TATTERSALL'S.THURSDAY.

Llanforda and Lampedo opened at 1000 to 30 each for the
Northamptonshire Handicap, but at the close were backed at
25 to 1 each to about 30, the layers ready to go on.—Business
was dull on the Metropolitan Handicap, and an improvement
in Contentment, and a strong disposition to back Snowdon
Dunhill, the only features. Lampedo's price did not transpire.

M ANCHESTER.- FRIDAY.

Notwithstanding that the betting since Tuesday has ex•
tended over a long list of horses, no great investments have
been made. The horses which are really in force have been so
long before the bookmakers, that few can lay against them.
Defiance is very firm for the Northampton, and Contentment
for the Metropolitan Handicaps; also Lady Evelyn for the
Chester Cup, and Ethelbert for the Newmarket Handicap.
Orestes, for the Derby, is a little in force at 12 to 1; and 40 to
1 would have been taken freely about Speed the Plough. The
others mentioned below are either backed only for small sums,
or are nominally at the price quoted, which may, however, be
taken as the true state of the market.

Poor HURDLE RACE.—A foot hurdle race, between two of
the most celebrated performers—Fenwick, of Lancaster, and
Patterson, of London—came off on Monday afternoon last, in
the Eton Brocas. The distance was 200 yards, over 10 hurdles.
The race was admirably contested, both men taking their
leaps together until they reached the eighth hurdle, when
Patterson failed to clear and fell, leaving Fenwick an easy
winner. The Brocas was crowded with sporting gentlemen,
among whom were Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, and many of
the officers in garrison at Windsor.
