Y. ISak Kirsch's challenge for Saratoga's rich stakes has toeen weakened considerably as the result of a freak electrical Worm which yesterday knocked out eight of his horses, three of them highly regarded. The storm, which killed W. S. Kilmer's little known two-year-old, Gino Vive, felled Dawn Play from Robert Kleburg's King ranch, Mrs.

Julia M. Loft's Mosawtrc, Mrs. Parker Coming's Thanksgiving and five others. Dawn Play, champion three-year-old filly of the year, won the Acorn and Coaching Club Oaks at Belmont Park before traveling west to take the American Derby. Mosawtre is highly regarded among the three-year-olds while in Thanksgiving the veteran trainer has a promising candidate for juvenile honors.

The lightning played queer tricks in the barn, for it seemed to pick out the outstanding horses. The bolt first hit Dawn Play, skiped three stalls and struck Thanksgiving and then missed two more before knocking down Mosawtre. The three, together with Mrs. Coming's two-year-old Down East, were unconscious for several hours. Hirsch said it would be two or three days before he'll be able to determine whether the shock will have any serious effect on his horses.

"I've always heard that lightning, like a horse, has peculiar ways," said Hirsch. "When the lightning struck I was having lunch in my kitchen close to the barn. I felt something strike my foot and guessed what it wns. The next thing I knew the chef was lying flat on his back. He apparently had been struck by the same bolt that clipped me on the foot." When the trainer readied the stable, the stricken animals were staggering about and falling in the yard.

"They looked like a lot of drunken horses," he said. Hirsch has had his shore of bad luck at Saratoga. Two years ago a railroad car holding several of his horses caught fire. Bold Venture was among the group and altho he didn't race again as a two-year-old, he came back the next year to win the Kentucky Derby and Preakness. Clear butt walnut veneers and unnvood.

The attorney pointed out that the state had been unable to fix the exacl amount due each municipality pending a determination in court of the amount the Jersey Central Power and Light company is to pay.

Confronted with this Information, everyday citizens would suspect the i worst; historians and geographers would raise their hands in horror: but examiners of the New Jersey civil serv-! ice commission remain philosophical.

To the men who correct nearly 40,000 examination papers every year these arc just typical "boners'' pulled by serious-minded persons trying to win jobs in slate and municipal governments. 1 J. Lyman Brown, assistant chief examiner who has spent more than 17 years in examining applicants for governmental positions, contends "people don't try to be funny when they take the exams, but we get some funny answers Just the same." Mr. Brown once posed the question "one-half of what number equals one-third of nine" To which an apologetic-job candidate replied: "We were just taking up friction when I left school." A library examination recently produced the following: "The bombardment of Fort Sumter marked the beginning of the Revolu-! tionary war and the close of the Waf' of 1R12." Other "authorities" on history revealed: The battle of Chateau Thierry was fought in Paris; the Clermont was the first steamer to sail up the Stephen Douglas was the doorkeeper of a home visited by Washington; Manhattan Island is an island possession of the U. S.

Asked to suggest a menu for prisoners, a would-be commissary officer proposed gravy "because it is made at practically no cost and makes a fine dish especially if you have had a dry meal." An architectural examination yielded the top: The Corinthian order is part of the B. P. O. E. One person thought the abbreviation meant "no bonus" another defined a night letter as a telegram sent by radio.

On a completion type of examination there was this question: "A person owed by another is. "Out of luck unless the debt Is interest-bearing," was the answer received. "We get lots of laughs out of these test papers," said Mr. Brown, "but we've been grading examinations for so long that even absurd answers do not surprise us." $5.00 Value $7. ,10 2.39 Regularly and Cool and comfortable.
