Payment

It was a very long chain of luck that gave $150,000 to a Bronx, N. Y. restaurant chef named William Meringer. He had a wonderful recipe for hasenpfeffer. An anonymous patron had a ticket in the Irish Hospital Sweepstakes on Golden Miller. The patron went to the restaurant, ordered hasenpfeffer, ate three plates of it, called in Chef Meringer and gave him his ticket. Golden Miller won the Grand National (TIME, April 2).

Last week big-hearted William Meringer was in Dublin with his wife and two children, doing his level best to repay destiny. He told Dublin relief workers to round up 700 poor gossoons and colleens. These he sat down to a great dinner in the City Hall. The piece de resistance: hasenpfeffer.
