SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

MANCHESTER, FRIDAY EVENING.
The attractive list for the Croxton Park Meeting, which
commenced yesterday, has drawn a few of our influential
speculators to that gay circle ; consequently, both yesterday
and to-day business has been of a lukewarm character. With
two or three exceptions, the Chester Cup quotations will be
found the same as on Tuesday ; these are Mr. Meiklam's
horses. It may be remembered, that we noticed The Drone
as become one of the above gentleman's stud. On Wednes-
day, he was backed by a well-known Nimrod, (professionally)
en route from Warwick to the north, for a good stake at 20
to 1 ; and also Modesty from that figure to four points less.
He also laid 1000 to 800 between the mare and lon, and
-would have gone on. Eaglet has also been in better force-
-20 to 1 having been repeatedly taken. As near as can be
gleaned, the average of the market may be considered as fol-
lows :

THE DERBY.
There has not been an engagement to-day worthy of remark

TATTERSALL'S, THURSDAY.
To-day may, without fear, he put down as the dullest day
,of the season. Not half a dozen bets were made up to half-
past five o'clock, and after that the improvement was very
slight. The changes resulting from the little business trans-
acted may be disposed of in a few words. Brother to Bay
Middleton was backed at 8 to 1, and the Dey of Algiers at
15 to 1, a point less than was betted against Flambeau ; no-
thing was done on Kremlin. Tros was a point worse than
on Monday, and Zimmerman about the same ; the only horse
that advanced to an extent was Melbourne, who was backed
in good quarters at 40 to 1. Chilson, winner of the Trial
Stakes at Warwick on Wednesday, was introduced at 50 to
1 ; but the character of the field (a large one) defeated by him
does not seem to have been very high, as no one offered to
take less than 1000 to 15. ;We subjoin the odds against such
of the favourites as were brought under notice.
