SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

MANCHESTER, TUESDAY EVENING.

Either owing to the boisterous weather, or the near ap-
proach to the day _when the acceptance must be made known
for the Chester Cup, there was next to nothing accomplished
this day at noon, nor has much life since been perceptible in
the betting. The Cheshire baronet's horse, with Bst. 61b,
and the certainly favoured Cruiskeeni are decidedly the fa-
vourites ; and few will exceed by one fraction the figures
attached. Abraham Newland, King Cole, the Dey of Al-
giers, Imogene, Retriever, Tamburini, St. Bennett, Captain
Pops, George, the " Feather weight" (Colonel Peel's roan
by Augustus); Sir Ralph, Caravan, and Mr. Speed's horse,
have all to our knowledge been supported more or less. On
the other hand, Lanercost. • The Doctor, Lightfoot, The
Dean, and Malvolio, are atprssent so out of all fashion, that
their owners or trainers might have sealed the letters of
" resignation." On Friday we stated that 10 would be
given versus the field : it is requisite to state that the half-
score would now be willingly accepted in the very best quar-
ter, or 50 to 20 that five defeat the field; it was offered to be
laid at 30. The following are as near the prices as ob-
tainable :

TATTERSALL'S,,MoNDAY.
. •- Until four o'clock the room was but thinly attended, and
betting flat, its only novelty being the re-appearance of Lord
Jersey's non-favourite, Glenorchy, who was backed in four
or five quarters at 30 to 1, in tens and points. After this
hour there was a strong influx of subscribers, and business
became unusually animated. It did not close until half-past
six. The difference between the two principal favourites at
the close was very trifling ; 14 to 1 having been offered cur-
rently.against Theon during the whole of the afternoon, 16
to 1 taken about Angelica colt,. and 1000 even laid betwixt
them. We should not have been surprised had 15 to 1 been
offered on the field, to have seen Angelica 'colt taken in pre-
ference to the north country nag ; 7 to 1 about the two would
have been accepted. Bokhara was backed early in the after-
_ noonat 17 to 1, and we are informed that 2,000 to 120 was
also taken ; this bet, however, we are unable to trace.
.Launcelot opened at 18 to 1 (t), and at this price he con-
tinued until a considerable number of the subscribers had
left, after which two points more were laid :three or four
times; Confederate's party, not quite " convinced," in-
creased their investment to a considerable extent at 18 to 1,
at which quotation he commenced and finished; we believe
these odds might have been obtained at the close. Muley
Ishmael was hacked for a small sum at 20 to 1 ; and, from
the number of inquiries made we expect to see him " go-a-
head" ere long. Gambia, after a short reign, abdicated-25
to 1 was betted at the beginning, and five points more at the
end; there was a woeful falling off in the number and fond-
ness of his partisans. Ottoman, as might have been antici-
pated from the termination of the betting on Thursday last,
• canoe again" in great -force ; 25 to 1 was taken to a large
amount, and when we left it was a question if any one would
have laid so much againA him by a couple of points. There
was no other change in this: race beyond the decline of
Assassin to his old position, nor was anything [done on the
Oaks worth dwelling on.
