There is hope today. Elizabeth Reilley, collector, scholar of horticulture; 99 By Margalit Fox NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE NEW YORK Elizabeth Kals Reilley, a horticultural librarian, scholar, and book collector who amassed a major private collection of rare books on landscape design, died March 29 at her home in Muttontown. She was 99.

Her death was announced by the New York Botanical Garden, to which in 2002 Mrs. Reilley donated her collection, consisting of more than 400 books, prints, engravings, and other materials. The Elizabeth K. Reilley Collection focuses on the history of European landscape and garden design from the 16th to the 19th centuries. Among its treasures are a 17th-century etching of a banquet in the rather spacious Medici family treehouse and diagrams of the Versailles gardens that include the layout of the kitchen plot, arranged by Louis XIV's "director general of the fruit and vegetable gardens." The collection was the centerpiece of the exhibition "European Pleasure Gardens," held at the botanical garden in 2003.

Writing in The New York Times that year, Grace Glueck described Mrs. Reilley's collection as "brilliant" and the exhibition as "one to delight true garden freaks as well as lovers of books and prints." Mrs. Reilley was also involved for many years with Planting Fields Arboretum State Historic Park in Oyster Bay on Long Island, not far from her home in Muttontown. In 1969, she began organizing a horticultural library at the arboretum; it opened in 1975. Mrs.

Reilley was its resident librarian until 2001, when she retired at 93. Last year, on her 99th birthday, the library's reading room was named for her. Elizabeth Kals was born in Vienna on Sept. 8, 1907, into a charmed society. Her parents, she would later say, had "the nicest apartment in Vienna." (Mrs.

Reilley was not bragging, but simply stating a fact.) She was raised by governesses and educated tutors and became an accomplished horseback rider. Her passion for remarkable gardens was forged in childhood, though she did not realize it at first. Only when Mrs. Reilley was an adult, returning to Austria after a long, well-timed absence, did it strike her that the pretty flowerbeds in which her governesses had taken her to play and the great imperial gardens of turn-ofthe-century Vienna were one and the same. As a young woman, she studied painting at Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris and afterward studied archeology at the University of Vienna, where she investigated the role of the nomadic horsem*n of Central Asia in spreading culture.

During these years, she also rode as an amateur jockey in European horse races. Mrs. Reilley's first husband was Jewish, and after the Nazis came to power, she helped smuggle him out of Austria. She the same for several other friends. Before long, as she drily said afterward, she was "invited to leave." Arriving in New York in 1939, she took a job as a librarian in a metallurgical plant and later worked as a freelance photographer.

Afterward, she joined the staff of Time magazine, first as a researcher and later as a reporter, and was later a reporter for Fortune magazine. Mrs. Reilley's first two marriages ended in divorce. In 1967, she married Ewing Reilley, a partner in McKinsey a management consulting firm. He died in 1988.

No immediate family members survive. After taking classes in architecture and garden design at Yale, Mrs. Reilley earned a degree in library science from C.W. Post College in 1963. She began her collection in the 1960s, scouring the holdings of rare-book dealers in the United States and Europe.

Ever the meticulous cataloger, Mrs. Reilley identified each species of tree in her own garden with a small green tag. On her death, she said, her property, with its 200-year-old farmhouse, horse barn and grounds thick with hazel, dogwood, locust forsythia, would be given to the Nature Conservancy. As she told Newsday in 2003, "I don't want a Home Depot here." Abigail Holman, 45, Maine legislator ASSOCIATED PRESS CARRABASSETT VALLEY, Maine State Representative Abigail Holman of Fayette, a first-; term legislator who had long a familiar figure in the Stated House, died yesterday in a skiing accident at Sugarloaf USA. Ms.

Holman was participating in an annual fund-raising ski race when the accident occurred, Sugarloaf spokesman Bill Swain said. Ms. Holman, who was 45, was pronounced dead at Sugarloaf's first aid clinic. She had just completed a run and was skiing out of the finish corral when she struck a tree, Swain said. No other skier was in-) volved.

A Republican, Ms. Holman was serving her first term in the House representing District 83. She was a member of the committees on Judiciary, and Legal and Veterans Affairs. Ms. Holman, an attorney, was legal counsel and legislative director for Governor John McKernan during his administration.

Later, as executive director of the Maine Forest Products Council, Ms. Holman advocated for the industry in the State House. She was also ac-: tive in local government. Governor John Baldacci said he had known Ms. Holman since her days in McKernan's administration.

Baldacci called her "a tremendous political force." "She was a dedicated public servant and always worked hard for the people of Maine. Her family is in our hearts and prayers during this terrible time," Baldacci said in a statement yesterday evening. Ms. Holman's life was touched by tragedy in 2005 when her husband, Andrew Weegar, died when he fell from a tractor and became trapped under one of its rear wheels. Weegar, who was 41, was a writer and part-time farmer.

Ms. Holman leaves a daughter. Calvin Lockhart, 72; actor noted for 'matinee idol looks' By Dennis McLellan LOS ANGELES TIMES LOS ANGELES Calvin Lockhart, a strikingly handsome, Bahamian-born actor whose on-screen heyday in the 1970s included prominent roles in "Cotton Comes to Harlem" and "Uptown Saturday Night," has died. He was 72. Mr.

Lockhart died of complications of a stroke March 29 in a hospital in Nassau, Bahamas, said his wife, Jennifer Miles-Lockhart. Described by a New York Times writer in 1970 as having "matinee idol looks," with "chiseled-out-ofmarble features" and "skin the color of brown velvet," Mr. Lockhart had his first starring film role that year in "Halls of Anger," a racially explosive drama in which he played a former basketball English teacher who becomes vice principal in a city high school where 60 white students are being bused in. The same year, he played the smooth-talking artist in "Cotton Comes to Harlem." Mr. Lockhart's first notable screen role had been in "Joanna," the London-set 1968 film starring Genevieve Waite about an interracial romance in which he played Waite's nightclub operator boyfriend.

It was a role that "marked him as a very gifted young man," said Sidney Poitier, who directed Mr. Lockhart in the 1970s comedies "Uptown Saturday Night" and "Let's Do It Again," both of which starred Poitier and Bill Cosby. Mr. Lockhart played underworld characters in both films. "Calvin had wonderful range as an actor," Poitier told the Los Angeles Times.

"He really had such enormous promise. I don't know why he was not more utilized because he was so good. As a matter of fact, he had movie star qualities. He was a very handsome man, his impact on the screen was striking, and his work was highly praised." Among Mr. Lockhart's other film credits in the 1970s are leading roles in "Melinda," "The Beast Must Die," "Honeybaby, Honeybaby," and "The Baron." In addition to Jennifer, his fourth wife, Mr.

Lockhart leaves his mother, Minerva Cooper; his sons, Michael Cooper and Julien Lockhart Miles; his daughter, Shari; his brothers, Carney, Eric, and Phillip Cooper; and his sisters, Melba Styles and Delores Bain..
