SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

MANCHESTER-FRIDAY EVENING.

Although Vertumnus won the Trial Stakes at Coventry on
Wednesday, they Fay 20 to 1 agst him for the Chester event.,
nor has his stable companion advanced much, the offers being
yet 8 to 1 against King Cole, and that figure was taken to a
small sum this evening. Puff and Caravan are both better
favourites, as will be seen from our quotations, and a good
deal of money has been laid out on them. 25 to I was laid
the other day to win £7OO, against Mr. Kent's Vernal and
Lord Milltown's Argerio ; a commission, we imagine, on
Irish account. The opinion of some is that lon will not
run; at all events, 100 to 5 have been laid since Wednesday.
The following horses are most in request :

THE CHESTER CUP, P.P.
8 to 1 agst Mr. Copeland's King Cole (tk this evening)
9to 1 „ Mr. Ferguson's Harkaway (tk 94-)
12 to 1 „ Captain Healey's Van Buren (off)
124 to 1 „ Lord Westminster's Cardinal Puff (tk)
124 to 1 „ Captain Berkeley's Caravan (tk)
15 to 1 „ Sir Thomas Stanley's Cowboy
17 to 1 „ Mr. Heseltine's Slashing Harry
100 to 6 „ Captain Lamb's Chit Chat
20 to 1 „ Mr. T. Walters's Vertumnus (tk)
20 to 1 „ Mr. Topham's The Drone (tk)
20 to 1 „ Mr. Allen's Percy
23 to 1 „ Lord de Tabley names Zillah.
THE DERBY.—Yesterday 10 to 1 was laid against the
crack ; to-day they offer 91 to 1 freely ; 14 and 15 are Flam-
beau and Dey of Algiers prices ; 33 to 1 against Erin-go-
Bragh has been laid this evening to a round sum, and offers
to lay on freely extended.

tTuJ:ST

NEWTON MEETING, 1839.
Those gentlemen exclusively given to turf speculations, as
well as vast numbers of all ranks from those who glide down
the stream of " life's fretful toil," in the baronial halls of the
great and powerful of the land, as well as those who enjoy the
sweets of rural life far from the busy home of commerce, will,
we imagine, not be sorry to find that the above justly popular
Lancashire meeting holds out a rich promise of being most
attractive, with the pleasing accompaniment of capital sport.
" Comparisons" are said, Mr. Reader, to be " odious ;" how-
ever, " what will Mrs. Grundy say ?" if we just turn our eye
to the entries, as far as they have yet gone, for the races
commencing at Newton-in-the-Willows on the sth June,
and in doing so briefly show that a patronage has been ex-
tended peculiarly gratifying, as exhibiting, numerically
speaking, no trifling majority over the numbers to be found
in the pages of Weatherby of the last meeting. The Earl of
Eglinton and Robert Peel, Esq., are the stewards, and we
shall be much mistaken if, under their influential and gen-
tlemanly sway, the most flattering compliments are not given
by all classes at Newton races, 1839. The following will be
found a brief touch at the entry :
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5.
THE TRIAL STAKES, of 10 sovs each, with 25 added. The
horses to be named on Monday previous to the races, when
the entry for the Plates will be made. Subscribers,

heat " cleverly," with 5 to 2 against him.

day's sport to a close.
