BETTING AT MANCHESTER.-FRIDAY.

- -
We had another dull day as to the amount of business
done, although the subscription room was crowded. 7to
2 was offered on the field for the Two Thousand Guineas
Stakes, and 7 to 1 was offered against The Marquis, who
was no quite friendless, but less than 9 to 1 was refused.
For the Derby 25 to 1 was offered bar three, although taken
about Caterer and the Typee colt. An attempt was made
to introduce the Lincolnshire Handicap and the Great
Northamptonshire Stakes, but beyond what is appended
nothing was done. Closing prices :

About 3 o'clock they started, The Rug leading, with Ace
of Hearts and Gaslight close upon him, each alternately
taking the lead. In the first round, the Ace leading past
the winning post, followed closely by The Rug, Hapha-
zard and Pine Apple being fifth and sixth respectively.
Haphazard, in taking the first fence in the second round,
breasted it and threw his rider ; Pine Apple following,
made a tremendous leap, throwing Kendall high in the air,
who fell on his side after making a complete somersault
and injured his right leg, and was too lame to continue the
race. In the meantime, Haphazard was again mounted,
and, although several fields behind, was soon well up; but
the contest was now to be decided by the Ace and The Rug,
Gaslight having retired. Great was the excitement when
the horses were approaching the last fence. The Ace was
over first, immediately followed by The Rug, who got a
slight lead of the Ace, but in the final struggle the Ace
made up with him, and the judge, unable to separate them,
pronounced a dead heat, and it was decided that after the
second race was over the Ace and The Rug should run
again.

Second Heat—The deciding heat was run as usual after
the last event of the day ; but Mr. James, who rode the
Ace in the first go, was unable to ride in the second heat
in consequence of having hurt himself while riding Con-
federate, in the Ladies' Plate, and George Stevens was
substituted. They startod a little before five, the Ace
leading, but when half-way round the first time, the Ace
fell at a fence, the saddle turned right round, and took a
little time to be righted, The Rug tearing away at a slash-
ing pace, but Stevens was soon in his wake, and The Rug
repeatedly refused the hedges, but passed the flag alone in
the first round, and when he came to the first fence he re-
fused it twice, and now by this time the Ace was with him
and they both took it together, and kept together the re-
mainder of the race without any mishaps, and to the
astonishmentof all arrived again at the winning post,
neck
and neck, and another "dead heat" was declared.*

It being now quite dusk, and altogether diingelou° to
