses owned by Mr. Lorillard are kept dur- ing the greater part of the year. The stable is a large, low wooden build- ing, octagonal in shape, and capable of accommodating about fifty horses. Each animal has a good-sized apart- ment to himself, and the place is kept scrupulously neat. An army of small boys and young men are employed the year round to care for the stock. The largest of these employes are ‘‘rub- bers,” or guddens, whose sole duty consists in rubbing down the horses after they have taken their morning exercise. In the middle of the large yard, in the center of the building, are several hydrants and pumps and a shower, and here the horses enjoy their ablutions in the morning. Near- ly all the stock owned by this famous horse-breeder has come from Ken- tucky. Early in the winter Mr. H. K. Olcott, the assistant horse-trainer employed on the place, goes south and makes purchases of such horses us he deems will be a credit to the Lorillard farm, Much of the present stock has been bought of General Harden and Sanford & Grinstead, of Lexington, Ky., a live- ly city about ninety miles south of Cincinnati, and noted the world over forits fine horses, Horses are ‘“‘broken,” or rather started to be broken, %in the spring when they become yearlings. They are trained until the following fall, when they are laid up until spring; then taken out again and the usual course of training resumed. It is a little singular, but nevertheless true, that blood tells in horses the same as it is said to do in human beings as re- gards THEIR PECULIAR APTNESS to receive instruction. To break a “plug”—as the stable boys at these farms call all horses outside of racing stock plugs—requires maybe a month’s time. With the racers it is a very quick matter. They can be broken, so William Jones, an intelligent col- ored lad, informed me, in the short space of three days. ‘‘Dey seem to know,” he said, ‘‘just what's ’spected of ’em, and dey goes right ahead just as natr’l as a human being would, fact i8, a good deal natureller dan some.” ‘I'he tirst thing done is to put the bridle on.the horse, turn him loose, and let him get used to the feeling of it. The next thing is to put the sad- dle on him and let him run around for a few hours. Finally, one of the boys mounts him, and the training begins in g od earnest. It sometinies hap- pens that the horse trains the boy, or “trains” with him, as the coun- try people: say, for it is no uncommon thing for the youngster to be thrown. Occasionally a rib is broken or a leg or an arm wrenched out of place, but such trifling incidents as these are taken as part of the regular business and are not thought much of. Before the boy mounts the horse it should be said that he leads the animal around for a short time., But the traimng of young racing colts, under the most favorable circumstances, is, I am credibly informed, always exciting and very often dangerous, But so expert are the youths who make ita business that within a week from the time the horse has had » bridle put on him he can be ridden without any trouble by an ordinary horseman. Every morning the horses are taken out in gets to be exercised. The first set leaves the stable at 5 o'clock, the second at 8 o’clock and the third at 10 o'clock. Each set remamns out about an hour and a half, The ex- ercising boys come from the house of refuge on Blackwell’s Island, and are bound out as apprentices. Their ages are from 8 to 14, There is a regular racing track, a mle long, with a judges’ box, where the purchaser of a horse can sit and have a geod view of the horse’s movements, = Here, during the summer, the horses are exercised. Mr., Oleott, the assistant trnflner, must, always be on haud to superintend. As the calvacades pass in review be- fore him he makes such suggestions to the riders as he deems neces- sary, and it is almost needless to say that heis a man thoroughly trained in the business. . When he was but 8 years old he rode a race, and probably he knows as much about horses as a man of his age can. He is up every morning during the sum- mer at 4 o'clock and inthe winter at 5:30, Exercising the horses is about the firat thing the boys are set to do when they arrive at the farm. After they have served an apprenticeship of five years at this business they are given a chance to become horse Jjockeys, and that, it may be mentioned, is some- thing they look forward to with the utmost interest. Before most of them can enter a race they are obliged to train off some of the superfluous flesh to get them down to racing weight. To do this effectually and quic{ly. long walks ave taken every day, and the diet, is carefully looked after. Toast, ceffee, crackers and the best broiled beefsteak are the favorite edi- bles in the bill of fare. 1n old times jockeys used to literally starve offtheir extra fat, but more liberal notions as to eating prevail' at the pres- ent time. ny of the youth get rid of many pounds in the regular exer- cising of the horses, Some have com- menced weighing one hundred and twenty pounds, and in a few weeks been reduced to one hundred and seven, Sometimes this training is|- overdoie. The only time that trainer Olcott Was sick in his lifo was when he was @ boy, trying to reduce him- self bolew one hundred and three, and at that time he had an attack of brain fever, in consequence of his un- usual efforf®. Some gossip about a few of the i jockeys who acquired some reputation may not be uninteresting. Tom Costello is a mere youth, and was taken from the house of refuge. The first race he rode he made £7,000, and he is said to be worth to-day 830,- 000, which he has ‘“‘salted down” in good securities. The regular price paid to jockeys for riding a horse is §20 if they win and 810 if they,lose. But if they happen to win there is no telling what their earnings will be, for the owner of the horse almost invariably makes Lthe rider a present of a considerable sum—ranging -all the way from $100 to 2,000, In the case of ‘ostello, last season he rode The Kingat Saratoga. One gen- tleman who was backing the lorse heavily offered him £500 if he would ride flim, whether he won or lost. If he won he was to get 81,500, Costllo won, and so received fora few minutes’ work, what is the yearly salary of many a clerk in Brooklyn or New York. Ho is but 15 years of age, and is very quiet in his habits Larry Ural is 14 years old, He is the best light weight jockey there is, This past season he has done well, and has ridden more light weight horses than any other jockey at the various meetings. Matt Connor is also 14 years of age. and has been on ‘the Lorillard farm since he was 6 years old. Lately he has been at the Sheepshead course, and has been successful. Charley O'Leary is a light weight who can ride at seventy-five or eighty pounds, Heis only twelve years of age, and has won some very good races this season. All lovers of racing will be glad to look over this list of the best known of Mr. George Lorillard’s horses with- in the past few years, and notice the statement of their total winnings. Tom_Ochiltree, the stallion, now 9 yeaus old, is serving at present, Dur- ing the last year or two he has been lame. His total winnings haye been 846,795, # Duke of Magenta has been sold to Pierre Lorillard, and 18 now at the latter's breeding farm at Jobstown, New Jersey. Winnings, §56,350.

This season he has been in Baltimore, Jerome Park, Sar- atoga, Coney Island, Long Branch, back to Coney Island again, where he has been lately. Ferida has ‘won twelve races and earned $28,672. She won the great four-mile race at Coney Island last year, and would have run it this year were it not for her lameness. Topsy, a mare, has been sold and was lately at Brighton Beach., She has won $800 in a dash race. At the time I was at the farm Isaw a set of seven two-year-olds being ex- ercised by the boys. The youths were mostly whites; there were, I be- lieve, three colored boys among them. They were dressed in a motley manner. Take them as a whole, the horses, who were long-bodied, thin<limbed, bright-eyed, and whose hides were as smooth as velvet, looked better than the boys. One of these two-year-olds was a brother to Bertha and cost 81,200, A brother to Monitor cost $4,100. A half-brother to Spendthrift cost $2,- 700. A half-brother to the Duke of Magentacost §2,000. All these horses will be put on the track next spring. —— Too Old to be Kissed. St.. Louis Republican. Having climbed the steep incline to Justice B. P. Taaffe’s court yesterday afternoon, an aged couple stood upon the threshold, half hesitatingly, half afraid to cross it. They looked in one another’s eyes and then again to the floor, and said never a word until Frank McManus, looking up from the assault and battery warrant he was writing out, said: ‘“Well?” The old lady hung her head, one hand twitching at the fringing of her sack and the other one chuq)e& in that of the old man. For a while she said nothing, but then looking up half way at the face of her companion, who blushed, she said, ‘‘Please, sir, we would like to be—"' She stopped. “Married,” said the old man sharply, as though he wanted to get rid of the word without his knowing it, “Take a chair,” raid Mac, They took a chair and the Adonis of St. Louis justices of the peace was called in, ith an exquisitely graceful gesture the justice smoothed his goatee'and got the book and told the aged couple to stand up. They stood up, both of them. Their brows were somewhat wrinkled; their cheeks, too, There were silver strings through their black hair. They clasped hands while the jdstice read on in a solemn, dignified ‘way, and they answered taose awful questions in a husky voice: “‘Forasmuch as Adaw Seifel and Margaret Bachman have pledged their troth in holy wedlock, & pronounce that they are man and wife. Kiss your bride, sir!" said the justice. The old man turned about and gazed into the face of his wife, His arm he placed around her neck and lower and lower his face went down towards hers until theyalmost touched. She, however, threw back her head and slowly unloosed her husband’s arm, She drew away from him, threw up her hands and let them fall with a flop to her side, and with a loud laugh she said: ““That is all nonsense, I am too old to be kissed.” ‘“Why the marriage aint complete without the kiss,” suggested Mac. “‘Now it aint,” ejaculated the hus- band. “Come_on; let me kiss you,” She smiled ofice more and leaned He ran at Win- towards her spouse half reluctantly, He leaned toward her. His arm went around her neck, and his head bent slowly down until there came an Indian associates, as well as the more oscular report which shook the room. She looked up and her looks said that she was not too old to be kissed. They went away happy. AN INDIAN DUEL. The Chief of the Chootaws Kills His Man and follows in a Few Days. A telogram from Little Rock, Ark., says that the celebrated Choctaw chief Carpentor is dead. The roport comea via Fort Smith, Ark. The cause of his demise is attributed to wounds re ceived in a duel fought by Carpenter some weeks sinco with Colonel J, T\ Price, near the Pine Creek Indian agency. The details of the duel are the strangest onrecord. The two got into a quarrel about some trivial mat- ter, when Price callod Carpenter a liar. Whercupon thechief responded: “Your blood shall wash out this in- sult.” Price answered fiercely: ‘““My blood is yours when you have power to take it.” Price offered to fight it out then and there, but the chief refused, saying coldly: Tcet me at this spot to-morrow.” “When?” Price asked. ‘“When the sun shines above the top of yon tree,” responded Carpen- ter, pointing to a plum tree as ho spoke. *‘At that hour stand here and you will see me.” They separated. The report of the quarrel and the intended duel spread far and wide, and by sunwmse the succeeding morning a large crowd had gathered upon the spot to witness the strange scene. Price arrived first on the tield. Ho was quickly followed by Carpenter, who appeared just as the sun rose above the treetops and illuminated the open space upon which stood. Both men drew their pistol. Not a word was spoken. Raimng their weapons, they both fired almost sim- ultaneotisly.” Carpenter reeled, but rallying, they both fired again. ~ This time Price dropped dead in his tracks. The crowd pressed forward wild u wild shout. As they did so the chief fell on the ground sense- less. A bullet had entered his breast; blood gushed from his mouth, and he was thought to be dying. Price had been shot through the heart. The chief had the benefit of high medical skill and recovered. If his death, as reported, bo true, he has also fullen a victim to his enemy. - The annals of the Indian nation contain no more ex- treordinary event than this duel. Chief Carpenter was a splendid specimen of Indian manhood. He was tall and straight and comely. He was well cducutmfnnd possessed nat- ural talents which placed him head and shoulders above nearly all of his Price cultured white man beyond uhe bor- der. b ‘Worthless Stuff: Not so fast my friend; 1f you could see the strong, healthy, blooming men, women and children that have been raised from beds of sickness, suffering and almost death, by the use of Hop Bitters, you would say, “Glorious and invaluable remedy.” ——— SPOOPENDYKE'S ILLNESS. Opinions on Doctors and Gruel== An Unfortunate Accident. Brooklyn Eagle. “How long is it since I've been out of this measly old barracks?’ asked Mr. Spoopendyke, turning painfully in his bed and gazing in a vague, half- dazed way toward a long line of anti- dotes on the mantel. “About two weeks, dear,” said Mrs. Spoopendyke, coming toward him with a bowl of gruel and smiling pleasantly. -“The doctor says youare not likely to have another attack if you keep very quiet and follow his in- structions.” “‘Oh, he does, does he?’ said Mr. Spoopendyke, making a vain effort to sit up, and falling back with a groan. ““He says I won't have another at- tack. Now, what do you supposethat dod gasted, bald pated pill roller knows about my case, anyway? Per- haps you think he could make an Egyptian mummy dance a Highland fling and put life into a cigar sign. All he needs is three bulleting a day and unlimited chin to become one of the leading physicians of the country., I suppose if I take.all that stuff up there 1 shall be born again and see the next centennial. What - does that bone- sawing, blistering old ape know about the future, anyway? How can he tell whether I'll have another attack or not? Perhaps he will tell the name of your next husband, and the color or his hair for fifty cents, Perhaps he is a dod gasted spiritualist, What's that!” ““Giruel,” said Mrs. Spoopendyke. ““Giruel, always gruel,” said Mr, Spoopendyke, turning his face to the wall, **Do you imagine I'm a Shelter- ing Arms and St. John's Guild excur- sion thrown into one? Why don’t you tie a bib around my neck, get me a rubber to chew on and put a rattle in my hand?" “‘But the doctors say you must not eat solid food just at pres—'" “Oh, T am not to eat solid food,” said Mr. Spoopendyke, kicking viciously at the footboard. “A diet of cannon balls and scrap iron won't agree with me.
