SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER.—TnEsDAT.
On Satur4y 1,000 to 25 was eaken about Torn for the
Chester Cup, and 1,000 to 30 about 31.aNyas for the
berby. Scythian has been frequently introduced, and
would have been backed at 40 to 1 for money.
To-day there was a good attendance at the Post-office
Hotel, and things bore a business-like aspect. Virago
was again unmistakeably in demand, and backed for all
the money that could be got on, at 33 to 1, and again
closed at 30 to •1, ; Catspaw (a stable companion of
Virago) also receives support at any advance upon 50
to 1. Honeysuckle, for the Derby, was backed to win
a few thousands at 66 to 1 ; and even 501. was laid that
Scott's lot and Ornoo beat the field for the Oaks. Miss
Mowbray was nominally at 8 to 1 for the Liverpool
Steeplechase. Although the list of quotations, as given
below, is rather lengthy, nothing of importance trans-
pired beyond what we have already mentioned.
