SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER—FRIDAY.
Since the conclusion of the York Spring Meeting the
rooms have been honoured with the presence of a few of the
subscribers, and a portion of the settling upon the Great
Northern Handicap has been effected ; betting, however,
upon events to come has been very trifling, although not
altogether void of interest. Muscovite for the Chester
Cup has disappeared from the list of quotations. Yester-
day 30 to 1 was laid in ponies against Andover, and after-
wards offered, with offers to lay 500 .to 400 that Arthur
Wellesley bests him; 1,000 to 80 was offered against
Scythian, without being taken, and subsequently 100 to 7.
Neville was in considerable force at 15 to 1, and would have
been backed against anything; 30 to 1 was currently
offered against Rotherham ; 50 to 1 would have been taken
about Cossey ; 40 to was taken :about Kidnapper; and
50 to 1 about Ireland's Eye ; 200 to 9 would have been
taken about Mortimer. To-day we lime little to add to
our account of yesteiday's business. A few trifling sums
were put upon Arthur Wellesley for the Chester Cup at
as low as 20 to 1 ; but whether for edging purposes or
otherwise, we cannot tell, but are of opinion, that his
backers are very select, and altogether confined to this
locality. There were offers to back Bolton against Rother-
ham, or to lay 30 to 1 against either. A few pounds were
invested upon Ire' and's Eye, at 50 to 1, and 15 to 1 asked for
:;bout Neville. The operations in other respects call for no
remarks.
The following list of quotations will show the latest
state of the odds :
