SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

TATTERSALLS'.-LAST EVENING.

The attendance this afternoon, though fashionable, was
meagre as to numbers, but several of the large book-makers
being present some important movements took place on the
Two Thousand, for which Fille de I,Air was again backed
to win some thousand at from 4 to 1 to 3 to 1, the latter
being taken kindly at the finish. Copenhagen was thought
at one period of the afternoon to be the "barred" one, but
the French "party" came out, and snatched up all the
100's to 3 in the market, which had the effect of reinstating
the mare more firmly than ever, 5 to 2 being the highest
price offered at the close of business. Copenhagen was
backed for a good dial of money at 9 to 2, and even at half
a point less ho met with some support. A Northern book-
maker, however, was loud in his endeavours to find a
customer for 4 "centuries," but with no result, 13 "hun-
dreds" were accepted about Planet, who declined, however,
to 7 offered, and at the latter odds Paris would have found
friends. The only features of the Chester Cup were the
firmness of Lord Zetland, Change, and Muezzin, at their
quoted prices, the former pair being backed one against the
other for a cool thousand. Very little was done on the
Derby. 18 to 1 eaoh was at first taken about General Peel
and Copenhagen, but later on their respective friends were
accommodated with 1,000 to 50. 1,000 to 35 was booked
once about Ely, and a solitary " fiver " was invested on
Ackworth at 33 to 1. Closing prices :

comparing on the Two Thousand, and the usual business.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER-THURSDAY.

Although there was an average muster at our Subscrip-
tion Rooms this day, the betting was marked with no
important feature, save the return of Paris to favour for
the Two Thousand Guineas. After 15 " poneys" had been
taken on the quiet about him, Paris closed at 10 to 1 (taken
and offered). At 7 to 1 General Peel, whose stable cora-
panicn, First Flight, was struck out yesterday at 3 45 p.m.,
would have been freely invested on, but 6 to 1 was the
highest offer against him. For the Chester Cup Change
closed a shade better favourite than Lord Zetland, but the
latter had many friends at Bto 1. Closing prices :
