SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER ON FRIDAY.
Great Northern—Virago was backed for all that
could be got on at evens against the field. Lough Bawn
and Typee alone found backers at the quotations, while
Aguila, Defiance, Heapy and West Australian were
freely offered against. The only horse backed fir the
Flying Dutchman's Handicap was Alonzo; the taker
would have gone on at the price quoted. Two Thousand
Guineas-6 to 4 was freely taken against Boiardo, and
12 to 1 against Marble Hill. Ruby and Champagne out
of favour. The Derby—Dervish was decidedly most in
favour, and was backed to a large amount, 7 to 1 not
being obtainable at the close. The investments on the
other favourites were in small sums.
