LATEST SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

LATEST CITY BETTING.

(FROM OUR RPECIAL CORRLIPOTDIttr.)
EX PREYS OFFICE, THREE O'CLOCK.
The betting was very quiet. Some books were opened on
the rpton.ou-Severn Steeplechases, but they received very
few sutras. Indeed the betting was at a standstill. The
Liverpool Cup was not speculated upon to •
suok•ient extent to justify a quotatso•. Lady
Ripon was much inquired after, sod although M.
Philippe was said to be is a queer state in the llamehester
market, sail although the local papers quoted him at 100
to 3, 20 to 1 would have been taken to money in London,
and, indeed, as little as IC) to 6 would have been booked in
certain quarters.
