SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER. -FRIDAY.

Considering many of the influeutials are on the " York cir-
cuit," there was a very fair muster at the rooms to-day, and
business, on the events (now decided) at Thirsk, somewhat
brisk.

For the Great Northern Handicap we only saw one animal
backed, viz., Atherstone, at 100 to 5 was first booked, and
subsequently the offer of 100 to 6 met with a customer. With
