"CHERRY AND BLACK" 



1892 

 In 1892 the stable employed the colored jockey Ham- 

 ilton. Kildeer was still in training, the others being 

 Locohatchee, Julien, Kilkenny, Joy, Vestibule, Yemen, 

 Derfargilla, Johnnie Hecksher, and Lorimer, and the 

 filly Addie by Iroquois was purchased on her Western 

 reputation, but never won a race for the stable. Loco- 

 hatchee ran a tremendous second to Pessara for the 

 Metropolitan, and second to St. Florian for the Bowl- 

 ingbrook. He was unplaced for the Suburban, but won 



the Hackensack, Raritan, Palisade, and 



JVinninp Stakes r- 1 1 1 c ^ 1 tt

 way Handicap, beating a "crack" field in Pessara, 

 Raceland, Russell, and Pickpocket, a mile in 1.37/4- 

 Julien won several races, Vestibule won the Swift 

 Stakes, and Yemen, a younger brother of Himyar, also 

 won races, as did Derfargilla, among them the Eliza- 

 beth Stakes, beating Yorkville Belle.

 the seasons since his return to racing. "I am tired of 

 selling-platers," he said, "I 'd like to have a 'top- 

 sawyer' once more— if I can find one." He had his 

 eye on Lamplighter, the brown son of 

 W^i ^ Spendthrift and Torchlight, in Captain 

 Brown's stable, and on August 9 Lamplighter won the 

 Champion Stakes at Monmouth, beating Banquet,
