'SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER—FRIDAY.
For the Grand National Steeplechase, the principal
feature was the support given to Brunette ; a fair amount
was done oa the other horses quoted; but The Dane ap-
peared quite friendless. Hubert was backed for both the
Two Thousand Guineas Stakes and the Derby very freely ;
for the latter offers were made to take 23 to 1 in hundreds.
There was little done on the Chester Cup; Agag, Zodiac,
the Vest Colt, and Weasel had each their friends; 20 to 1
would have been taken about either of the first two, and
100 to 5 each was taken in one bet against the four. For
the Northamptonshire Stakes, Rapparee was in great force,
but we saw nothing less than 12 to 1 taken.—Closing

OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE EIGHT-OARED

RACE

Although at each University for some time past the
authorities have been at work endeavouring to pitch upon
the best men to row in the University Race at Easter, it is
not till within the last week that anything at all like deci-
sion has been arrived at. Below we give the names of
those now rowing; and as time will soon compel a
final choice, and training proper must now begin in earnest,
we shall not look to see many further changes. We
thought to have given the present weights of the men for
after comparison with the result of five or six weeks' train-
ing, which, we believe, is a matter of interest with many;
and we accordingly made application to the respective pre- j
sidents for the information, but, unfortunately, our letters
most likely miscarried.

The race will be rowed, as usual, from Putney to West-
minster, on Saturday, the 12th of April ; and as we hear
that the price of the steamboats has been most judiciously
raised by the the company, there is great hope that there
will not be F o great a number afloat.
