SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

LINCOLN MEETING -WtDNESDAY.

This meeting was brought to a successful close to-day,
the weather being extremely fine, and the company as nu-
merous as on the first day. In order to enable the visitors
to take their departure by the special which the Great
Northern Railway
Company had put on for their conveni-
ence, the first event was set for 2.15. The programme was
of liberal dimensions and the fields good. The City Han-
dicap was won by Historian, for whom the public have
long been waiting, and Copenhagen managed to get second.
The Brocklesby Stakes brought out no less than 17 young-
sters, and the clever win of Ninny caused Julius to be
backed freely for the Two Thousand at as little as 7 to 1.
Great interest was attached to the two steeplechases, both
of which proved sporting affairs, and resulted in each in-•
stance in a closed and exciting finish. During the intervals
of racing a considerable amount of speculation on future
events took place, the particulars of which, together with
details of the day's sport, will be found below:—

A delay of nearly three-quarters of an hour occurred at
the post before the competitors were despatched, but:even-
tually the flag fell to an excellent start, Ninny and Veda
getting off abreast, and they immediately showed the way
clear of Sultana, Eau do Vie, and Pyrenees, Pompier lying
wide on the right, being next, while Suffolk headed the
ruck. The last-named improved his position considerably
before the distance was reached, but he was never able to
overhaul the two leaders, to whom the race was confined
from the rails, and the Duke of Newcastle's filly, always
having slightly the best of it,won cleverly by half a length ;
Suffolk was defeated a couple of lengths for second place ;
a length only divided third and.fourth, Roll Call was fifth,

colt and Leases. At the half-distance Copenhagen ran
through his horses and took his position near Indian Star,
