MANCHESTER.-FRIDAY

The betting this morning was languid, though the rooms
were well attended. Cockcrow, Hothorpe, and colt out of
Dnc•an-Dhnrras's dam had most friends for the Chester Cup.
We may here mention that Nancy was not by any means in
the ascendant ; but, on the contrary, " fishy," a great many
being anxious to lay. The latest quotations are:

LINCOLN SPRING MEETING AND STEEPLE CHASES.
TUESDAY. FEB. 3.—This being the first meeting of the sea-
son for legitimate racing, there was a very large attendance of
influential speculators, desirous of witnessing the advent of
The High Sheriff, who has been backed for immense sums to
win Chester Cup : lie is trained along with Nancy, and the
easy manner in which lie won inspired his friends with increased
confidence, ,aking,. 20's to 1 freely about him for the Roodee
event. There was much dissatisfaction expressed as to the
starting in several of the races. We subjoin a return of the
principal races run on the two days :
THE TRIAL STAKES, of 7 sovs. each, with 40 added. One mile.
Mr. Pilling's br c High Sheriff, 6st 10Ib Charlton 1

added. Three miles and a half. 22 subs.

The Free Handicap Hurdle- Race was won by Bedford, beat-
ing four others; and the Hunters' Stakes by The Reiver.
WEDNESDAY, FEB. 4.—The weather was very unpropitious,
but still the attendance was large.

Mr. Wright's br c Broughton, by lago ....Charlton 1

Sister to Lizzy, Little Swift, f by Orlando, Ace of Trumps,

Lady Agnes and Lady Jersey also ran.—Won easily.

The'Serling Stakes were run for twice, Dame Tattle winning
the first time, and Edward of York the second : the race is
disputed.—The Maiden Steeple Chase was won by Little Queen.

Mr. Johnson, of York, had nothing to do with the handicap
ping at Lincoln, which has so justly been condemned.

Liverpool Grand Na-

The Maid of the
tional Steeple chase
There were seventeen false starts for the two-years-old race
at Lincoln, last week.
Mr. G. Barton has named his Lady Stafford filly Latona, and
Mr. J. Al. Stanley's brother to Orelio, first called Koh-i-noor,
is now called Orinoco.

There are 177 nominations to the Great North and South
Biennial Stakes, to be run at Goodwood and York in 1853 and
and 1854, and 98 to the Convivial Stakes, at York, in 1853.

We understand that the celebrated Harry Edwards is prepa-
ring himself for the double capacity of trainer and jockey over
Epsom Downs.
"Touchstone's" pick for the Liverpool Grand National
Steeple-chase is La Gazza Ladra, Oscar, Hardwicke, Maurice
Daly, Miss Mowbray, Silent Friend, and Victress. _

A-rirotting match 'between Mr. Birchall's Eliza and Mr. G. T.
Centh's Mountain Fox came off last Tuesday, on the Tranmere
and Chester road, for a-side, when Mr. Birchall's mare
won easily.

The following are the number of acceptances for the large
races:—Chester Cup, 130; Newmarket Handicap, 35; City
and Suburban Handicap, 29 ; Northamptonshire Stakes, 36 ;
The Flying Dutchman's Handicap, 29.
Some time ago, as two foals were being conveyed on the
London and North-western Railway, they were scalded, and

one died from the injuries. They were the property of the
Marquis of Westminster, and were being taken from his lord-
ship's stud farm, in Herefordshire, to Eaton Park. It is now
said that Lord Westminster received £2,500 from the company
for the loss of the foal (a Touchstone filly) not to prosecute
them for damages.
NANTWICH COURSING MEETING.—The Newhall (nearNant-
wich) Open Coursing Meeting, by permission of Viscount Corn-
bermere, will come off to-morrow, (Wednesday,) the stewards
being J. Moore, R. J. Jebb, R. C. Edleston, J. S. Bayley, W.
Baker, and J. Plant, Esqrs, The contests include the Corn-
bermere Cup, for eight all-aged dogs; the 'Wellington Stakes,
for eight puppies; and the Royals Stakes, for the beaten dogs.
DESCRIPTION OF NANCY.—Nancy is a dark bay or brown
filly, standing fifteen hands an inch and a half high ; she has a
plain head, set on " hatchet fashion" to a straight and strong
neck. She has good fair arms, knees, and hocks; short from
hock and knee to the ground, but not over large bone. If any-
thing, she is a little slack in the back, but has good ribs and a
fair depth of girth, with very powerful quarters, thighs, and
gaskins. She is a little high in the rump, drooping towards the
tail—a swish—which she carries rather close to her. She has
a little white on her forehead, as well as on the near side coro-
net, and is ticked with grey hairs over t

thighs, quarters,
and setting on of the tail.- At the first glance Nancy would not
strike the spectator as a very imposing looking mare; but
closer examination shows her to be possessed of great muscu-
lar power; added to which she has the further recommenda-
tion of a remarkably even good temper. In action she carries
