I., N. Y., May 13. — C. V. Whitneys Catspaw threaded his way between horses near the finish of the seventy-seventh running of the Juvenile Stakes today, then responded when Eddie Arcaro got into him with one of his strongest finishes to score by a nose over C. T. Chenerys Permian, one of the extreme outsiders. Putnam Stables Swift Sword was almost two lengths father back at the end of the five furlongs on the Wide-ner straight course, while Wheatley Stables Full Flight was a half length out of the money. Full Flight and his stablemate, Quick Lunch, were heavily favored by the crowd of 19,999. Catspaw paid a liberal 2.10, probably because of the heavy rundown bandages, that resembled plaster casts, but reached out for ground at the finish and got the distance in a respectable :57y5. He added 1,750 to his account as he scored his second straight victory on this course. George A. Garrett, former ambassador to Eire, presented owner Whitney with the Juvenile trophy in the winners circle. Terrebonne Breaks on Top Terrebonne was first out of the gate in the Juvenile and continued to lead as the field approached the stands, though drifting down toward the center of the track from the outside. Mr. Looknow and Permian were close up in the center of the strip with Permian taking command nearing the eighth pole. Castpaw was never far from the leaders and began his run in the final furlong, sweeping past Mr. Looknow and Terrebonne without much trouble, but encountering unexpected resistance from Permian. , . . .

Cargile, of Lexington, Ky., under contract to trainer G. E. Lewis, handled his initial winner, piloting Mrs. L. E. Vaniers Royal Crispie to an upset victory in the six-Jfurlong fifth. Royal Crispie, a rank outsider in the wagering, paid 3.40 straight after beating W. G. Reynolds Doc Dofle a half length, while Loray Stables Prandium, who had a rough trip, finished third in the field of a dozen starters. Young Cargile makes 100 pounds and he is 17-years-old.
