I'm afraid I didn't have time to head down to Richmond and look through the Dispatch's archives for that May 25, 1890 article.

I have no answer for any of the parts of this question.

Edit - Since the saddle was owned at different times by the Duke of Chartres and by Louis Philippe, both will be accepted as correct answers to the second part of the question.
