BETTING AT MANCHESTER—WEDrmsDay.

The Subscription Rooms to-day were again thinly at-
tended, and the only noteworthy features of the business
were the " knocking out" of Grinder for the Northampton-
shire Stakes, and the further decline of Breadalbane for the
Two Thousand Guineas. Nothing was done on the
Derby. Closing prices :

WARWICK SPRING MEETING—WEDNEspAr.

A continuance of the winter weather produced a smaller
attendance, but the sport was of a better order. The Two-
Year-Old Stakes brought out a large field of candidates for
future fame, among them Qui Vive and Proserpine the most
conspicuous, though Alberta, a slashing King Tom filly
with fine action, found many admirers. After a delay of
five and thirty minutes they got off, and the first hundred
yards decided the, issue of the race, the favourite Qui Vivo
getting quickly ..on his legs, and, with the exception of
Proserpina, who kept up with him for a short distance,
literally ir
running away from his field. The Great War-
wickshire Handicap only had five starters, and Stanton,
reversing her yesterday's running, defeated old Gibraltar
after a race between the two from the entrance of the
straight by three lengths. The snow had been threaten-
ing all the morning came on heavily just previous to the
race for the Union Hunt Cup, and it was with some diffi-
culty the colours of the jockeys could be made out from
the Stand. It was won with great ease by the favourite,
Little Goy. Princess Dagmax bolted with her rider, Murray,
before the Selling Race, and, jumping a gate at the bottom
of the course, flung him heavily. He was, of course, se-
verely shaken, but no bones were broken. The Hurdle
brought the afternoon's sport to a conclusion in better
weather, with a prospect of its lasting.
The Debdale Stakes of 5 sous each, with 25 added, for
horses carrying 12st each, that have been regularly and
fairly hunted. Winners extra ; with certain allow-
ances. Two miles. 6 subs.

and trotted in the winner by two distances; Constancy,

the straight, and walked in.

professionals extra; winners extra. One mile. 6 subs.

Betting-2 to lon Qui Vive, sto 1 agst Proserpina, 7to
1 agst Alberta, 20 to 1 agst Merry Lass, and 100 to 3 agst
Jessamine.

In taking her preliminary canter the last named unhorsed
her rider, and ran into the town, but was brought back, and
shortly after joined her horses at the post. Upwards of
half an hour was lost before Mr. M‘George could get them
in anything like order. At last an opportunity presented
itself, and they left the starter, widely spread, Proserpine,
on the inside, having slightly the best of it, the favourite
lying on the right, on the outside of whom were Tinder,
Life Guardsman, Ele Ole, Harriet, and Jessamine, the others
lying close in their wake. The leading division retained
their relative positions to the distance, where Custanco
brought up the favourite, and in the next few strides he
headed Proserpine and came on with a clear lead, which
he increased as he came along, and won in a canter by
three lengths ; Variety finished a bad third a length in ad-
vance of Ele-Ole, Sweet Anne, Life Guardsman, Cynthia
colt, Jessamine, and Tinder, who finished abreast. The
last three were Gussie, Albeit, and Merry Lass—the latter
having been left at the post.

and sif declared, with 100 added; winners extra; the
