BETTING AT MANCHESTER-SATURDAY.

Fluctuations in the betting on the Northamptonshire
Stakes were once more the order of the day. Mail Train
declined to 100 to 7 (taken), and, at one time, 5 to 1 was
accepted freely about John Davis. Finally, however, 6
to 1 was laid against John Davis, and Swordsman closed
the favourite at 5 to 1. Huntsman's Daughter was firm
at 100 to 8 ; and 20 to 1 would have been taken freely
about Gibraltar had that figure been forthcoming, but 100
to 6 was the highest offer against him. Hartley, with-
out any large sums being laid, declined to 20 to 1 (taken
and offered), and that price was accepted to small sums
about Scamander. Skeffington, who was reported to have
been " scratched," was scarcely mentioned. For the City
and Suburban Handicap the principal investments wore in
favour of The Grinder and Lampoon, both of whom are
supported in good quarters. 10 to 1 was offered on the
field for the Chester Cup, but the only horses backed were
the Highflyer's dam colt and The Grinder, 25 to 1 being
taken freely about the last-named candidate. For the Two
Thousand Guineas both Breadalbane and Broomielaw were
invested on, 100 to 30beingaccepted about Breadalbane, and
20 to
.1 Broomielaw. The horses in request for the Derby
were Breadalbane, Liddington, The Oppressor, and
Brahma, 35 to 1 being taken freely about the latter. Closing
