BETING AT MANCHESTER.-MONDAY.

Speculation at the Subsbription Rooms this day on the
Northumberland Plate was of the usual "up and down "
character, as horses were knocked about in a most
mysterious manner. Caller Ou, however, who opened at
7to 2, closed at sto 2 (taken freely). Brown Bread and
Revival, who were very unsteady at the latter portion o
last week, were in good odour, 9 to 2 being accepted
about the Middleham colt, and 13 to 2 was taken about
the representative of the "spots." Le Marechal was
steady at 10 to 1, but Brandy Wine fluctuated between 9
to 1 and 100 to 8, the latter being the offer at the finish,
and that price was taken about Macbeth. La Toucques
rapidly declined from 7 to 1 to 20 to 1 (offered), and Strong
Beer was friendless at 100 to 3. Closing prices :

SCULLERS' RACE soft £5O.—A scullers' race of a very in-
teresting description was rowed yesterday between George
Cannon, of Blackwall, and Joseph Heath of Greenwich,
from Putney to Mortlake, for £25 a-side. Both are water-
men, and had several times previously distinguished them-
selves, and they met before last year below bridge, when,
after a severe race for three miles, Heath nearly drove his
man ashore, and going by, won with ease. Since then Heath
has rowed Horace Cole, of Chelsea, and would have won
easily, but a foul early in the race was given in against him.
Cannon had trained at Harry Kelly's, the Bells, Putney ;
Heath at Salter's, the Feathers, Wandsworth ; and both
were very fit. Three steamers, densely crowded, accom-
panied, and betting was 6 to 4on the Greenwich lad. Mr.
Heath having been appointed umpire for his son, George
Hommerton for Cannon, and the veteran Bill Pocock re-
feree, they went to the Aqueduct at 4 o'clock, Cannon
with the station, and after an amount of fiddling got away
at 20 minutes past, Cannon obtaining a strong lead. In a
few strokes Heath came up, but Cannon got away again a
little, and a splendid race followed by the Star and Gar-
ter and London Boat-house, Cannon all the time drawing
slightly, aided by Heath's faulty steerage. At the
Point Cannon was all but clear of his man, but Heath stuck
to him gamely, and a little further drew over his quarter,
and they so rowed till near the Dung-wharf. Hero Cannon
drew clear again, taking Heath's water, and after another
desperate race went away at the Soap Works, and led by a
good two lengths under Hammersmith-bridge. After this,
in spite of Heath's plucky rowing, Cannon gradually in-
creased his lead without any remarkable effort, and won
by four lengths, in 24 min. 10 secs. Tho winner is pos-
sessessed of a very useful style, especially for a below
bridge man, and may be looked for to do something better
ere long.
