PAPP WINS WHIRL STAKES. SPEEDY BUT FREAKISH YOUNGSTER BARELY MANAGES TO OUTSTAY ULTIMA THULE. Pavorito Sun Briar Fails to Concede "Weight and Finishes Third Top o th Morning: Gives Big Weight and a Beating to Kewessa. New York, July 14. In a race that was marred by the rough riding of several jockeys, G. AV.-Lofts speedy but erratic Papp was returned the winner of the Whirl Stakes, the five and a half furlongs sprint for two-year-olds, which featured the week-end program at the Yonkers course. A nose back came the AVickliffe Stables Ultima Thule. with tin public choice, AV. S. Kilmers Sun Briar, a well-beaten third. As the race was run, it is possible Ultima Thule was best. This colt was forced wide on the last turn by Troxler on Iapp and the move was one that cost him the race. Bughouse was another to suffer from interference, this colt being repeatedly knocked back in the racing down the back stretch and around the turn. The disappointment of the race was the showing of the public choice, Sun Briar. This youngster, ruled favorite by virtue of his triumph over Tracksehd and Lucullite and his performance further clouds the two-year-old championship question. Away sluggishly, he moved into a contending position while rounding the turn, but in the dash down the homestretch could not close the gap that separated from Iapp and Ultima Thule. Papp was the one to dominate the running from almost the first stride. After acting fractiously at the barrier, he was taken to the ouside and, beginning rapidly from this position, made the pace, but could never gain a long lead on Ultima Thule and, as the pair approached the stretch, the latter moved up fast on the outside. He was forced wide on the turn and the ground lost brought about his defeat. Bight at the end he was a tired horse, but was going better than the winner and vould have woli in a few more yards. Jhis was the seventh running of the Whirl Stakes, the brief history of which is as follows: Year. Winner. Wt. Jockey. Val. Time. 1008 Oolden Pearl 121 J. Butler . ,S3,01j5J.;42 0909 Aromlaek .1R1.T.

Top o th Morning Carries Big "Weight to Victory. Favored by a run at the barrier and, racing in his best form, Paul Powers Top o th Morning outpaced a good band in the Fleetwing Handicap and lasted long enough to outstay W. Ii. Olivers Kewessa in the closing strides. This race, over the short three-quarter route, was the companion feature to the Whirl Stakes. The winner was well in motion as the barrier ascended, and quickly racing to a good load, managed to hold his advantage. Kewessa, always in closest pursuit of the pacemaker, gradually wore him down in the final eighth, but the early advantage of Top o th Morning proved just enough to return him the winner. James Butlers High Noon was a well-supported choice in this race but tired badly after showing nothing more than a flash of early speed.
