BETTING AT MANCHESTER.-TUESDAY.

For toe 2,000 Guineas Stakes, Fly-by-Night, who
has for some time been very unAeady in the betting,
stiff, red a rapid decline, 75 to 20,100 to 20, and 50 to
10 being, laid in the order name,' against him ; 100 to
30 -was offered against Yellow Jack, layers of 7 to 2
e.,uld readily be accommodated. For the Chester Cup
Epaininondas was in most demand, 25 to 1 being taken
ral her freely—in one instance 230 to 10 was laid, but
although it was the last bet we saw booked, we consider
it over the market price ; 400 to 10 was laid once against
Coroner ; Yellow Jack would have been backed at 40
to 1. For the Derby Wentworth was backed to win a
tolerable sum at 7 to 1, and 15 to 1 was taken freely
about Rogerthorpe, who, at the close, had no friends
at 16 to 1, which price was offered in " ponies" without
a response; as much as 100 to 8 was laid against Fly-
by-Night, who for this event as well as the 2,000
Guineas Stakes, seemed very "fishy." A few investments
were made upon the City and Suburban Handicap, and
the Liverpool Grand National Steeplechase. Closing

the spirited C.C. of Epsom :
TO THE LICENSED VICTUALLERS OP THE METROPOLIS.
The Great Metropolitan Stakes was established in the
year 1846, principally by the exertions of the late
lamented Mr. S. P. Beaton, who in 3849 suggested, as
conditions of the race, that in future the winner should
pay the sum of 16 guineas to the Licensed Victuallers'
School, thus widely tasking known the inestimable bene-
ill s of these two noble establishments, and creating the
following life governors, viz., in

Asylum. School.
1849—Sir Joseph Hawley, Bart £lO 10 £lO 10
1850—Hon. General Anson lO 10 10 10

1854—Mr. Padwick.
1855—The Earl of Zetland.... lO 10 10 10
In 1851 another race was started, at the suggestion of
the same gentleman, called the City and Suburban Han-
dicap, a condition of which was, that the winner should
subscribe ten guineas to the funds of the Licensed Vic-
tuallers' Protection Society, which sum has been an-
nually paid since that time by the following gentlemen,
viz. :

1851 The Earl of Eglinton ..... XIO 10
1852 Mr. Henry
1853 Mr: Oliver lO 10
1854 Mr. Padwick
1855 Mr. H. Hill

It will be seen by this statement that one hundred
and ninety guineas have been given to these valuable
lustitutimns during the last seven years from the Metro-
politan Fund ; and it is proposed to continue these nab-
,oriptions in the present year 1856, and so. loag as the
Licensed Victuallers shall continue to give their sup.
