Pierre Lorillard [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] IV
(Related [link widoczny dla zalogowanych])Born in Westchester, New York, he was the son of Pierre Lorillard III (1796?1867) and Catherine Griswold. In 1760, his great-grandfather, and namesake, founded P. Lorillard and Company in New York City to process tobacco, cigars, and snuff. ([link widoczny dla zalogowanych]) Today, Lorillard Tobacco Company is the oldest tobacco company in the U.S. Pierre Lorillard married Emily Taylor (b. January 21, 1841) in 1858 with whom he had four children. She was the daughter of Isaac Ebenezer Taylor (b. 1815) and Eliza Mary Mollan Taylor (d. 1867). He is the grandfather of the artist Peter Hill Beard.
([link widoczny dla zalogowanych])In the early 1880s Lorillard helped make Newport, Rhode Island a yachting center with his schooner Vesta and a steam yacht Radha. He owned a summer estate in Newport called "The Breakers" which he sold to Cornelius Vanderbilt II in 1885 in order to use his newly developed estate, the Tuxedo Club,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], at what became known as Tuxedo Park in Orange County, New York. Lorillard had inherited 13,000 acres (53 km2) around Tuxedo Lake which he developed in conjunction with William Waldorf Astor and other wealthy associates into a luxury retreat. Lorillard hired famed architect Bruce Price to design his club house and the many "cottages" of the era along with landscape architect Arthur P. Kroll in 1929. While it has been reported that Lorillard's son, Griswold Lorillard,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], introduced the then-unnamed tuxedo to the United States in 1886 at the Tuxedo Club's Autumn Ball, this is now known to be incorrect. While Griswold and his friends did create a stir by wearing unorthodox clothing, their jackets were closer to tailcoats without tails, or what would now be called a mess jacket.([link widoczny dla zalogowanych])[2]
An avid sportsman, Pierre Lorillard and his brother, George Lyndes Lorillard, were both major figures in thoroughbred horse racing. In 1874, Pierre Lorillard's horse, Saxon, won the Belmont Stakes. Although his horse Parole finished fourth in the 1876 Kentucky Derby,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it went on to race with considerable success both in the United States and in Europe. ([link widoczny dla zalogowanych])In the 19th century, shipping horses from New York to Louisville, Kentucky was a major undertaking and because back then both the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes were both held in the New York City area, neither of the Lorillard brothers raced again in the Derby. Pierre Lorillard established Rancocas Stable, named for the New Jersey town where Lorillard owned a country house. He spent time in Paris and in England where, in 1881, his horse Iroquois became the first American-owned and -bred horse to win a European classic race. Ridden by the champion English jockey,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Fred Archer, Iroquois won the Epsom Derby then went on to capture the St. Leger Stakes as well. Lorillard had other successes in England, notably with the horse named for the actor David Garrick, who won the 1901 Chester Cup ridden by American jockey, Danny Maher.([link widoczny dla zalogowanych])
