Big Surprise for the
Talent.
Diana Proves to Be a Fast One
and Easily Wins the
Final.
Good Dogs, Good Hares and Fine
Weather Contribute to a Good
Days Sport

G. Whitnev of San Jose sprang a sur
prise on the talent at Ingleside coursing
park yesterday with two puppies which
! he en- tered in the open stake race.
They were the only young dogs entered,
and as against the cracks of the aged di-
vision were not thought to have chance.
But instead OF being downed early in the
day, as was expected, they both ran in the
last ties, and one of them called Zoe ran
in the final, but was beaten by Dana.
After the hare was killed in the final,
however, and before the dogs could be
caught, they star ted another hare in the
field, and gave the prettest exhibition OF
the day. In this unofficial race Zoe put
it all over Diana and the crowd went home
convinced that Zoe was the wonder OF the
! day.
The two youngsters are full brother and
sister, both being by Emin Pasha out OF
| Rockette, and the dog, which is called
! Theron, shared the honors of the day
with his sister.
| The largest crowd OF the season, fully
5000 people being present, enjoyed one OF
/ the best days sport had in a long while,
and although the talent got some hard
| bumps they also sent through some siz-
! Zling hot favorites.
| The stake was the biggest ever offered
/ on the coast for a race of this class, the
| total value of il bein $500.
Diana, who won the final, is 9 ST. Louis
| dog. owned by Kay & Trant, and she is
| one OF the fastest dogs ever seen at Ingle-
| side.
| She and Connemara put up one of the
| prettiest races of the day in the third ties.
! Both dogs are coal black, and they ran al
most neck and neck the whole distance.
| Diana also gave the talent dump wh en-
she beat Skybail, reputed to be the taste at
| dog on the coast. The betting was TO
! 81 III favor OF Skyball.
! Tod Sloan, who had an excellent chance,
! was Withdrawn after his race in the third
ties. Sloan and Said Pasha were matched
in this tie. The first TWO hares resulted In
! mo goes" and although Sloan won on
the third attempt, it was not thought ad-
! visabie to start him again.
There were many high class dogs en-.
tered. among them being Magician, a
crack Chicago dog, and ST. Cloud, winner
! of second prize at Merced last year.
| The usual Monday practice run was
| abolished two weeks ago, and as a result
the hares were remarkably strong and
| last yesterday.
The largely increased attendance at the
| Sunday races has forced the manage ment
! 10 provide better accommodations for the
! public, and this week the grand stand will
! be enlarged and elevated, and the seats
! and floors will be so arranged that good
view OF the park can be mad from every
/ point.
| Firm Friend. the dog who was injured
in his race with Magnet on Saturday, may
never start again, as he is badly hurt
a bout the head. He is an imported dog
and a very valuable one.
The betting yesterday was exceptionally
heavy and the pool boxes had all they
could do TO handle the money.
