MANCHESTER.-FRIDAY,

The settling upon the events decided at Liverpool has so far
gone off satisfactorily, and, generally speaking, very harmless
to the layers of the odds ; although there were few who had
escaped laying their books against Peter Simple. Yesterday,
Defiance, for the Metropolitan, was in force at 25 to 1 ; the same
price was also taken to-day at the commencement of business,
and currently offered at the close, no one seeming inclined to
invest. Orestes, for the Derby, was backed to win a few hun-
dreds at a shade over 15 to 1 ; and Defiance had friends for the
Northampton Stakes, at 20 to 1. Upon the whole, business
was very dull. Below will be found the latest prices:—

LIVERPOOL SPRING MEETING.

fl EDNESDAY, MARCH 2

the interest which has always been taken in this meeting by
allclasses of sportsmen, was continued this year with unabated
ferour, the attendance being quite as large as usual. The
weather, after being so severe as to cause the postponement of
several race meetings, which had been fixed to have taken place
duri)g the two preceding weeks, became sufficiently mild to
allots of racing taking place, the frost having taken its depar-
ture he day previous. The day was fine throughout, but at
the cmclusion of the Steeple-chase a cold north wind set in,
whichcaused the great bulk of the spectactors to leave before
the last race was run. We subjoin a brief return :

any other. Maurice Daley first showed in advance, followed by
Bourton, and a largebody of horses. In the second field, Peter
Simple went to the front, and took up the running. At the
third fence the chapter of accidents commenced, Victress re-
fused, and disappointed The General; Betsy Prig, The INarf,
and Poll fell. Beecher's Brook was jumped by the two Peters
abreast, Crabbs going oter third, Field Marshal, Carrig, and a
large body of horses following. Along the canal side Abd el-
Kader went to the front, Crabbs at the same time passing Peter,
and was first on the race course by a hundred yards, but by Ike
time he reached the artificial brook in front of the Stand he vias
only about forty yards in front; he took this leap in splen6d
style, Crabbs following, and Carrig close to him, followed by
Bourton, Oscar, and others, not one of them making a mistabe.
Directly after, Carrig headed Crabbs, and on re-entering tie
starting field Peter Simple took the lead from Abd-el-Kadrr,
Oscar third. On again reaching Beecher's Brook, Carrig (Al
back, and left the second place with Crabbs, who was now dead
beat. At the last hurdle Peter Simple, Miss Mowbray, aad
Oscar were in the air together ; half way up the distance Oscar's
fate was sealed, and Miss Mowbray being in difficulties jest
below the stand, Peter Simple gradually drew away from her,
and was landed a gallant winner by four lengths. The pace
throughout was moderate, the time being 10min. 37i sec.
