BETTING AT MANCHESTER-TUESDAY.

The Chester Cup has not, up to the present time been suffi-
ciently tempting to induce the large bookmakers to embarkin
speculation upon the race, consequently no horse which was
not exactly a " safe one," could at present be invested upon
to win a large stake except a very low figure would be taken.
To-day Longrange was supported for £lOO at 25 to 1, without
at all improving his position, that price being offered against
him up to the close. Viatka was nibbled at at 25 to 1, and
although that is her nominal quotation, offers against her are
not by any means plentiful. Birmingham and The Brewer
were in considerable force at 40 to 1, at which price Arsenal
was invested upon. 500 to 15 was taken once about Gaspard.
For the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes Buccaneer and The
Wizard are equal avourites at 4to 1, take 9to 2 each. Lu-
pullus remains firm at any advance upon 6 tog. Umpire ap-
pears to be gradually declining, he having no friends in this
market; indeed, we do not remember to have seen him in-
trusted with a guinea these many weeks for either the Two
Thousand Guineas or The Derby. For the latter event 1009
to 20 would have been taken about the King of Diamonds,
against whom 1009 to 25 would have been laid ; not a single
transaction, however, upon this event came under our notice.
Although the weights for the Liverpool Steeplechase h
received a limited eiroulation, Xanthus was the only horse
inquired after, but what few books are opened upon this event
are upon a very small scale. In fact, upon the whole we
never remember to have observed less inclination on the part
of the leading members of the ring to gamb!e than is mani-
fested on their part at present.
