BETTING AT MANCHESTER, SATURDAY.

The Metropolitan Stakes remain without change-. The
only animal supported was Danae, and all the 4's to 1 that
could be got were taken freely. For the City and Suburban
Handicap Physician, First Lord, Thunderbolt, and Gab-
rielle d'Estrees were very fairly supported at their respec-
tive prices. East Sheen seemed a little on the wane, for
although 100 to 7 was booked, 100 to 6 was afterwards
offered. Pancake commenced the downward process, and
was stopped at 25 to 1 (taken), but 20 to 1 was offered with-
out response. Lady Clare was much inquired after, but
we saw nothing less than 25 to 1 booked about her. Meta-
dor was freely backed at 7 to 1 for the Two Thousand
Guineas, and 25 to 1 was taken about him for the Derby.
For this latter event Robin Hood, who for a day or two past,
and early to day, had always money at 30 to 1, declined
towards the close to 40 to 1 (taken and offered). For the
Chester Cup, Killigrew was firm at 20 to 1 (taken), and
there was an attempt made to back Schism, but the price
asked, 40 to 1, was more than any one seemed disposed to
lay. Butterfly receded to 20 to 1 (offered) ; 300 to 9 was
laid agst Horace ; and Wild Rose finished at 40 to 1 (of.
fared). Closing prices :
