Empire City Arranges Double
Feature in Honor of Red
Cross Day

The stable Of Major Thomas Clay
Mcdowell. Of Lexington, whose thor
oughbred breeding stud is domiciled at
Ashland, the Seat of his great grand
father, Henry Clay, has arrived at
Saratoga.
st. Augustine, Plum Olivewood,
American Eagle, Precious, Manager
Waite and other horses that won fame
in Kentucky-at Latona, Lexington
and Louisville--under the Mcdowell
silks are being freshened up for the
impending summer meeting of the
Saratoga Association. Major Mcdowell
has strong potentia! candidates for the
Saratoga Handicap, the $1,000 gallop at
one mile and a quarter for three-year-
olds and over, which will serve as
feature of next Thursdays opening day
card, in the fillies Plum and Olivewood,
both three year-olds and both daugh-
ters of The Manager. These fllies do
not find themselves in an unfamiliar
environment at Saratoga. They were
at the top of their form there last
summer, when Plum won two races and
Olivewood two, the last being the
Spinaway, in which she defeated En-
filade, Rosie O'Grady, Atalanta, Gold
Tassel, Empress and others.
Plum is winner this year. Olive
wood did not train satisfactorily early
in the season, but she has been going
cleverly for six or seven weeks and is
about ready for first rate effort.
American Eagle and St. Augustine, sons
of The Manager, both raced success
fully at Louisville and Latonia and
they have arrived at Saratoga in ex-
cellent condition. st. Augustine is in
the Seneca, Catskill, Mohawk and Ans
terdam stakes. American Eagle has no
special engagements.
With Major McDowell's racing stable
there arrived the yearlings he will
offer through the Fasig- -Tipton Com
pany to the highest bidders on August
8. There are fifteen of them. eight
colts and seven fillies. most of them
sons and daughters Of The Manager
The Manager, as every one knows, was
one Of the two great distance runners
got by Voter while Voter stood at the
late James r. Keene's Castleton stud
in Kentucky. The other was Ballot,
and the racing sharps are divided in
opinion as to which was the greater
horse.

City racetrack. All of the gate re-
ceipts will be turned over to the Amer
lean Red Cross. The free list will be
