BETTING AT MANCHESTER.-WEDNESDAY.
Thera being no less than four race meetings on to-day, the atten-
tion of turf speculators was too much divided to allow of any great
amount of business being done upon forthcoming events. The St.
Leger betting underwent no Perceptible chano as regards the
favourites. To show a little re .pect to Fazzoletto for the high posi-
tion in which he once stood in the betting for this great event, we
may remark that, so great is his fall, he has naw no friends at any
reasonable price ;30to 1 was currently offered against him—we did
hear, in a feeble tone, an offer made to take 100 to 1 about him';
and, sirange to relate, his stable companion; Vandal, for the Great
Yorkshire Handicap, is nearly equally unpopular, offers to bet
against him befog disregarded; so much so, that we cm form no
idea as to what odds would be taken about him. The small amount
of business that was done upon the Vol caster events, and so little
change was there upon yesterday's quotations, that we have
refrAned from giving a list of prices upon them. As regar is the
Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire Stakes, we have concluded
(until the acceptances are published) only to notice those horses
that are backed for money. being fully convinced that the system
which has become so common of late, namely, that of talking horses
into favourites, has a mischievous tendency, not only in leading
our readers astray, but shaking the confidence of those persons who
are takers of odds, and who figure in front of the market, which must
tell, In the end, against even the propagators of so pernicious a sys-
tem, by preventing a legitimate system of bookmaking being pur-
sued. We daily hear complaints from the greatest bookmakers
who frequent the rooms, that there is so little betting that round
betters have no encouragement to make books, and that instead of
people who attend the rooms having any inclination to invest, they
go merely to learn what horse is the favourite., and what horse is
being knocked out of :he betting; and after the close of the rooms
the cr.mpany separates, each person returning to his circle of
acquaintances, and regulates his investments according to what he
has seen or heard at the rooms : and, as far as our judgment goes,
that state of things will continue so long as the system of bringing
up " safe-un's" in the betting is adhered to, backers of horses being
afraid of doing right for fear least they should do wrong.
