BETTING AT MANCHESTER— YESTERDAY .
Considering that there was no less than three race
meetings on to-day, there was a tolarable attendance at
the Post-office Hotel, and notwithstanding that Heapy,
for the Ebor Handicap, was in great force at Tattersall's
on Monday—at 4to 1 taken freely—he did not travel
so well in this market to-day, sto 1 being currently of-
fered, and at one time a gentleman left himself open to
lay 600 to 100 ; and although that was the taking price
at the close, we are inclined to Wok that it could have
been obtained to a sum. We have observed a disposi•
tion .to back his stable companion, Grand Inquisitor.
There are several books already open upon the Cesare-
witch and Cambridge Stakes, and for the former event
Balrownie and the Star of Surrey have received c .nsi-
derable supribiti Siic ponies were taken once about the
Trapper for the St. Leger, and 14 to 1 was taken freely
about Dirk Hatteraick for the Derby next year. The
