SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

MANCHESTER-TUESDAY EVENING
COURSING.

THE IIAI)DON MEETING CONCLUDED.—We gave, in our
last, the result of the diversion up (as then stated) to the
passing of the Derby mail through Bakewell; below we give
the remaining ties fwr the two principal events, as well as the
classes and deciding course fur the Granby Stakes. Other
stakes were 9n the card to. come off on Friday, but were not
touched upon, owing to the lateness of commencing Thurs-
day's sports, and the extreme wretchedness of the weather on
that day. The diversion was better on Friday, but the hares
ran feebly. The closing struggle for the Rutland Cup ex-
cited very great interest, particularly amongst the Manchester
speculators, with heavy books. It was a pretty close contest ;
in betting, Major had the call. The field each day was very
numerously attended, and the condition of many of the
grevhbands was greatly admired, reflecting much credit upon

Inc Juuge,
and gave general satisfaction in his difficult and laborious
occupatiun.

As will he expected, since the result of the Derbyshire
coursing events become known, and since the -return of a
large number of the leading turf speculators, there has been
much talking over the performances of the winning grey-
hounds, and the untoward mishaps that befell others highly
thought of. Yesterday there was a reasonable quantity of
money chanted hands; several of the backers of lots having
had Major as one of their five. He was never backed here,
we rather think, previous to the commencement of the sport,
under 10 to 1. Upon racing events very little has been
doing, and the Derby engagements have been scarcely to be
met with. The front rank remain stationary, and but seldom
asked after. Fitzambo at 25 to 1, Derrynane at 26 to 1, and
Wapiti at 100 to 3, seemed to have been most in request;
and the last-named has been touched upon rather freely.
Honeymoon bas been laid 'against at 4() to 1. This gloomy
and chilly November day is not calculated to infuse much
more spirit into the market, nor do the doings at Tattersall's
yesterday afternoon promise to act as an impetus to Derby
business. Things are evidently on the flat key.
