SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER—FRIDAY.
There was a good attendance at the room, but the
betting wa3 principally upon the Creston Park events.
Clydesdale was in favour for the 2,008 Guineas Stakes,
and at the close 9 to 2 was the highest offer against him.
sto 1 was taken about the Peer, 7 to 1 was of ere&
sga Toxopholite, and 10 to 1 agst Mentmore. For the
Cheater Cup, Botany was nominally at 20 to 1, and any
advance upon those odds would have been taken about
the Peer. Gammon was much inquired after, but we
did not hear an offer made against him. 100. to 7 woke
taken about Brother to Bird.on-the-Wing.
