LEXINGTON BECOMING A LIVELY PLACE Arrivals of Owners and Horses from Saratoga, Louisville and St. - Louis, By T. B. Cromwell". Lexington, Ky., September 7. The good two-year-old brown filly Plevna, by Ben Brush Proud Daisy, owned by Johnson N. Camden and trained by-J. C. Milam, died here this morning as the result of a fever contracted en route from Saratoga. Plevna won two of her five races, and was second in another. She was intended to be kept for breeding purposes in the Hnrtla,nd Stud of her owner, where she was foaled. This is the third two-year-old to die here within a month from the same cause, the others being Jessie Ormsby, winner of two races in six starts and Mehaffey, winner of one out of five races and both members of the Gallaher Brothers string. The stables of T. C. McDowell, Howard Oots, II. II. Hewitt and William Harley from Saratoga; Zeke Arnold from Louisville and the horses J. W.
