SPORTING INTELLIGENCE:

BETTING AT MANCHESTER.—TUESDAY.
The betting to-day was characterised more by large out-
lays of money than important chafiges in quotations. For.
the Derby 1,100 to 100 was taken about Umpire, 400 to 50
about Buccaneer, 2,000 to 30 about Blue Ruin, and 2,000
to 20 about Rising Sun. Buccaneer continues in great re-
quest for the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes ; 6 to 2, how-
ever, against him, was always obtainable daring the after-
noon. For the City and Suburban Handicap, offers of 10
to 1 (which for several days had become very common)
against Chore Amie were simultaneously closed with, until
about £lOO had been invested upon her at that figure. For
the Chester Cup 1,000 to 30 was taken about The Squire,
and a similar bet would have been taken about Longrange.
Some rather spirited wagering took place upon the Bir-
mingham Steeplechase, Heads or Tails being backed for the
most money; 6 to 1 was the current offer on the field.
