SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

Manchester, Friday Eceniny.
Notwithstanding Mr. Mostyn's mare carries the •• top-weight"
for the Chester Cup, she appears to be more fancied every day,
especially in Liverpool; 7 and 71 to 1 having been the current
odds fur some days there; and the latter odds may be considered
the extreme of our market; for the layers naturally become
timid, when the tide runs so strongly one way. Wentworth is
also more looked after, fur 10 to 1 has found plenty of takers.
The outsiders, Chit Chat and King Cole, remain as last quoted.
To these may be added, Sir Thomas Stanley's Violet, who finds
friends at 25 to 1. For the Derby, a few offers have been made
to back D'Edgville against the Nonplus colt, at 5 to 4. The
Marquis of Westminster's colt, Richard Roe has been offered
against at 100 to 3.—The current odds against the Chester
Trades' Cup horses at all in demand, are as follow:-72 to 1
agst Birdlime, 10 to 1 agst Sylvan, 10 to 1 agst Wentworth, 10
to 1 agst Whaley, 11 to 1 agst Mersey, 11 to 1 agst Zohrab (off, )
100 to 8 agst Magician, 100 to 6 against Combat (off,) 100 to 5
a("st'Parolles. 100 to 5 ugst Chit Chat (tk,) 100 to 5 agst King

THE WATERLOO COURSING CLUB,

OVER ALTCA It, NEAR LIVERPOOL.
Oa Wednesday and Thursday, the 21st and 22d February, 1838.
" "

MR. WM. NIGHTINGALE, OF CRAVEN, JUDGE.
The entries for the Waterloo Cup and Purse are now com-
plete, and comprise some of the best dogs that the gentry of this
neighbourhood have it in their power to unkenuel. There are
32 dogs named for the Cup, and 16 fur the Purse, independently
of the Altcar Stakes fur the 16 beaten dogs in the first round for•
the Cup. The three courses cannot fail to prove an excellent
dessert, as they will afford in the whole, including first and
second
.ties, no fewer than 61 runs. From all that we can
learn, there.is every reason to expect a field day of the most
brilliant description. The following is a correct ►ist of the ap-
pointMents for two of the stakes .
