ENGLISH SPORTING. The San Francisco mail just arrived brings us the particulars of the Grand National Hunt Meeting, which took place on March 17th and 18th. The two principal events, the Four Oaks Grand National Hurdle Race of 600 soys and the Grand National Hunt Steeplechase of 250 Bovs, being won by Beauchamp 11. (who, by the way, is a daughter of Bergere, one of the mares purchased by Sir Hercules Robinson for the Auckland Stud Company ; Bergere, who is by Sannterer, brought 300 gs at the last Middle Park in England) and Pride of Prussia respectively. Lord Falmouth’s Oantiniere, Bal Gal’s dam, in foal to Sterling, is on a visit to Hampton at Worsley Hall, near Manchester. The One Tbousrnl was won by Mr Crawford’s Thebais, a 'daughter of Hermit, out of Devotion, who ran uncommonly well during her two-year-old career, winning several valuable stakes, notably the Ham Produce Stakes of 1000 sovs at Goodwood,, the Buckingham and Triennial Stakes at Newmarket; also the October Post Produce and Post Sweep Stakes. At Newmarket October won the Great Challenge Stakes, the Criterion Stakes of 1320 sovs, and another etake. Thora who ran second, is by Doncaster, from Frein This filly is the property of the Duke of. Westminster. She won the Exeter Stakes at Newmarket, ran second to Geologist in Criterion Nursery Stakes, and won the Troy Stakes. Lord Falmouth’s Bal Gal, who was third, is by Adventurer, out of Oantiniere, won as a two year-old the July Stakes of 1800 sovs, the Richmond Stakes at Goodwood of 1587 sovs, the Rous Memorial of 1207 sovs, the Prince of Wales Stakes of 1040 bovs at York, the Doncaster Champagne of 1520 sovs, the Rous Memorial of 552 sovs at Newmarket, the Olearwell Stakes of 1040, unplaced in the Middle Park Plate, and won the Dewhurst Plate of 1920 sovs at Newmarket. Altogether an exceptionally grand two-year-old performance. Peregrine, the winner of the Two Thousand Guineas, is by Pero Gomez out of Adelaide by Young Melbourne, and was a maiden when he started. He was sold as a year, ling for 150 guineas. It was a gratifying fact to the American division that they finished second and third, with their representatives. Mr Lorillard’s Iroquois, who was second, is by Leamington Maggie. 88., while Mr Keene’s Falano is by King Alphonso out of Canary Bird. The prophets were all out, and the metallicians must have had a good time. The American faorsea must have been in great form, for they were placed in .several other events of the meeting. LINCOLN MEETING. [As telegraphed to “ Turf, Field and Farm.”) The Lincoln Spring meeting commenced with the Lincoln Cup, a spin of five furlongs for two-year-olds. Mr James R. Keene’s bay colt North Star, by Fat Malloy, dam imp. Inverness, dam of Garrick, by Macaroni, was one of the seven starters. The race was won by Lord Roseberry’s bay filly by Macaroni, with Bras de Fer second, and North Star third. For the Lincoln Handicap, a straight mile, one of the largest fields which ever faced the starter in this race, no less than thirty-six horses, came to the post. None of the favorites secured a place, Mr W. S. Crawford’s gray colt Buchanan (4), ; by Strathoonan, with 12 to 1 against him, winning by ten lengths, with Mr P. Lorillard’s ohesnut colt Mistake (4), by Waverley, at 25 to 1, second, and Mr Graham’s brown colt Post Obit (4), by Sterling, 16 to 1, third. Neither Peter, ridden by Wood, nor Valour, ridden by F. Archer, made any show in the race.

He is well bred. Flurry, his dam is by Young Melbourne, dam Makeshift, by Voltigeur; second dam Makeless, by St. Martin, out of Lady Bden, by Partisan.

In the Brooklesby Stakes at Lincoln, Sir Geo. Ohetwynd, whose luck has been already alluded to above, had another turn with Belle Lorette by Pero Gomes, out of La Belle Helene. This victory, coupled with that of Peregrine on the Two Thousand, should send up Pero Gomez greatly in the estimation of English breeders.
