"CHERRY AND BLACK" 



nella, the greatest of all English brood-mares. Glen- 

 lyon had sired Falmouth in England, and was thus a 

 tried horse. The season of 1879 found Saxon and 

 Glenlyon the reigning monarchs at Rancocas. The 

 Saxons were much the type of their sire, 

 whole-colored browns, seldom tall, but 

 stocky. Hiawasse and Gerald were his best filly and 

 colt, and Gerald was the largest colt he ever sired, a 

 grand galloper and a very high-class colt all around. 

 Hiawasse was small, but as game a bit of horseflesh as 

 ever bore the cherry jacket. 



Glenlyon was doomed for a short sojourn at Ran- 

 cocas. He served only two seasons (1879 and 1880) 

 and w^as only a partial success. The best of his get 



were Battledore and Gonfalon. Moccasin 



The Glenlyons . , i 1 • 11 1 



came mto the stud, bemg unable to stand 



training. He was a bay colt purchased by Mr. Loril- 

 lard in England as a yearling in 1875, and was a son of 

 Macaroni from Madame Straus by King Tom. With 

 limited chances, he sired a grand filly in Amazon, win- 

 ner of the Vestal Stakes of 1882, also Disdain, Vam- 

 pire, Cerise, Gossamer, etc. 



The death of Glenlyon in the summer of 1880 found 

 Mr. Lorillard in quest of another stallion, and, hearing 

 that the celebrated French horse Mortemer could be 

 had, secured him for $25,000. Mr. Moon, represent- 

 ing the Queen's stud, had also heard, and hastened 

 across the Channel to buy "the mighty Frenchman,"
