The Uf o of Pierre Lorlllard, tho well known horse breeder and turfman, has been a remarkable one. He Inherited from his father, together with his four brothers, A large fortune and one of the blgtfest tobiioco manufactories In tho United States, says the New York Press. He finally bought' from his brothers their shares la the tobacco business and managed the business himself until a few years ago, when he retired. He married Miss Emily Tay lor, who was a celebrated beauty. Mr. Lorlllard was at one time an enthusiastic yachtsman and owned some of the fastest pleasure craft afloat. Including . the schooner Testa, one of a trio that, raced from Sandy Hook to Cowes for a sweepstakes of $10,000. He afterward built the steam yacht Radha. His next move was In raising horses, and he has been very successful on the turf. In 1881 Mr. Lorillard won the Derby with Iroquois. His horse Parole, after beating almost all the horses in this country, was sent to England shortly before Iroquois won the Derby and won many Important race9. Seven years after this Mr. Lorillard announc ed that he was going to build a minia ture garden of Eden on almost desolate land amid the Ramapo hills, and he was , laughed at. But his persistency won, and that desolate piece of land is now Tuxedo. Some years ago Mr. Lorlllard's phy sicians told him that he must be out in the open air as much as possible if he wanted to keep well. While it was summer In the north and the racing season was in full blast Mr. Lorlllard found no difficulty In obeying the doc tor's orders. But during winter it was a different thing.. The little houseboats on which excursionists ply the Thames suggested to his mind that a craft of that kind, built on a larger scale and provided with the comforts of home would be just the thing for him. Ac cordingly he drew up a rough sketch of what be wanted, handed it over to a skilled draftsman, and a firm In Wil mington, Del., built the craft. The vessel was simply a double deck ed affair, . the apartments of which were considerably more spacious and higher than the cabins in the ordinary steamer. The steel hull and the entire exterior were painted white. The first story was taken up with the engine,' the kitchen and the apartments for the officers and crew, besides holding two spare rooms for emergency. Including the roomy messroom there were nine apartments on this deck. Just forward of the engine room there was a big ice bouse with a capacity for five tons of Ice. The decorations and appointments of the second, or upper, story, which were arranged by the owner a,-t living apart ments for himself and bis guests, were very fine. A neat balcony running en tirely around this deck inclosed a dining room and pantry, four bed rooms, each with bathroom attach ments, and a roomy parlor. The dining saloon, the largest room In the suit, situated aft, was decorated In gold and white colors, silk tapestry of this hue covering the walls, and the tables, sideboard and chairs being of the same hue, brass being also freely j used in their decoration. A handsome ! velvet tapestry carpet of a color to ' match the surroundings covered the ' floor of this room, as well as of all the i others. A pantry running the entire ! width of the vessel was attached to the dining room. The four bedrooms were placed at the side of the vessel, between the dining room and parlor. The furni ture in these rooms was also In white and gold, with brass decorations. : The bedsteads were entirely of solid brass. Each of the walls of the bed rooms were decorated in different col ored silk tapestry, old rose, blue, green and pink being the prevailing tints. Mirrors were freely used in the sleep ing apartments, placed in the ward robes and stands, having the effect of apparently doubling the size of the rooms. The bathrooms were luxurious and contained spacious porcelain tubs. The entire suit of rooms was warmed with highly decorated heaters and was Illuminated with wax candles inserted In silver receptacles placed along the walls. A floating stable Intended as an an nex to his houseboat was also built for Ir. Lorlllard. It was a queer looking craft Indeed, some 77 feet long and 15 feet broad, with a long deck structure, to be used as a carriage bouse. There were four regularly built box stalls under the'deck for as many horses, and the passage between them could be utilized when needful for two more, so that six horses in all were provided for. There was a cowhouse. In which two or three cows could easily be carried four at a pinch. Up stairs in the deck structure. In addition to the carriage house, was a little harness room, where half a dozen doga could be comfort ably housed. There was a large compartment for hay and feed, and fresh water was car ried In two large tanks, holding 150 gallons each. " There were berths for eight men In the floating stable, four above deck and four below, near the lire stock. The floating stable cost $7,000.

Mr. S. expresses a willingness to play a correspondence game against the entire Lincoln chess club in con sultation, he playing white, and the club to begin with black's 11th move. His address is G. Sllberberg, 4329 Berkeley avenue, Chicago. ,5 Owing to the difficulty in sending prompt replies where an entire club consults, MY. Chris Sommer, of the Freie Presse staff, Lincoln, will endeavor to up hold the honor of Lincoln and test the soundness of the Silberberg gam bit. If Mr. S. would have the time to playseveral correspondence games, I can give him the following oppo nents: JMr. R. Myerson, 56 "Winthrop St., New Britain, Conn., who plays 11 , Q K 2; Mr. R. E. Brega, Callaway, Neb., who plays 11 , Q K sq; Mr. E. E.

Iowa chess players mourn the loss of Louis Weinstein, whose death oc curred last week. For many years he was one of the Burlington Hawkeye's efficient editorial staff, and through his efforts a chess column was started in the Hawkeye. During the. past ten years he had been confined to his chair by locomotor ataxia.4 At the Iowa chess meeting, Tama, July 4 and 5, Carl C. Marshall of Cedar Rapids was elected president; Charles H. Harmer, of the same "city, secretary-treasurer; and C. J. Wonser of Tama, vice president. Fifteen play ers entered for the championship, playing in three sections. In the first section, Bro. Jacobs came out with a clean score; second section, W. E. Fowler of Tama cleaned the platter; and In the third, H. A. Knepper of Grinnell won every game. Then came the tug of war. Knepper and Jacobs were a tie for first place, but the former, being unable to stay and play off the tie, yielded first to the Hawk eye chess editor, taking second him self and leaving Fowler third. American Chess World for June reached this office about the last of the month. Owing to dearth of chess news and the hot weather this num ber is reduced to 16 pages.

But he did not seem to know, how to go about to win the game. An obvious and rather tempting opportunity to "bang away by 12. PxP and see what will come of it," seduced him from the straight path of strategic accuracy; but this bit of major tactics fell flat and Showalter later much Improved-a situation which, seemingly, would have been helpless had white merely reinforced his front with the king's wing en appui by 12.
