WAITING TO HEAR FROM MR.. HAGGIN-THl
KERN INCIDENT

Wherever racing men met yesterday and last night
the performance of j. B. Haggin's colt Kern, in the
race for the Iorard Stakes Tuesday. was the sub
iect that engaged them in conversation. Various
were the opinions expressed many the criticisms. but
but I'm all the talk there nothing tangible. for
nobody knew anything. one way or the Other. One
question. repeated over and again, remained I'M
answered. "Why was Kern stared?7 men asked each
other. and all replied, Don't know" Possibly
Matthew Byrnes knows, but he was at
Long Branch. Kern is named to start
for the Monmouth Cup today. If he should win ii
everybody will know why he sent for the Lorl-
lard Stakes.
In race at sheepshcad Bay on June 10 Kern
started against Paragon, Tristan and Frank Ward The
distance was is miles and he carried only 81 IL
pounds Bum, who rode him, having TO declare IL
pounds overweight A person who considered it be
meath the dignity Of Mr. Hsgsn 10 race such selling
platter offered 10 buy him, thinking he might get him
for a few hundred dollars. But Dir. Haggin promptly
declined 10 sell Kern. he declared had shown 50
we'll in his trials that the stable believed in him he
hard colt 10 ride but with full weight up and
with man in the saddle he would give good
count Of himself Wen, with 90 IL pounds on his
back he led for mile and collapsed finishing fourth
1t may be that Trainer Byrnes thought Kern, with
Brant up, capable Of winning the Lorillad.

up in the first half mile Sorrento, who led from the
start. the half in 81 IL seconds. Longstreet
ran it in 80 IL seconds. This must have taken

the Dryers colt had got of terms with
Salvador and bad had the seconds in him az the
head Of the stretch when he made his run he would
have forced the winner 10 stretch his neck and might
possibly have beaten him.
Whether he deserves it or not there are many

alternating current was passed through subject
death cnsuod instantaneously.
The finding Of a criminals electrical resistance and
the regulating OF the fatal current accordingly said
the witness, IS not Absolutely necessary. II an al
terang current of from 900 to 1000 volts be sent
through man, and tho electrodes are large aud IN
firm contact with the body, death Will result in every
instance, no matter how great the subjects resistance
may be. The computing OF his resistance IS only
pIccauton against the accidental brcakage OF the vine
Or insufficient contact between the electrodes and the
subject No person has ever escaped death when he
received a shock from alternating current Of 600
volts, unless the contact between himself and the wires
