SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER-YESTERDAY.

There was a large attendance at the Subscription Rooms
this day, and betting on the Liverpool Steeplechase was
both heavy and important. Emblematic was firm at 7 to
1, but Emblem was also backed in good quarters, at 22 to
1. Arbury was freely supported, Bto 1 being taken as
long as that price was obtainable ; and L'Africain, not-
withstanding his peculiar performance at Derby, in the
Midland Steeplechase, was in great request, opening at
100 to 6, and closing at Bto 1 (taken freely). Tony
Lumpkiia, although not backed for large amounts, was steady
of 100 to 9 ; and Lightheart and Joe Maley had supporters
at 100 to 6 each, that figure being offered against Jerry.
There was a commission in the market for Alcibiade, but
less than 25 to I was not taken about him. At 100 to 3
Princess Dagmar was freely backed, and that price, after 28
to 1 had been accepted to small sums, was taken about
Meanwood. The most noticeable feature, however, in the
afternoon's betting, was the transactions in connection with
Stanton, who was backed to win at least £25,000, £20,000
of that amount going into two hands. Finally, 33 to 1 was
the highest offer against Stanton. Closing prices :

WEST DRAYTON RACES-FRIDAY.

A brilliant spring morning preceded the commencement
of the racing on the second day at this meeting, which

vided by Mr. Topham, will be run ,off next week. The
sensation movements were the advance of L'Africain, not-
withstanding his defeat on Thursday in the Great Midland
Steeplechase, to 11 to 1 taken in several instances. Stanton
advanced to 100 to 7, which was taken five times, but sub-
sequently receded to 25 to 1, offered. The afternoon's
