Why does my first function work but not the second one?

Why does my first function work but not the second one?

I am new to web development with jquery.  I am trying to figure out why my first function works but my second one does not.
 
 
< script type ="text/javascript">

$(function () {

$("#<%=ctlInHandDate.ClientID %>").datepicker();

});

$(function () {

$("#<%=ctlSpecialRequest %>").change(function () {

alert("here");

});

});

</script>
