SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

MANCHESTER.-FRIDAY

Yesterday, as if it were to keep up the excitement, a little
more novelty in the betting upon the Northumberland Plate
was introduced. Chief Justice, who has for some time past
received much public support, receded in a very short time
from 13 to 2 to 15 to I (offered), the same price being obtain-
able in the evening; the consequence was a slight advance of
both Goldfinder and Colsterdale to 9to 2 each. St. Michael,
who has been a coming horse all the week, was backed at all
prices from 100 to 8 to Bto 1. Today the Northumberland
Plate was again the uppermost question, and Goorkah. the
lion of the day, opened at 9 to 1, and closed at 6 to 1, at which
price he was backed to win a fair amount. Just before the
breaking up, St. Michael came into force at 7 to I ; Chief
Justice had no friends at anything like a reasonable price,
15 to 1 being currently offered. 3to 1 would have been taken
about Little Harry for the Goodwood Stakes to some money.
The following is the latest betting:—
