SPORTING- INTELLIGENCE.

CHELMSFORD SPRING MEETING.—TUESDAY.
Although the sport celebrated on Galleywood-common
to-day was quite up to the average of previous anniver-
saries, there was a very limited attendance, which may be
accounted for by the fact that the natives of the county of
Essex evince but slight interest in the national sport. The
course, from the peculiar nature of the soil, has been but
little influenced by the recent severe weather, so that the
going was good. On account of the exposed situation of
the stand and the fall of * snow and rain, standing about or
thoroughly enjoying the sport was next to impossible
Details of the sport aro appended.

whipped in by Clatford. But slight variation occurred in
the respective positions of the competitors until after pass-
ing the half-mile post, when Musician took a lead of about

Even on Sinite, 3 to 1 agst Mrs. Naggleton, 2 to 1 each agst
Harold, Cockfighter, and Robin Adair, and 6 to 1 agst Sports-
man. Immediately after starting Cockfighter rushed to
the front, followed by Sinite and Harold, Mrs. Naggleton
being last off, but when fairly settled in their stride the
favourite took up the running, and led past the stand the
first time, Cockfighter being second, and the others well
up. After clearing the water-jump Page took a pull at
Harold going on with the lead, but opposite the
stand he and Cockfighter alternately led, Harold however
taking a clear lead as they approached the Ferry water-
jump. On passing the stand the second time Mrs. Nag-
gleton, followed by Sportsman, rushed to the front, Cock-
fighter and Robin Adair going on next, side by side,
several lengths in advance of Sinite and Harold. Nothing
worthy of mention occurred until the competitors were op-
posite the stand, when Sinito rushed through his horses
and took second place ; but at the next fence she came to
grief, barely rising at the obstacle. Sportsman was now
left with a clear lead, followed by the others in Indian file,
but Cockfighter refusing, and Mrs. Naggleton falling at
tho Ferry jump, the issue was left to Sportsman and Mr.
Yates's pair. In the Plough Robin Adair, who was lying
second, tired to nothing, his stable companion being now
left in attendance on Sportsman, but never being able to
reach him, Mr. Yates's " second string" sustained defeat by
two lengths; all the others walked back to the enclosure.
