TATTERSALL'S, YESTERDAY.

The opening of the International Exhibition appeared to
possess greater attractions for the members this afternoon
than speculating upon the Two Thousand Guineas. The
room presented but a poor appearance, and the business
transacted upon the principal event in the next week's pro-
gramme was extremely " fiat, stale, and unprofitable." In.
fact, the equivocal character of the betting upon The
Guineas throughout has thrown such a shade of doubt and
uncertainty around it that the public have in a great Irma-
sure refrained from following their fancies, which "will ac.
count for the paucity of our return.

The only feature that presented itself during the after-
noon was the anxiety evinced by a ;;lever division to get on
Alvediston ; his opening price waving been quietly taken, he
speedily was made as good a favourite as anything, and at
the close we should sa,--f he had the call of The Marquis for
money, sto 1 Ining taken about each. Caterer was ex •
tremely firm , and anything over his quoted price would
have fcir...nd a ready customer in the si able representatives.
No",:ingham, who has been sadly knocked about in the
market, appeared this afternoon in a little better odour, 9 to
1 being his highest price offered, and a point more would
have found plenty of backers, at which price the Baron's
' colt was supported. Old Calabar has rapidly fallen from his
high estate, and become-one of the outside division, 100 to
8 being repeatedly tendered, without one of his old admirers
having the courage to invest. The only other mentioned
sc, Mr. Gratwicks colt Instructor, about whom 25 to 1 was
taken in small amounts.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER, THURSDAY.

The Two Thousand Guinea Stakes is once more in the
ascendant, and The Marquis was very firm. There were
plenty of offers to take 5 to 1, and towards the close an
offer of 9 to 2 was not responded to. 12 to 1 was the
0.8.1.0 k QLI ralahar. hut we heard no taking
price named. For the Derby, 20 to 1 was asked for against
Zetland. The only change that we have to remark in the
speculation on the Chester Cup was the ad% ante of Simla
to 100 to 8 (taken), and the apparent retirement of Carac-
tacus, 500 to 5 being laid and offered. Closing prices :
