BETTING AT MANCHESTER-THURSDAY.

There was very little done on anything for the future
to-day. Russley, about whom 10 to 1 was taken, was the
only horse brought into notice for Liverpool Cup. For
the Goodwood Stakes, 17 to 2 would have been taken about
Shipwreck. 8 to 1 was offered against Schism, and an offer
to take 9to 1 was declined. Starke, against whom 100 to
6 was laid yesterday, had friends to-day at 100 to 8. The
events of the day appeared to find full employment for those
present.

WORCESTER RACES.-TIIURSDAY.

The sport commenced with the Trial Stakes, for which
four " sported silk." After Curlew had won the Mile
Handicap, which be did in gallant style, the telegraph
displayed eleven runners for the great event (the Worcester
Stakes) which Von Stroom could have won in a canter.
J. Snowden immediately afterwards weighed in for Von
Stroom, amidst considerable uproar and confusion, he being
protected by policemen. The jockey, however, came up to
the reporter's room, and offered to go before the stewards
of the meeting to give an explanation, but he was not
called upon to do so, as no investigation had taken place
up to the time our report left. Some of the jockeys riding
in the race said that Snowden went on the wrong side of a
post at the top turn, when they called to him to come back ;
but Snowden said he could not stop Von Stroom, who held
the lead to the Stand, when he pulled him up.
