MANCHESTER-TUESDAY EVENING.

The attendance was decidedly good this forenoon ; several
influential parties being present, and a strong disposition exhi-
bited to ba'k four or five horses for the important cup race of
the 3d of May, had the fieldsmen being a little more liberal in
their offers. Commencing with the present premier, viz.
Gallipot, 8 to 1, and then si was offered, it increased to 9
to I. An offer was made to lay 500 he beats Queen Bee, who,
at the opening, was decidedly second favourite, 11 to 1 being
ccepted, with offers to lay 100 she beats ally thing bar
Gallipot, or any three in the race for a hundred each. It was
clear to us that Gibraltar had influential friends in the room.
An offer to lay 100 to 7, bar 2, found a willing acceptor.
Gibraltar was named, which places him unquestionably
third favourite; we did not hear Bloomsbury backed, but
place him, out of courtesy, fourth. After 100 to 7 was ac-
cepted on Gibraltar, we heard one 100 to 8 offered, but so
cautious were the capitalists to give a chance away, that
several confined their bids to 1,000 to 100. Previously, an
offer was made to take 600 to 400 he beats anything in the
race. Two or three parties were desirous of obtaining 100
to 5 on Retriever, Bedford, Cruiskeen, Tuly, or the Plover ;
against the last-named horse it was once laid, but the top offer
became our quotation. Ernest the First would have been
supported at 25 to 1, five points less was offered. The same
words will apply to Champagne, whose immediate party would,
with others, have taken 500 to 20. I'm-not-aware was offered
to be backed for 100 against Humming Bird, whose price yes-
erday was 1,000 to 35 offered. 10 to 1, in ponies, was wanted
on Cruiskeen'and I etriever.

Previous to the circle quite dispersing to-day, 10 to 1 was
laid against Gallipot. The average prices ran thus :
