BETTING AT MANCHESTER.-FRIDAY.

The Craven Meeting at New-market has materially affected
the betting upon the Chester Cup and Derby. Contentment
and Defiance's performances during the week have lessened
the confidence in Trifle, against whom, although quoted here at
II to I (offered), as much as 13 to I has been laid at Newmar-
ket. Dawson's stable, which has hitherto during the present
year been dormant, is not unlikely to hold a prominent posi-
tion in the betting for the Chester Cup. In the early part of
to-day 1,000 to 10 was laid against King of Trumps, but subse-
quent to his winning the Port Stakes we think 40 to 1 would
have been taken to some money, 30 to 1 being the highest
offer ; and Peggy, his stable companion, has been in force at 40
to 1 during the last few days. Latest prices :

An accident of a serious nature took place at Ilsley a few

been adopted by Mr. Knowles. Talfourd was one of Lord
Ribblesdale's stud at the time it was disposed of to Mr. Knowles.
