SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER-FRIDAY.

Although the weights for the Spring Handicaps are now
fairly before the public, speculation in this market is un-
marked by any activity, and a duller winter than the pre-
sent one has never been known in betting circles in this
city. Several large books are op2n on the Waterloo Cup,
and the nominations that have been entrusted for most
money are those of Lord Uffington, Messrs. H. Haywood,
Bland, Jardine, Jones, Randell, and Croft.—Betting on the
Two Thousand Guineas has been extremely limited,
Zambesi and Broomielaw being the only horses inquired
after.—For the Derby Bedminster has an upward tendency,
20 to 1 being accepted whenever obtainable. Closing
prices :
