...fire spread so fast that few stories of its origin jibed. But several witnesses clung to their story of the port rear engine racing and spouting sparks. These might have ignited hydrogen valved out during the descent. Airships usually valve gas in landing. The vents are on top and the gas is so light that it usually rises straight up. The Hindenburg was slightly nose down at the instant of the fire and still moving fairly fast. Conceivably a freak breeze might have combined with the slipstream to waft a whiff of gas into engine sparks...
...having to run quite so far as outside horses, still faced the risk of being pocketed. War Admiral, who likes to lead from start to finish, drew the post position.

...midnight whenever he appeared hungry. Careful stuffing raised little War Admiral's weight 100 Ib. over the winter. He finally contrived to grow from 15 hands to 15 hands, 3 inches. Listed in the Derby winter books at 15-to-1, War Admiral's odds dropped fast when he won two races at Havre de Grace this spring. In both he exhibited his sire's famed trait of taking the lead at the start, keeping it to the finish. Like Man o' War, War Admiral has a slightly peevish disposition. Much of the eight-minute delay...
...Thirteenth Chair (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer). Like all stories which depend upon contrivance rather than on character, murder mysteries age fast. What is remarkable about The Thirteenth Chair is not that it is antiquated but that it should have withstood at all the fierce corrosion of two theatrical decades. Pathé made it as a silent in 1919, Metro as a talkie with Leila Hyams and Conrad Nagel...
