December 20. A Weak Spot in | | Clara County greyhounds. THE SAN FRANCISCO 'CA_LL, MONDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1897. SANTA CLARE DOGS RUY WELL The Youthful Rosette and the Older Blackette Down All Fliers. The Talent Recognizes Fleet Grey- hounds and Lands Accord- ingly. The leashmen of Santa Clara County are back in their old form. Yesterday’'s stake at Ingleside was one cf 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 & Son’s kennels of Santa Clara burg itself have long had a way of taking not only the stake, but also second money. They did it again yesterday with Rogette, scarcely. more than a puppy, and Blackette. Then the third money went to McComb & Bryon's Fleetwood, also of Santa Clara County, and 8. E. Por- So, too, was the same owners’ At Last in the next | money. 2 It was a red letter day for Santa It 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. Consequently, in her first run with Tod Sloane she was closely watched, and the talent felt a bit shaky. It was need- less. Rosette ran away from Sloane. Blackette then showed the same quality of her kennel mate by leaving poor old Dashaway so far behind that it was not even a procession. Rusty Gold, the late runner-up at Merced, failed to materialize, and Val- ley Maid thereby got the notch of a bye. But Valley Maid, after losing that bye, then went out and beat the fam- ous Pheron, the only Santa Clara can- didate who failed to cross the financial line. The odds were 3% to 1 in favor of Pheron. The other “dumps” of the day were Gallagher’s win over Lass of Gowrie, the 3 to 1 sure thing, Harkaway" throw-down of the 4 to 1 favorite, Sys- tematic, and Gallagher’s doing-up of | Occidental, a 2 to 1 shot. g | Gallagher, in fact, seemed to puzzle the knowing on He is a youngster owned by S. E. Portal of Westside, Santa Clara County, and this was his first public work. It 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 it 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 took in Blackette. They are good dogs and all of the old Rockette stock. The running in detail yesterday was as follows: Open All-Age Stake—Cur- tis & Son’s Rosette beat M. Murphy's | Tod Sloane, J. Byrnes’ Mohawk beat J. | J. Warren’s Sweet Lips, Curtis & Son’s | Blackette beat C. Evans’ Dashaway, J. | Seggerson’s White Chief ran a bye with | Sly Boy, Senorita being absent, Monte- zuma Kennel's Joy Bells beat Larkey & Rock’s Myrtle, J. Murnane’s Valley Maid ran a bye with Terrona, Rusty Gold being absent on account of lack | of proper condition, Simmons & Dona- | | hue's Mountain Beauty beat J. J. War- | | Gowrie, s | non’s Systematic, E. Wilson's Magnet ren’s Benicia Boy, G. Whitney’s Ther- | on beat J. J. Edmonds’ Move On, Dillon | & Reilley’s Granuale beat O. Herzog's | Gazelle, J. Byrnes’ Occidental beat W. | Link’s American Lady, ‘S. E. Portal's | Gallagher beat J. F. Grace's Lass 0" | F. Butler's Susie beat Orient | Kennel's Uncle Sam, S. E. Portal's At Last beat J. M. Halton’s Alameda, E. Henry’s Harkaway II beat D. Shan- | beat Kay & Trant's Eclipse, McComb | | ‘““Evolutionary Bear- | & Bryan’s Fleetwood ran a bye with Myrtle; Beau Brummel being absent, D. Shannon’s Sarcastic beat Larkey & | Rock’s Emerald, J. Murnane's Flash- light beat D. Shannon’s Swinnerton. First ties—Rosette beat Mohawk, Blackette beat White Chief, Joy Bells | beat Mountain Beauty, Valley Maid | beat Theron,Occidental beat Granuale, | Gallagher beat Susie, At Last beat Harkaway, Fleetwood beat Magnet, | Sarcastic beat Flashlight. | Second ties—Rosette beat Joy Bells, | Blackette beat Valley Malid, Gallagher beat Occidental Fleetwood beat AtLast, Sarcastic ran a bye with Senorita. Third ties—Rosette beat Gallagher, Blackette beat Sarcastic, Fleetwood ran a bye with Skyball and beat him at short odds. Fourth ties—Rosette beatFleetwood. This left the final to be run off be- tween Rosette and Blackette, both owned by the Curtis Kennels of Santa | Clara. They divided, in consequence, first and second money. Rosette is by Emin Pasha out of Rockette. Blackette is by Lord Clifton out of Rockette. . JEWISH SUNDAY=- SCHOOL FEAST. The Sunday-school of the Mission branch of the Jewish Educational So- ciety celebrated the feast of the dedi- cation of the tabernacles yesterday afternoon in Excelsior Hall. The room was crowded, fully a hundred and twenty littleonesbeing present. After a programme in which the talent of the school was allowed to shine forth the youngsters were presented with nuts and candies. The exercises were led by Professor Mongolas. A great deal of praise is due Miss Stella Werner for the time and attention she gave in arranging the programme and train- ing the children. Her assistant was Miss Schloss. Following is the excel- lent programme: j Music, Miss Edna Schloss; address, Rabbi Voorsanger and Messrs. Green- baum and Schloss; piano solo, ar- tha,” Miss Ray Bloom; reading, “His- tory of the Feast of Dedication,” Miss Mabel Toplitz; song, “Three Jolly Sailor Boys,” Sam and Abe Rosenberg and Abe Friedman; recitation, “The Flower of Liberty,” Herbert Yager; recitation, “Miss Bess's First Party, Miss Gertrude Sullivan; vocal solo, Miss Lena Marco; recitation, “Little Knickerbockers,” Master Irving Folic; ‘recitation, “Which Will You Have?" Miss Lena Bloom; recitation, “Wash- ington,” Sidney Norton; recitation, Miss Freda Rubinstein. IF CHRIST HAD NOT COME. “What if Christ had not comé?” was the subject of an interesting sermon delivered by Rev. W. 8. Urmy, pastor of the First M. E. Churcen, yesterday morning. He said in part: “What if Christ had not come? Suppose he had not appeared when he did, nor had been seen by men up to this time? ‘What would have been the condition of the world? What would have been_ our conditien had he been living now? It is impossible for us to fully con- ceive the terrible darkness that had settled down upon the world previous to the Savior's advent. The people | Sabbath-school. sat in darkness and in the shadow of death. They were blinded, prejudiced, filled with evil and all about them was a dense cloud of doubt and unbe- lief. All the earth was filled with muttering and whispering and in their own minds were thoughts of evil spirits, God’s awful wrath and evil vice. 2 The speaker then drew a vivid pic- ture of Rome and Greece and of the cruelties practiced by their inhab- itants and gradual decay due to their mode of living and their low morals. Concluding, he said that had Christ not come we would still be in dark. ness. We would not have had Sun- day-schools, praises to God, no hymn- books, no Christmas entertainments, no schools of Christianity nor any- thing that tends to uplift our thoughts to a higher plane. His coming has dispelled the darkness and now light has spread itself upon the earth and lnt:‘lltlgem improvement has been the result. FESTIVAL OF CHANUKAH ENDS. The eighth and last day of the cele- bration of the Chanukah festival was observed in all Jewish synagogues throughout the city yesterday evening by sermons, appropriate exercises and gifts of candy to the Sabbath-school classes. The festival commemorates the stirring deeds of Judas Maccabeus and his followers when persecuted by Antiochus, the Babylonish King, on account of their religion. The exercises at the Bush-street Temple began with a series of marches, recitations, hymns and other musical features, after which the play, “Han- nah and Her Seven Sons,” was carried cut by the children belonging to the s The story of the hero- ism of Hannah and her sons is given both in the Talmud and the Book of Maccabees, Following this interesting service came the Chanukah service, in which the blessing was given by the pupils both in Hebrew and English. The tableau of eight lights was the last feature of importance prior to Rabbi Myers' address, “The Jewish Little Hero.” The whole of the eloquent speaker's sermon was addressed to the children in language so simple that all could understand, and yet conveying such a strength of impression as to hold tne closest attention of the older members of the congregation. After recounting the story of Hannah and her children, | he spoke at length on the message con- veyved to the young Samuel by the Lord after Eli's words of advice were followed, and deduced therefrom the fact that all could be youthful preach- ers and teachers. “To be regarded with favor by God,” he stated, “you must show how much you can do to spread the truth. Show your pride in your noble ancestors by Your own heroism, remembering that tbe true hero is the one who does God's will, even if life be the penalty.” The celebration ended with the sing- ing of the song “America” and the distribution of the souvenirs to the children by Willlam Lissner, head teacher, and Rabbi Myers. ey AT CENTRAL M. E. CHURCH. Dr. Charles Edward Locke preached a Christmas sermon last evening to an audience which thronged Central Methodist Church in every part. His subject was “Let Us Go Even Unto Bethlehem.” The text was Luke 2:xv— “Let us go even unto Bethlehem and see the thing which is come to pass which the end hath made known to us.” The Christmas music under the direction of J. J. Morris was of the highest order. In his sermon Dr. Locke described Bethlehem as located six miles south- east of Jerusalem embowered in olive and fig trees and fringed with ter- raced grain fields of prodigal fertil- ity. In interesting detail he referred to Joseph, the Nazarene carpenter, and Mary, his espoused wife, to the multitude of singing angels, to the wondering shepherds, to the pictur- esque wise men from the East, to that | sly and cruel fox, King Herod, all oi whom had gone to Bethlehem at that first Christmas-tide. He said:“Let us g0, not like the angry King to per- secute and destroy, but let us seek tke quiet' haunts of this beautitui oriental city, that like Joseph we may defend our Lord, like the angels we may sing his praises. like the shep- herds we may spread about the glad tidings, and like the wise men that we may pour the treasures of our love and loyalty and industry at the feet of the Christmas Jesus.” THE USUAL SERVICES HELD. Yesterday was rather a quiet day in all the Catholic churches. At St. Mary's Cathedral Father Hannigan preached at 10:30 mass and in the evening Father Dempsey occupied the pulpit. At St. Ignatius, Father Butler celebrated mass and Father Burkard preached. The Ladies’ Sodality of the Immaculate Conception met and re- cited the office of the Blessed Virgin. At Saint Patrick’'s Father Kane preached on the Incarnation. The dec- orations at all the Catholic churches are particularly effective this year and crowds visited the churches during the day. 5 At the Paulists’ Church a prominent member of that order is visiting from New York, namely Father Hopper. He intends to stay here for a short time and will then continue his trip through California. CONFIRMATION AT ST. LUKE’S. A class of thirty were confirmed at St. Luke's Episcopal Church yester- day at the morning services, Bishop Nichols officiating. Previous to the confirmation exercises the Bishop preached a short sermon on “Creeds.” He spoke of the necessity of having one’s creed in the heart as well as on the lip, and said that the creed should he stuck to as firmly as a money-mak- ing man sticks to making money. Al- most all of the Christmas music used on Christmas day was repeated yester- day. At the close of the service Bishop Nichols addressed:a few words to the confirmants. WILL HAVE A NEW SYSTEM. Rev. W. H. Tubbs, during his ad- dress at the Bethlehem Congrega- tional Church last night, referred to his late unpleasantness with the other Congregational ministers, and said: “Sunday will usher in the New Year and after that time we will begin to run this church under a new system, and it will be an entirely new system. I will stay with this congregation and this church as long as the congrega- tion wants me. When the congrega- tion does not want me I will leave and not before.” CASTORIA ORPHANS MADE HAPPY Annual Distribution of Prizes to the Most Painstaking Pupils. Names of Those Rewarded and Their Gifts—Excellent Programme Rendered. Yesterday was a gladsome occasion for the little fellows out at the Pacific Hebrew Orphan Asylum, Hayes and Devisadero streets. The large gymnasium was crowded with them, and a goodly number of older folk, too, who came to witness the proceedings and add their voices of praise to those who had by industry and correct deportment brought themselves.into notice. The event was the annual distribution of prizes by President S. W. Levy. The exercises were under the direction of Superintendent Henry Mauser, and came before the prize distribution. As each of the prizes was given to the happy recipient the president made a few well-chosen remarks, stat- ing at the outset that ‘he hoped the rewards earned by these would inspire all to work hard for recognition next year. The first prize for scholarship, the Behrendt medal and $260, was awarded to Arnold Cohen. Rebecca Lakomy received the silver medal and $100. She received a prize in 1896, also, and her sister Hulda won the $100 for the same year. For deportment, Etta Reuben was given the house medal and $10. She won a prize in 1894, and her brother Abe took the Behrendt medal for 1893. Albert Taussig took the house medal and $10, as well as the girl. Last year he took a prize for punctuality. Abe Smock and Ida Ciegler said to be two very good children, who have made ex- cellent improvement during the past year, were given $5 each. For industry Jennie Levy and Milton Goldstein received $5 each. Both were recipients of prizes in 1894. Ray Anshgl and Beatrice Sapero were each given $5 for the best sewing. Ray received a prize in 1894, and her sister Jennie won the gold medal of the pre- vious year. Beatrice's brother, Aaron, was awarded the Behrendt medal last year. He is now in the high school, and later on will go to the Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati and study for the rabbinate. ‘William Fogel was given the prize for neatness, $5. He was recognized in the distribution of prizes three years ago. Francis Taussig, Henry Basker and Jennie Grau were each awarded $5 for excelling in Bible history. All are said to be attentive and studious children. Following is the programme rendered by the children for the occasion: Anspacher band, “Living Pictures” (Dalbey); motion song, “Driftin dumbbell drill, class A; vocal quartet, “Lily of the Valley” (Pinsuti); Ans- acher band, “Robin Hood"” (de Koven), ntroducing solos for cornet, barytone and trombone; wand drili, class B; mo- tion song, “The Brook’: Anspacher band, “Under the Double Eagle” (Wagner). HANDBALL SPORTS GALORE The San Francisco Courts Are Be- ing Well Patronized by Lovers of the Game. The exhilarating sport of * chasing the little worsted ball and keeping it in constant motion against the three walls of a ball court is one of the games that never lack the attention of those athletes who understand the game and who love to devote an after- noon’s ‘time to the enjoyment of the sport. This was the case at the two ball courts in this city during Christ- mas day and yesterday. At John Condon’s Occidental court, at 120 Grove street, the two days’ score was as follows: B. Clements defeated W. Hassell; score, 21—17, 14—21, 21—19. W. Collins and B. Clements defeated A. Collins and W. Hassell; score, 21—19, 15—21, 21—10. A. McVicker and A. Hampton de- feated G.
