SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

MANCHESTER--TUESDAY EVENING.
The attendance this morning was highly respectable
and numerous.

TIIE CHESTER CUP.—A very singular alteration pre-
sents itself to the reader's eye in Plover being first fa-
vourite. It may be doubted by some, however. Accord..

terday at 500 to 42.
