LATEST I\IANCHESTER BETTING.

The chief feature in the business done was the advance
of Aurelian to 16 to 1, at which price the layers fought
shy, and refused to go on, ab hough as much as 25 to 1
could have been had to money against him earlier on in
the day. Limosina, Umpire, Alchymist, and Conqueror
retrograded several points on their afternoon's quotations.

GLOUCESTER RACES.-WEDNESDAY.

The continuance of wet overnight caused the sticky
ground in many places to form a regular quagmire, and the
running ground very much resembled a marsh. Still
owners of horses supported the exertions of the Gloucester
committee, which resulted, notwith standing the deplorable
condition of the ground, in reepectable fields contesting the
half•dozen items, the first of which was fixed for one
o'clock, and the last at four. The only drawback to the
meeting, barring the unpropitious weather, was the absurd
weights imposed for the Hurdle Race, the lightness of
which really appeared as though the framers of the handi-
cap were offering a premium for accidents. Below will be
found a detailed account of the day's sp( rt :
The Corporation Handicap Plate of 30 sovs, added to a
Sweepstakes of 5 sovs each. 1 FOV ft, for horses of all
ages. Winners extra. One mile. 28 subs.

Betting-5 to 2 agst Colonel Crockett, 4to 1 each agst
Rockley, Jack .in-the-Box, and Yorkshire Miss.
Colonel Crockett, in company with Jack-in-the-Box and
Yorkshire Miss, v ent away in front, Grey Hen colt being
last. After proceeding half the distance Yorkshire Miss
was a couple of lengths in the rear of the leading couple, the
running being still carried on by Colonel Crockett. Half a
dozen lengths behind Yorkshire Miss followeu Shepherdess,
and at an interval of a couple of lengths came Rockley,
whilst the Grey Hen colt was at least twelve lengths from the
front division. Reaching the final fun. into the straight,
Jack-in-the-Box was beaten, and could not keep up with
Col. Crockett and Yorkshire Miss, who commenced racing
in earnest ere they reached the distance. Jemmy Grimshaw,
however, failed to reach Col. Crockett, who won by half a
length; Shepherdess, beaten off, was third, and the others
straggled in at long intervals.
The Highnam Nursery Handicap of 50 soya, added to a
Sweepstakes of 5 sous each, 2 ft, for 2-yr-olds; winners

extra. Three quarters of a mile. 18 subs.

Betting-2 to 1 agst the Pearl colt, sto 1 each agst Fitz
Ruyter and Ma Belle, 6 to 1 agst Wave, 7 to 1 agat Blon-
din, and 8 to 1 agat Jesuista.

Fitz Ruyter, the Pearl colt, and Wave jumped away
slightly in advance of His Excellency, who headed the lot,
at the tail end of which, completely out-paced, followed Jack
o'Newbury. When half the distance had been run His
Excellency, in making the turn, rushed to the front, at-
tended by Jesuista and the Pearl colt, between which three
the race lay at this early period. Approaching the last turn
Jesuista (next the rails) obtained the lead, and at the dis-
tance was joined by the Pearl colt and His Excellency.
Half way up Mr. Brayley's horse quitted his opponents, and
ultimately won easily by three lengths; a singular struggle
for second place resulted in favour of Jesuista by a head.
Blondin and Ma Belle walked past the post fifth and sixth.

Handicap Sweepstakes of 10 soya each, 5 ft, for 3-yr-olds

For a few strides Proof lead the way, but the running
was soon taken up by Tonic), Violet and Ledbury in close
attendance, the remainder following in Indian file. At the
stand Tonio resigned the lead to Ledbury, who, on going on
the outward journey, took a commanding lead of Violet
who was followed by Proof, Brilliant, and Col. Crockett:
in the order named. Along the opposite side of the course
Brilliant left Col. Crockett, and ran into third place, Proof
at the same time retiring from the front. Approaching the
last turn, Brilliant pa, sed Vii let, and waited upon Ledbury
to the distance, where he took the lead, held his own to the
end, and won easily by a length ; Violet cantered in third,
and the remainder were beaten off.

Knuston, who was followed by Jacob, The Miller, and Pot
Pourri in the order named. Immediately they had passed the
stand Knuston took the lead, and on the opposite side of
the course, running out of the track, was virtually out of
the race. Wild Chieftain thereupon took his companions on
the right aide of the post, but almost immediately af, er-
wards fell, and for some minutes the boy lay motionless upon
the ground. Subsequently, however, he got up and walked
back to the weighing room, his fall resulting merely in a
severe shaking. 'Wild Chieftain's actions, when riderless,
fully verified his nomenclature, but his wild freaks were
soon stopped. After the above contretemps, Knuston,
though really out of the race, continued with the lead, fol-
lowed by The Miller, Jacob, and Pot Pourri, until entering
the straight, the second time, where he was evidently dis-
tressed. On his retirement Jacob went to the front, and
The Millet, after clearing the hurdle opposite the Stand,was
in difficulties. and dropped into the rear. At this point
Knuston pulled up, and Jacob continued a short distance in
front of Pot Pourri, the latter all the while waiting on the
leader. In almost the same place where Wild Chieftain
came to grief did the Miller fall, and unfortunately (though
Sly remounted his horse) it was afterwards found he had
dislocated his collar bone. Pot Pourri headed Jacob a quar-
ter of a mile from the finish, and cantered in 30 lengths in

The following as ran :—hurry Scurry fiily, YJrishire
Miss, and Early Charlton

Betting—Even on the Hurry Scurry filly, 5 to 1 each
agst the Eryx colt and Vesper.
Capt. Knight, Vesper, and the Hurry Scurry filly showed
in advance, but the favourite almost instantly, being in
difficulties, dropped into the rear, and the Eeyx colt took
third place. A struggle at once commenced with Captain
Knight, Vesper, and the Eryx colt, and before reaching a
quarter of a mile from the finish, the former was beaten.
At the distance the Eryx colt challenged Vesper, and for a
few strides the pair seemed to stick in the mud, and the re-
sult was for a moment in doubt. The light weight, how-
ever, soon had the best of it, and coming away, won in a
canter by six lengths, Captain Knight cantered in some
listance behind the first pair.
The winner was bought by Mr. Rossitor for 55 guineas.
