THE MANCHESTER MARKET.

For the Derby, after the slight demonstrations against
Lord Lyon in the early part of the week, he has been de-
cidedly the favourite ; 9 to 4 has been accepted in a few
instances, and 5 to :2 would have been taken to large
amounts if it could have been obtained. Rustic finished
to-day by all the 3s to 1 being taken that could be ob-
tained. Redan is very firm ; 10 to 1 is offered, but the
layers are careful not to exceed that. Vespasian and the
Bribery Colt (now I believe named Nottingham) have
been, during the week, freely backed, 100 to 7 being booked
about each of them. Blue Riband, Monarch of the Glen,
and Knight of the Crescent have each been much inquired
about, and 30 to 1 would have been taken about any of
them, but the general offers of 25 to 1 have been declined.
The Great Northern Handicap seems likely to be a specu-
lative affair from the number of horses which are considered
to have a chance. From the reports of betting from tho
south Redcap should be the favourite, but he is not in
great demand here ; 8 to 1 is the least we have seen booked
and could have been obtained at the close. All the books
that were opened were taken about Regalia„ the commis-
sioner wishing to go on, and there seemed plenty of money
for Windham at 7 to 1. Cathedral, Friday, and Harry
Brailsford have every appearance of seeing a shorter figure.
Dalby was very quiet.
Nothing dono on the Bath and Somerset events.

THE MARYLE BONE CLUB.
SPECIAL MEETING AND ANNIVERSARY DINNER.
The 79th anniversary of the M. C. C. was held at the
Pavilion at Lord's, on Wednesday last, May 2. Previous
to the dinner, a general special meeting of the club took
place, at which the honorary secretary brought forward cer-
tain proposals for the purchase of the freehold of Lord's
Ground, from Mr. Marsden, which were unanimously
adopted. The members then proceeded to ballot for sixty-
three candidates, who were all elected, and the club now
numbers 980 members.

At half-past seven o'clock the chair was taken by
Lord Ebury, and the company sat down to an excellent
dinner, the arrangements for which bad been
confided to Mr. John Day, of the Tavern,
Lord's Ground, and too much praise cannot be
given to him for the tasteful appropriateness
in which the dining-table was decorated, and the excel-
lence of the viands. In the centre of the table was placed
a large epergne filled with choice flowers of red and amber
hues—the colours of M. O. C. This was well "backed
up" on one side with another fragrant batch tastefully dis-
playing the well-known "red, black, and gold" of I Zin-
gari. Opposite that was another epergne containing a
bouquet formed of the Household Brigade's colours—" red
and blue ;" and yet another epergne held florals ingeniously
delineating the blue and yellow of the Cambridge Quid_
nuncs. The originality and taste of all this were well
equalled by the excellence of the viands and high character
of the wines, which included among other choice liquids
Madeira bottled in 1792, claret of 1844, and port of the
vintages of 1815 (more than half a century old, just think
of that, Mr. Brook), 1827, 1831, 1810, 1844, 1817, 1850
and 1851. In fact, the catering of Mr. John Day elicited
a marked and deserved compliment from the members
present.
The CHAIRMAN, after dinner, gave the usual toasts, and
in due time came to the old and time-honoured toast of the
evening, " Cricket, and Success to the M. C. C.," coupling
with with it the name of the secretary. Mr. Fitzgerald,
having replied to the toast, read a report of the committee
on the doings of the past year. It showed a most
satisfactory issue, a large balance remaining at the
banker's after the extraordinary expenses incurred in re-
building the pavilion and improving the ground. Mr. Fitz-
gerald also stated that £B,OOO had been paid Mr. Dark off
the .£11,003 purchase-money. The report was adopted
" nem. con.," and the secretary resumed his seat amidst
much applause.
The Hon. F. PONSONBY then proposed the health of Lord
Ebury, who had so ably filled the dace of president for
1666 i d his lordahip, to returning thank; laid that he
