The leashmen of Santa Clara County
are back in their old form. Yesterday s
stake at Ingleside was one CT the clos
est drawn of the year. The entry also
embraced Eastern stock and the best
local stock. But it was the Santa Clara
stock that did the work. Curtis & Sons
kennels of Santa Clara burg itself have
long had a way of taking not only the
stake, but also second money. They
did 1t again yesterday with Rosette,
scarcely more than a puppy, and
Blackette. Then the third money went
to McComb & Bryon's Fleetwood, also
of Santa Clara County, and S. E. POr-
tails Gallagher (same county again)
was in the next money. So, too, was
the same owners AT Last In the next
money.
1t was a red letter day for Santa
Clara County greyhounds. 1t was a
day of true and consistent coursing,
with one or two Outcroppings of the
sensational. Rosette, as was known,
had but just recovered from distemper.

Sloane she was closely watched, and
the talent felt bit shaky. 1t was need

poor old Dashaway so far behind that
1t was not even a procession.
Rusty Gold, the late runner-up at

bye. But Valley Maid, after losing that
bye, then went out and beat the fam

line The odds were 312 to 1 in favor

The other dumps" of the day were
Gallagher'S win over Lass of Gowrie,
the 3 to l sure thing, Harkaway's
thrOw-down of the 4 to l favorite, Sys-
tematic, and Gallagher's doing-up of
Occidental, to l shot.
Gallagher, in fact, seemed to puzzle
the knowing ones. He is a youngster
owned by S. E. Portal of Westside,
Santa Clara County, and this was his
first public work. 1t will not be his
last appearance, nor will he again be
overlooked. Apropos, too, of the dogs
that are worthy of watching, the Curtis
stock have now carried off everything
on at least eight occasions during the
past six months. For a time il was
Cavalier and Rosette that would pull
down first and second money. Then
Maud S and Rosette began to duplicate
the performance, and yesterday Rosette
