SPORTING NOTES.

The Liverpool Cup, which is the last race of any impor-
tance this year, will be decided on Friday. Only a very
few horses havo been Supported for this event. Lady
Ripon has held the premiership in the betting almost since
the appearance of the weights ; her getting so close to
Brown Duchess, in the Oaks, was a fluke, as both Silver-
hair and Fairwater could have beat her. Her performances
since have been very moderate. At Kelso she won four
small races, but her opponents were only platers. The only
reason, therefore, for her being first favourite is the opera-
tions of certain of the melodic gentry, who never miss lay-
ing when they catch a " greenhorn" that can fork up the
needful. The movements with regard to Russley and Sir
William reflect no credit on the agent of Mr. Merry, the
latter gentleman being one of the most upright supporters
of the turf, and who would not allow any of his horses to
remain in the market for the purpose of gambling and
getting a little out of the public. If both Russley and Sir
William reach the post the latter is sure to beat his stable
companion, notwithstanding the favour shown to the former.
Prince of Denmark goes up and down in the market like
a shuttlecock, and will sooa take his place in the outside
division. With his lenient weight he could win, if wanted.
Confidante won the Roxburgh Handicap in a canter, and
ought to have a great chance here, even with her 81b
penalty. Gabrielle d'Estrees could have won the Cam-
bridgeshire, and will beat Lady Ripon, if she represent the
French party. The old horses, including M. Phillippe,
Timandra, Remunerator, Petra, Soothsayer, Killigrew,
and Romeo, should produce the winner amongst them,
as the heavy state of the ground will just suit them.
Wildman will take a deal of beating, and Sir William,
according to his running in the City and Suburban, ought
to finish before Sawcutter, the latter of whom has super-
seded his stable companion Millionaire, who has gone
fishy within the last twenty-four hours. My advice
at the present time is to watch the movements of the
" confederacy" to-morrow and Friday, as the tone of the
market will be the best guide to those who wish to
speculate. My present impression is that either WILD-
MAN or GABRIELLE D'ESTREES will furnish the winner;
but, with a start, Sir WILLIAM will be my sole repre-
sentative. The other events aro so dependent on previous
running, that they do not require any comment from

A FRESH MAN.

BETTING AT MANCHESTEB.-TVESDAT.

For the Liverpool Cup the favourite and Russlay were
firm, and Avalanche was in fair request. M. Philippe was
again in demand, but as all sorts of prices have been laid
against him, a very small outlay is sufficient to bring him
forward. Remunerator was backed at the same time as
low as 100 to 6. Sii William receded to 26 to 1 (offered),
and Millionaire was friendless at a similar price. Closing
prices :
