BETTING AT MANCHESTER-SATURDAY.

For the Northamptonshire Stakes Prince Plausible was
not so firm. Rapparee was in much better odour, and 11
to 1 would have been taken freely. 15 to 1 was taken about
Schism, and 100 to 6 about Dusk, with every appearance of
seeing a much less figure.—For the Chester Cup, 20 to 1
was wanted about Hadji Stavros, but less was refused. 25
to 1 was offered against Black Prince, but an offer to take
100 to 3 was not responded to.—For the City and Subur-
ban, both Camerino and Ducat had supporters at 20 to 1,
but 100 to 6 in each case was declined.—For the Two Thou-
sand Guineas and the Derby, there is little chraige ; six
fifties were taken against The Marquis for the former, and
11 to 1 would have been taken against Old Calabar for the
latter. Hubert did not appear to be so firm for either event.

METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS.

The ordinary weekly meeting of this board was held
yesterday at the offices in Spring-gardens—Mr. J. Thwaites,
the chairman, presiding.

The cish statement showed that the balances in the hands
of the treasurer were, on current accounts, £110,988 76 10d ;
on deposit accounts, £33,000 ; and on Government securi-
ties, £68,813 17s sd.

THE METROPOLIS LOCAL MANAGEMENT ACT ININDY-ENT

BILL.

Mr, Pollard, the clerk to tiTboard, read a series of rea-
sons, drawn up by the board, against the clauses proposed
by Mr. Ayrton to be introduced into the New Metropolis
Local Management Act Amendment Bill, and they were
ordered to be printed.

THE BOARD OF WORKS DEFIED.
Mr. Pollard read a letter from Mr. George Legg, district
surveyor, stating that he had summoned the builder that
erected the portico of No. 1, Wilton-place, St. George's,
Hanover-square, for making it an enclosed instead of an
open one, as permitted by the board, and that the magis,
trate had refused to inflict a fine, on the ground that the
builder had not exceeded the limits of space granted by the
board, and, therefore, it could not be a public nuisance.
A long discussion ensued urn it. Mr. Bennett urged
he
proprietyof taking the opinion of a higher tribunal, but
afeeling prevailed that the board ought to exorcise
s strong
p
er and remove the parts complained of; but ulti-
mately the matter was referred to the solicitor of the board.
After the routine business the board adjourned.
