BETTING AT. MANCHESTER-MONDAY.

There was nothing done on the Two Thousand Guineas
Stakes or Derby, and very little, on the Cheater Cup. , For
the Nottingham Handicap, Furious became a. great
kvourite, and all the 7's to 2 that could be got ,were
readily taken. Calpe was also backed for this event, her
figure being 5 to 1. , The Liverpool Chase furnished more
spculation. Old Ben Roe, who has been steadily backed
fa. :cne days past, finished at 7 to 1 (taken).„ Franc.
Picard seemed to recede a little, but we saw nothing
higher than 8 to 1 booked against him.. The Emperor also
alpetued at one time to be going, but no serious demon-
stration was made. Master Begot came with a great rush,
finishing at 12 to 1 (taken), Closing prices
