''CHERRY AND BLACK" 



was placed In eight others, among his winnings being 

 the Westchester Cup and Manhattan Handicap ; and he 

 was cheered whenever he made an appearance. Bar- 

 rett, who had failed so utterly in England, came home 

 in August, and in October won the Jerome Stakes and 

 several other races. Hiawasse, the little brown daugh- 

 ter of Saxon and Vandalite, defeated Mr. George 

 Lorillard's Memento in a match race which grew out 

 of Mr. Lorillard's fondness for Saxon, the horse which 

 had first carried his colors in 1873. He had stood a lot 

 of chaffing from his brother George, who often de- 

 clared Saxon "was n't worth his oats," until he offered 

 to match the get of Saxon against anything in "Mr. 

 George's" stable. 



During the season Anthony Taylor resigned as the 

 stable's trainer. Matt Byrnes had been head lad with 

 Pincus and later with Taylor. Byrnes was offered the 

 post by Mr. Lorillard on no less than three occasions- 

 something like Cassar being offered the 

 y^^^^ crown— but he had declined, being appalled 

 at the responsibility involved. Finally, Mr. Lorillard 

 said, "You must take it," and Byrnes began at Jerome 

 Park in October, winning four races in one day, and he 

 remained until Mr. Lorillard retired in 1885. 



In 1882 the principal races won by Mr. Lorillard's 

 horses were the Ladies, Mermaid and Monmouth Oaks
