BETTING AT MANCHESTER, THURSDAY.
For the Ebor Handicap, in consequence of the perfor•
mance at Egham yesterday for her Majesty's Guineas,
Defender, with very little money being put on him, was at
4 to 1 (taken), and he was, with the exception of a little
support given to Moorhen and Tyrant, the only animal
backed. Underhand has not recovered from his depression
of yesterday, and to• day Gladiolus seems very likely to
keep him company, 100 to 7 being offered against him.
For the St. Leger, 10 to 3 was taken against ThormanbYt
and 4 to 1, to £lOO, was taken about the Wizard, and 20
ponies were taken against St. Albans.—Closing prices :--

EBOR HANDICAP.—YOUATT WM. GRAY requests that
his subscribers will not speculate on the Ebor Handicap
until they receive his next advice. A trial took place yes-
terday at —, and the horse he now recommends beat two
of the best trial horses out this season. He is so confident
of the result that, in the event of the horse he recommends
being beaten, he will return the money paid for advice.
Underhand was selected last year when at 33 to 1. The
acceptance is very small this year, consequently the prices
are less, but independent of this 100 to 6 can be obtained.
Terms for advice to the end of the season, 155.; to the St.
Leger, 7s. 6d. ; the York Meeting, 2s. 6d , and per centage•
Address 15, Charing-cross, London. •
