LINCOLN SPRING MERTING.-BAIURDAY.

Although the Lincolnshire Handicap was reserved for the
seeped day of the meeting, and the weather ocetinuad fa-
vourable, the attendance was not nearly so numerous ea on
the previous day, the Grand Steeplechase having evi-
dently more attraction for the local spwtainen than the
first important fiat race of the $lllllOll. For the convenience
of the visitors the rating commenced at half-past 12 o'clock, 1
but owing to the bog and tedious delay which I
occurred at the start for the Linoolattim Han-'
dicap the sport was not concluded until nearly 5
o' clock—en hour and a half after the time appointed. The
Blankney Handicap, with which the racing began, produced
eight starters from the eleven entered, and the "fifty
given by Mr. Chaplin was won by Medias, the beet public
performer. Alter filly belonging to Mr. Hagman bad upset
the odds of 5 to 2 laid ors Tragedy toe the Innkeepers' Selling
Stakes, twenty-four—the largest field us record for this
race—went to the poet for the Lincolnshire Handicap. A
most tiresome delay took place at the poet, and the start
was eventually so unsatisfactory that a protest was
entered against it, not because Maurice and Forester
were left at the post, but is einedneace of the
competitors, it was inserted, having been despatched at a
time when several were is a "full awing gallop," as ex-
' premed by many of the jockeys. The stewards entertained
the objection, sod afterwards confirmed the judge'. decision,
which was in favour of the outsider Gaily. The Handicap
Hurdle race was woo by Brown Stout, once a promiment
favourite for the Doemater St. Leger, whose present owner
woo this same race last year with Oamperdown, and the
modem concluded with the defeat of the favourite for the
Liecolushire Hunt Steeplechase. Subjoised are farther
