Evun if n , man is not acquainted with the good "points" of n horse and never puts up his money on n "bou- tailed na r" nt n race , a visit to n famous horao-brooding place is do- cidcdly ititorostitig. About * tlirco miles from thin beautiful summer resort is the summer residence and farm of Ocorgo L. Lorillnrd , Eight hundred acres eompriso the extent of the placo. and a very larjjc portion of the ground is hud out in such a picturesquu man ner as to suggest fairyland itself. What was at ono time only a barren waste hits been made , thanks to the expenditure of a vast sum of money and the employment of the highest skilled labor , to blossom like the rose. It is here that all the famous horses owned by Mr. Lorillard are kept dur ing the greater part of the year. The stable is a largo , low wooden build ing , octagonal in shape , nnd capable of accommodating qbout fifty horses. Each animal has a good-sized apart ment to himself , and the place is kept scrupulously neat. An army of small boys and young men arc employed the year round to care for the stock. The largest of thoflo employes arc "rub bers , " or gnddcns , whoso solo duty consists in rubbing down the horses after they have taken their morning exorcise. In the middle of the large yard , in the center of the building , are several hydrants and pumps und a shower , and hero the horses enjoy their ablutions in the morning. Near ly all the stock owned by this famous horse-breeder has como from Ken tucky. Early in the winter Mr. H. K. Oleott , the assistant horse-trainer employed on the place , goes south and makes purchases of such horses as ho dooms will bo n credit to the Lorillard farm. Much of the present stock has boon bought of General Harden and Sanford A Grinstcad , of Lexington , Ky. , a live ly city about ninety miles south of Cincinnati , and noted the world over for its fine horses. Horses are "broken , " or rather started to bo broken , in the spring when they become yearlings. They are trained until the following full , when they are laid up until spring ; then taken out again and the usual course of training resumed. It is a little singular , but nevertheless true , that blood tells in horses the same as it is said to do in human beings as re gards THEIR I'ECULIAK APTNESS to receive instruction. To break a "plug" .as the stable boys at these farms call all horses outside of racing stock plugs requires maybe a month's time. With the racers it is a very quick matter. They can bo broken , so William Jones , an intelligent col ored lad , informed mo , in the short space of three days. "Doy seem to know " he said " what's ' , , "just 'spooled of 'em , and doy goes right ahead just as nntr'l as a human being would , fact is , a good deal nnturollor dan some. " The first thing done is to put the bridle , ontho horse , turn him loose , and let him got used to the feeling of it. The next thing is to put the sad dle on him and lot him run around for a few hours. Finally , ono of the boys mounts him , and the training begins in g od earnest. It sometimes hap pens that .the horse trains the boy , or "trains" with him the , aa coun try people1 say , for it is no uncommon thing for the youngster to bo thrown. Occasionally a rib is , broken or a leg or an arm wrenched out of place , but such trifling incidents as these are taken as part of the regular business and are not thought much of. Before the boy mounts the horse it should bo said that ho leads the animal around for u short time. But the training of youni ; racing colts , under the most favorable circumstances , is , I am credibly informed , always exciting and very often dangerous. But so export are the youths who make it a business that within a week from the time the horse has had o bridle put on him ho can bo ridden without any trouble by an ordinary horseman. Every morning the horses are taken out in sots to bo exorcised. The first set leaves the stable at C o'clock , the second at 8 o'clock and the third at 10 o'clock. Each sot remains out ubout an hour and a half. The ex ercising boys como from the house of rcfugo on Blackwoll's Island , and are bound out as apprentices. Their ages are from 8 to 14. Tjioro is a regular racing track , a milo long , with a judges' box , where the purchaser of a horse can .sit and have a good view of the horse's movements. t Hero , during the summer , the horses are oxeicisod. Mr , Oleott , the assistant trainer , must ahvuys bo on hand to superintend. As the calvacades pass in review before fore him ho makes such suggestions to the riders as ho deems neces sary , and it is almost needless to say that he is n man thoroughly trained in the business. . When ho was but 8 years old ho rode a race , and probably ho knows as much about horses as a man of his ngo can. He is up every morning during the sum mer at 4 o'clock and in the winter at 5:30. : Exorcising the horses is about the first thing the boys are set to do when they arrive at the farm , After they have served an apprenticeship of five years at this business they aro- given a chance to become horse jockeys , and that , it may bo mentioned , is some thing they look forward to with the utmost interest. Before most of them can enter n r.ico they are obliged to train oil' some of the superfluous flesh to got them down to racing weight. To do this oflcctually and quickly , long walks are taken every day , and the diet , is carefully looked after. Toast , collco , crackers and the best broiled beefsteak are the favorite edi bles in the bill of faro. In old times jockeys used to literally starve ofi'thoir extra fat , but more liborul notions as to eating prevail at the pres ent timo. Many of the youth got rid of many pounds in the regular exer cising of the horses , Homo have com menced weighing ono hundred and twenty pounds , and in a few weeks beoni reduced to ono hundred and seven .Sometimes this training is overdone. The only time that trainer Oleott % I > B sick in his lifo was when ho was boy , trying to reduce him self bjtow ono hundred and throe , and at that time ho had an attack 01 brain fovor. in consequence of his un usual cllbrrf. Some gossip about a few of the jockeys who acquired some reputation may not bo uninteresting. Tom Costullo is n more youth , nnd wns taken from ( ho houao of refuge. The first race ho rode he made $7,000 , and ho is said to bo worth to-dny S(0- ( 000 , which ho 1ms "salted down" in good sccmitics. The regular price paid to jockeys for riding'a horao is Si-'u if they win and $10 if they Jose. Hut if they happen to win there ia no telling what their fwnings will bpfor the owner of the horse nlmost invariably makes the rider a present of a considerable sum ranging nil the vay from $100 to $2,000. In the case of Costcllo , last season ho rode The King at Saratoga. Ono gen tleman who wns backing the horse heavily oil'ored him $500 if he would ride him , whether ho won or lost. If ho won ho wns to got $1,500. Costllo won , nnd so received for n few minutes' work , what is the yearly salary of many a clerk in Brooklyn or K ow York , ilu is but 15 years of ngo , nnd is very quiet in his habits Larry Ural is 14 years old. Ho is the best light weight jockey there is. This past season ho has done well , and has ridden more light weight horses thnn any other jockey at the various meetings. Matt Connor is nlso 14 years of age. nnd has been on 'the Lurillard farm since ho was 0 years old. Lately ho has boon nt the Shoepshcad course , and hits been successful. Charley O'Leary is a light weight who can ride at seventy-live or eighty pounds. Ho is only twelve years of ngc , nnd has won porno very good races this season. All lovers of. racing will bo glad to look over this list of the best known of Mr. George.LoriUard's horses with in the past few years , and notice the statement of their total winnings. Tom Ochiltroo , the stallion , now 0 years old , is serving nt present , During - , ing the last year or two ho has boon lame. His totnl winnings have been § 40,795. N Duke of Mngcnta has been sold to Pierre Lorillard , nnd is now at the lattor's breeding farm at Jobstown , Now Jersey. Winnings , $50,350. Monitor has boon nt Coney Island.

Ho has won ono race , and now has n bad leg. "Winnings , $1,215. Sir Hugh has won throe races and earned $3,175. This season ho has been in Baltimore , Jerome Park , Sar atoga , Coney Island , Long Branch , back to Coney Island again , where ho has been lately. f'erida has won twelve races and earned $28,072. She won the great four-milo race nt Coney Island last year , and would have run it this year were it not for her lameness. Topsy , a mare , has boon sold and was lately at Brighton Beach. She has won $800 in a dash race. At the time I wits nt the farm I saw a set of seven two-year-olds being ex ercised by the boys. The youths were mostly whites ; there were , I believe - liove , three colored boys among them. They wore dreasod in a motley manner. Take thorn as a whole , the horses , who were long-bodied , thiri'limbcd , bright-eyed , and whoso hide's were as smooth ns velvet , looked better than the boys. Ono of those two-year-olds was n brother to Bertha nnd cost 81,200. A brother to Monitor cost $4,100. A half-brother to Spendthrift cost 82- 700. A half-brothor to the Duke of Mngontacost $2,000. All these horses will bo put on the track next spring. Too Old to be Kissed- St..I/ouls KepuLllcan. Having climbed the stoop incline to Justice B. P. Tanflb's court yesterday afternoon , an nged couple stood upon the threshold , half hesitatingly , half afraid to cross it. They looked in ono another's eyes and then again to the floor , and said never a word until Frank McMunus , looking up from the assault atid battery warrant ho was writing out , aaid : "Well ? " The old lady hung her head , one hand twitching nt the fringing of her Hack and the other ono clasped in that of the old man. Fpr a while she said nothing , but then looking up half way at the face of her companion , who blushed , she said , "Please , sir , wo would like to bo " She stopped. "Married , " said the old man sharply , as though ho wanted to cot rid of the word without his knowing it , "Tnko n chair1 ' taid Mac , They took n chair nnd ttio Adonis of Bt. Louts justices of the peace was called in. With an oxquteitoly graceful gesture the justice smoothed his goatoo'nnd got the bonk und told the aged couple to stand up. They stood up , both of thorn. Their browa were somewhat wrinkled ; their checks , too. There wera silver fitriiiKs through their black hair. They clasped hundu while the jttatico read on in a Holomn , dignified way , and they answered taoso awful questions in a husky voice : "Fgrasmuch aa ' Adam Soifel and Margaret Bachmau have pledged their troth in holy wedlock , I pronounce that they nro mini and wife. Kiss your bride , sir ! " said the justice. The old man turned about and * gazed into the face of his wife. Ilia ana ho placed around her neck and lower and lower his face wont down towards hors until thoyulmost touched. She , however , throw back her head and Hlnwly unloosed her husband's arm. Shn draw uwayfrom him , threw up her hands and lot them full with a flop to her side , and with a loud laugh Hha Baidi "That is nil nonsense , I am too old to bo kissed. " "Why the marriaijo aint complete without the kiss. " suggested Mao. "Now it aint , ejaculated the hus band. "Como on ; lot mo kiss you , " She BiniU'd oilco moro and leaned towards her spouse half reluctantly , Ho loaned toward her. His arm wont around her neck , nnd his head bout slowly down until there came an oscular report which shook the room. She looked up and her looks Raid that she was not too old to bo kissed. They wontnway happy. AN INDIAN DUEL. The Chief of the Chootnwn Kills His Mim nnd follow ! iu n row Days. A telegram from Little Hock , Ark. , says that the celebrated Choctnw chief Carpenter is dead. Thn report comes via Fort Smitli ) Ark. The cause of his demise in attributed to wound.i re ceived in n duel fought by Cnrponter BOino weeks since with Colonel J. T. Price , near the Pine Creek Indian agency. The details of the duel are the strangest on record. The two got into n quarrel about some trivial mat ter , when Price called Cnrpontor n liar. Whereupon thechiof responded : "Your blood shall wash out this in sult.
