BETTING AT MANCHESTER-FRIDAY.

For the Northamptonshire Stakes Prince Plausible retains
his place. Some money was invested on Rapparee without
altering his position, as 100 to 8, although taken, was after-
wards offered. Finlande and Dusk had friends, but a slight
advance was not wanted. Agag appears rather shaky for
this event, and he was not very firm for the Chester Cup,
but towards the finish 200 to 10 was booked about him.
The highest offer on the field for the City and Suburban
was 10 to 1, and the highest offer against Camarino was 100
to 6. There was no change on the Derby or Two Thousand
Guineas. Closing prices

a want of which has been complained of. In the Oxford
boat the bow man has been placed to row the after oar, and
with that change a race was rowed last week against the
following scratch lot, among which will be found the names
of some excellent oarsmen Garnett (8.N.C.) 2.

ham the hostile eight were in waiting, and rowed with them
to Abingdon Lasher, the University coming in well ahead.

extolled as having the mottle and lustre

unusual or two others of a

one of the most forward

to do its best.
