SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

MANCHESTER, TUESDAY EvarctNo.
Since the return of a very large majority of the turf
r:entlernen from Chester and Newmarket Races, last
week, the most important— feature of the proceedings
has been the settling. The books over the cup event
were particularly heavy, and the settling has been
Weighty. At.may be considered to have passed over so
far tolerably well; but it will take some days more to
see the absolute, result. We have two or three ex-
tremely good winners, whilst some of our influential round
betters are no gainers-by the long-looked. for race. It ap-
pears the little men, undloackers of horses, suffer rather
more than common,, as the *inner was not the horse to
their mind. Cowboy, Melbourne, Dawson's horses, Cruis-
keen, Pops, or even the top-weight Lanercost, would have
suited them far better. •It remains for us simply to notice
the debut of
