SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

LINCOLN SPRING MEETING-TUESDAY.

It is doubtful if ever the opening of the legitimate cam-
paign at Lincoln was more agreeable to the racing com-
munity than it was this season, for all classes of turfites
were tired of the " dull months," and expressed themselves
anxious to resume their avocation. Since the break up of
the great frost there has been no interruption of the daily
doings at the training quarters, and the teams in various
parts of the country having done some excellent work, re-
presentatives were sent to Lincoln nearly in accordance
with general anticipations, and for the early period of the
year most of the competitors looked wonderfully fit and
well. The meeting which was inaugurated here to-day
promises to be the forerunner of a very successful season,
extending as it does into November, and comprising up-
wards of 200 race meetings. The energetic clerk of the
course, Mr. Ford, issued a list for the two days, whichcom-
prised several new and important features, embracing the
first two-year cld race of the season which last year took
place at Harrow. Whilst catering for the interests of the
racing public, Mr. Ford has not been unmindful of the
inhabitants of the fen country, for the programme included
steeplechasing and hurdle racing, a description of sport to
which the local people are very partial. The popularity of
Mr. Chaplin, whose country seat, Blankney, is near Lin-
coln, also conduced to the well-being of the meeting, and
a large number of sportsmen are being entertained by that
gentleman during the week. The sport was of an extremely
interesting character, and large fields were the rule. The
chief event of the day, the Lincolnshire Handicap, brought
out the large number of 19 runners, many .of whom were
backed at comparatively short prices, whilo the winner,
Vandervelde, was so lightly esteemed that hestarted at the
outside price of 33 to 1. The race was won easily, and
Fortunatus, Mrs. Allan, and John Halifax, who had been
backed very :heavily, were beaten to nothing. The re-
maining events do not call for any particular remark, and
ample details of the day's sport are appended :

The Trial Stakes of 5 sovs each, with 30 added ; three
year olds 7st 31b, four Bst 101 b, five 9st 51b, six and aged

Betting-5 to 2 agst Primrose, 3to 1 agst Saccharometer,

ono ineffectual attempt the lot got away on even terms,
Miss Middleton taking up the running, followed by Black
Prince and Porter's Knot, Vice Versa and Primrose to-
gether lying next, Saccharometer and Honesty bringing
up the rear. This order was maintained for a quarter of
mile, when Miss Middleton dropped back to Black Prince
and Porter's Knot, the trio coining on abreast until ap-
proaching the turn, where Honesty drew up to the three,
and they ran in a cluster to the bend, at which point
Porter's Knot took a slight lead, being joined by Primrose
within the straight, Saccharometer at the same time taking
third place. At the rails the last-named joined the leaders,
and quitting them opposite the enclosure, won cleverly by
a length ; a like distance separated second and third ; and
the remainder were placed by the judge.
