SPORTING INTL'LLIG.ENC.E.

TATTERSALL'S.—TILURSDAY.
Notwithstanding the frightful accident which occurred on
the Great Northern line on Wednesday evening, most of the
principal bookmakers, nothing daunted, left town in good
time next morning en route to Lincoln. The attendance at
"The Corner," was consequently very scanty, and business
was extremely dull. The only feature of interest was the
further decline of West Australian for the St. Leger-60 to 50
was laid five or six times against him, and still otTered at the
close. Seven fifties to two were taken about Sittingbourne ;
7 to I to a pony about Rataplan ; 10 to I to .t-'5O about The
Reiver ; and 20 to 1 to " fifteen sovereigns" about Lord Exe-
ter's lot.' Cineas was untouched. Very little was done on
the handicaps named below :-1,000 to 20 and 1,000 to 25 were
taken about King Pepin for the Cesarewitch, and Pelion was
backed for both Cesarewitch and Cam' ridgeshire at 1,000 to
30 for each. The following are the closing prices:

BETTING AT MANCHESTER.-FRIDAY

There was a very thin attendance, yet the little betting that
was none was rather spirited. West Australian, for the St.
Leger, was backed at evens against the field for about .else ;
4to I was wanted about Sittingbourne. For the Leamington
Stakes Scar crow was in demand, opening at 5 to land clos-
ing at 7 to 2 (offered)-400 to 100 was taken in one bet ; and
The Friar, who has been a coming horse during the last few
days, was firm at 5 to I (takers); Doubt is much on the de-
cline.-- The appearance of the weights for the Cesarewitch
and Cambridgeshire Stakes has not much improved specula-
tion as yet, nor do they present anything very striking ueyond
that the extinguisher has been put on all those horses that
had previously figured in the betting, which is not much to
be wondered at ; and, upon the whole. as far as appearances
go at present, we have no doubt that the two handicaps will
turn out to be very successful. Latest prices :
