BETTING AT MANCHESEER.—FRIDAY,
The events of the day at Worcester took precedence
in the betting—and although many books are open upon
the Liverpool Cap, Which is the first event to be de.
cided of any note as a betting race, speculation upon it
is remarkable only for its dulness. Typee continues to
hold indisputable premiership at 4 to I—that price, how-
ever, is currently offered, while 9 to 2 is unobtainable ;
offers of 10 to 1, bar one, to money meet with no compli-
ance. Early Bird's position in the market is deserving of
special remark, as at one time, we hear, offers of 10 to 1
against him, then 100 to 8, and in one instance 100 to
7 was laid. Such proceedings give the horse a " fishy"
appearance in the betting ; that he is "shaky" there is
very little doubt, for before we left the rooms an open
offer of 100 to 6 agst him failed to tempt any one to
come to the rescue. Marchioness, the winner of the
Oaks in 1855, and in John Scott's stable, is frequently
inquired after, and supported rather freely at 100 to 6.
For the Goodwood Stakes Zeta was the only horse in
demand, and had numerous friends at 9 to 1 ; in one
instance 200 to 25 was taken. For the Goodwood Cup,
contrary to expectation, Fisherman is in bad odour, and
became friendless to 6 to 1. This horse's decline brought
Yellow Jack more prominently in the betting, Monarque
at the same time becoming more popular, who feund
friends at 100 to 15. 10 to 1. to a " pony," was booked
against Fly-by-Night for the Doncaster St. Leger. The
following are the closing prices :
