SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

MANCHESTER—FRIDAY EVINING.
Since Tuesday there has been but little done. King Cole
has been backed at Bto 1, both yesterday and to-day, for the
Chester Cup, and many were desirous to take half a point
more. Harkaway is not in force ; 9to 1 may he considered
about his price (off). Van Buren, at 100 to 8, has no takers.
lon was backed, for 100 at evens to-day, against Cardinal
Puff, and against Slashing Harry ; the same party made both
engagements. Percy has been backed at 20 to 1. Zillah,
this evening, was a good deal enquired after, at 100's to 4 ;
but the layers would not go one fraction beyond 20 to I. We
may also add that, at 50 to 1, some little money was laid out
on Late Bird.
THE DERBY.—The crack, (dB to 1, was backed for a little
money to-day, and Erin-go-bragh, in ponies, at 20 to 1 ; the
Duke of Grafton's /Ether at 40, and down to 33 to 1, the
the backers laying out about £5O. Montreal was also backed
to-day, at 50's to 1, aud a brace of hundreds laid between
Erin-go-bragh and Kremlin.
It is Mr. Bowe, a publican, of Doncaster, ( and not Mr.
Bowes,) whose death will scratch the Vale of Belvoir, Delos,
and Ishmaelite, out of the Derby; for the Oaks, Quadroon,
Estelle, and Marie. But if coupled with.. other horses or
events, the engagements will remain valid.

TATTERSALL'S, THURSDAY.
That the betting to-day, if dull, was effective, may be
gathered from the positions of several horses which have for
some time been in considerable force. To begin with the
leader, we find Brother to Bay Middleton at 9to 1, offered
repeatedly, with no offers to back him under 10 to 1; passing
over Flambeau and the Dey of Algiers, who were equal
favourites at 16 to 1, and Trois and Kremlin, who were at
20 to 1 each (offered), we come to the 25 to 1 division, in
which Meunier and Erin-go-bragh will now be found, to
which they receded from 20 to 1. From this same 25 to 1
class Zimmerman was ejected, 30 to 1 having 'leen his closing
price. Bulwark was backed at 28 to 1 ; and there was some
talk about Westonian and Epidaurus, but no business done.
Valaineourt rose another five points. On the other hand,
Lord Jersey's Cain colt, said to be lame, went quite to the
outside. The following is a list of prices at the close :
