"CHERRY AND BLACK" 



In the course of the season of 1884, Mr. Lorlllard 

 took his son Mr. N. G. Lorlllard as a partner in order 

 to protect his stake engagements from being void in the 

 event of his death, as under racing rules "rights and 

 liabilities attach to the survivor." During the season 

 the stable started in 181 races and won 39, with 38 

 seconds, was 25 times third, and the winnings amounted 

 to $84,202. The progeny of Mortemer won 21 races, 

 and $49,500 in stakes and purses. 



William Hayward, while never under contract to 

 Mr. Lorillard, frequently rode for him, and was prob- 

 ably the most artistic jockey that has ever appeared in 

 this country. He was born at Northampton, England, 

 In 1844, and first attracted attention as a jockey In Mr. 

 Merry's stable by winning the Stand Plate at Ascot on 

 Buckstone in 1861, when he rode at 89 lbs. He came 

 to America for the late Mr. M. H. Sanford in 1867, 

 and his superb finish when he won the Westchester Cup 

 of that year on Loadstone, beating Charles 

 TT 1 Littlefield on Onward by a neck, created a 



sensation. It was the first time the art of 

 "niggling" was shown In America, where It became 

 known as the "Newmarket roll." His finish winning the 

 Saratoga Cup of 1868 on Lancaster was another con- 

 spicuous demonstration of his ability, as was his West- 

 chester Cup of 1 87 1, when he won with Preakness, 

 beating Glenelg and Helmbold. He acquired a name 

 for a "waiting race" and bringing a horse home by a
