SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER-FRIDAY.

Although the weights for the Spring Handicaps are now
fairly before the public, speculation in this market is un-
marked by any activity, and a duller winter than the pre-
sent one has never been known in betting circles in this
city. Several large books are open on the Waterloo Cup,
and the nominations that have been entrusted for most
money are those of Lord Uffington, Messrs. H. Haywood,
Bland, Jardine, Jones, Randell, and Croft.—Betting on the
Two Thousand Guineas has been extremely limited,
Zambesi and Broomielaw being the only horses inquired
after.—For the Derby Bedminster has an upward tendency,
20 to 1 being accepted whenever obtainable. Closing

HARROW FLAT RACES AND STEEPLECHASES

FRIDAY.

The attendance, as anticipated, was immense, though the
weather was very uninviting. The course was in a most
frightful condition ; so deep and sticky, in fact, that several
horses who came to fulfil their engagements did not run at
all, and in the first two races the second animal in each event
came to grief after passing the winning-post. The heavy
nature of the ground will preclude the running proving any
guide to the future. The first race, a Handicap Plato for
three-yr-olds and upwards, had 12 starters, and after an
exciting race, though easily won, Sister Mary won by a
neck. The winner was not generally backed, but her owner
and friends took £2OO to £2O about her in one bet. The
Two-Year-Old Stakes brought six to the post, and although
the winner was backed for 50, and subsequently for "a
pony" at 4 to 1, 5 to 1 was the current offer against her.
Medicis, bought at Egham, after winning in a selling race
for the French people for 280 guineas, by Mr. Geo. Angell,
who subsequently disposed of her for a moiety of that sum,
won the Selling Stakes, and changed owners for 70 guineas.
The favourite, R. M. D., won the Harrow Steeplechase Cup,
and the final race of the day, the Harrow Steeplechase Plate,
was won by Shuttlecock. Further particulars will be found
below.

the West, Corinthian Tom, Tomfoolery, Triumpher, Lo-

John Nightingall weighed for King Cotton, but after
cantering over the course pronounced it too dangerous for
racing purposes, and withdrew, both for this race and the
Two-Year-Old Stakes.

the West, 8 to 1 each Chicquot the Jester and Queen Bee,
100 to 12 agst Deception, 10 to 1 each agst Sister Mary and
Confusion.

Queen Bee, Tomfoolery, and Sister Mary made play about
half a mile, where Sister Mary took up the running, and
with Queen Bee quitted the others, who came on flounder-
ing in the dirt a long way in the rear. Queen Beo stuck
closely to Sister Mary to the end, but never got up,' and
was beaten easily by a neck, Chicquot the Jester a bad
third, Toomfooleryfourth, Land of the West fifth, and Con-
fusion sixth. Almost immediately after passing the post
Queen Bee came down a " broadsider," but fortunately
neither jockey nor horse was injured.

the St. Anne filly. Two distances from home the Bay Rosa-
lind filly went to the front, followed by the St. Anne filly,
who challenged from tho distance, but never got up, and
was beaten a length ; two lengths separated the second and
third; and the othors pulled up. The St. Anne filly fell
after passing the post, but neither jockey nor horse was
hurt.
