TATTERSALL'S.—MospsY.

The movements •in the City during the morning pre-
pared speculators for the changes in the betting which were
made at the Corner in the afternoon. The first two favourites
for the Liverpool Cup were very firm at the odds quoted.
Russley was advanced to 100 to 8, whilst odds were offered
against the starting of his stable companion, Sir William.
Wildman, who was backed in London on Saturday with
some freedom, and about whom much mystery was observed
in certain quarters, was supported at 12 to 1, notwithstand-
ing the fact that in the Manchester market as much as 50
to 1 was, it is reported, laid against him at the close of last
week. Of Mr. Hughes's lot, M. Philippe only was backed,
and his partisans did not seem to have great confidence in
the ultimate profit of their investments. The betting on
the Two Thousand and Derby does not require comment.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER..-MONDAY.

There was very little done on the Liverpool Cup to-day.
Lady Ripon was supported at 11 to 2, and any slight ad
vance would have been taken freely. Besides her ladyship
there was nothing in force. Millionaire had friends at
100 to 7, and Sir William at 100 to 5. Towards the close
there was an offer to take 100 to 7 about Wildman and 100
to 6 against Petra, which could not be got, although both
prices had been offered during the day. Closing prices

RACE FOR THE SIX-MILE CHAMPION'S

BELT OF EIV GLAND.

The racebetween Edward Mills, of Hackney, the
holder of the Six-miles' Challenge Champion Belt,
and John Brighton, of Norwich (the challenger), the
latter being also the four-miles' champion, came off
yesterday in the grounds of Hackney-wick. Brigh-
ton is celebrated for his speed, and at four miles has
not yet had a competitor to wrest the palm from
him. The race yesterday, up to a certain distance,
would scarcely be believed by those unaccustomed
to pedestrian matches ; the first two miles were
run at the rate of close upon 13 miles per
hour. For the six miles the competitors
had to make 41 circuits of the course. An
official referee and timekeeper having been ap-
pointed, the signal to start, by word of mouth,
was given, when Mills dashed to the front at a
great rate, Brighton at his right shoulder. The
latter passed his opponent before the second round,
when Mills again shot ahead, and made the pace,
fast as it was, " still faster." Brighton, not to be
denied, once more went in front, and finished the
mile in 4 min. 44 sec., amidst loud cheers. On com-
mencing the second mile Mills again went in front,
and increased the astonishing speed they were still
going at, as if it were a race of only 600 yards in-
stead of six miles, and so they continued for another
half mile, when Brighton once more obtained the
lead, but could not hold it long, for Mills, amidst
increasing cheers, almost flew past him, led by four
yards at the eleventh round, increased itto 12 yards
in the twelfth, and finished the two miles in 9 min.
52 sec., 30 yards in front. By
many it wasthought
the race was over; but Brighton, who evidently
when
outpaced, was not to be shakenhe Go in each succeed-
ff without a severe
