SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

CHELMSFORD SPRING MEETING-TUESDAY.

The second attempt at holding a Spring Meeting at
Chelmsford has been most successful, notwithstanding the
counter attractions of the York and Lichfield gatherings.
The attendance on Galleywood-common included most of
the notables connected with turf pursuits. The sport pro-
vided showed a decided improvethent on that of the last
anniversary.

After the miserable weather of the past week, a bright
sunshiny morning gave promise of a pleasant afternoon ;
but the after part of the day was cloudy, and a raw cold
wind prevailed. Sport commenced with the Trial Stakes,
and the talent wore fortunate in selecting for favourites the
first pair who passed the post ; but Mr. Ten Broeck's luck
to-day at this meeting found no exception, and Fordham
landed his colours by the shortest of heads. The Two-
Year-Old Stakes introduced a flying filly by Fitz-Roland,
who overthrew the pot on Ambition. The Cholmer Han-
dicap was a second blow for the followers of favourite; as
neither Earl of Surrey nor Grace Darling could make a
semblance of a race with Greenland, who ran clean away
from the lot, and won in the most hollow manner. The
other events are fully detailed below :

a head ; Gauntlet was a bad third, and the others passed

ning and went on with a clear lead, Earl of Surrey follow-
ing, at an interval of several lengths, Grace Darling next.

way to Grace Darling; but the lot being in difficulties,

kohl fourth, and the others, pulling up, walked past the
post.
