BETTING AT MANCHESTER-YESTERDAY.

The weights for the Grand National, the Chester Cup,
and the Great Northern Handicap, all of which have
been published since Wednesday, was the general theme
of conversation and discussion to-day. The Grand Na-
tional seems to give general satisfaction, but as regards
the Chester Cup and Great Northern Handicaps, such is
the disparity between the two, that one or the other
must necessarily give dissatisfaction, but which of the two
is so doomed, the future betting and acceptances are best
calculated to denote. As regards the Great Northern
little or no betting has hitherto been done upon it, con-
sequently the market stands little affected as yet, but
heavy investments have unquestionably been made upon
the Chaster Cup, nor has the appearance of the weights
produced any great consternation amongst those who
have invested largely, with the exception of the backers
of Virago, she now being considered completely out of
the race. A general opinion prevails that there would
not have been much occasion to fear had she been han-
dicapped at 61b. less—in other respects the handicap has
had no effect upon the betting, except to bring more
prominently into favour those who had for some time
previously headed the list. Ruby, for the Derby, would
have been backed for money at 25 to 1.
