LATEST BETTING IN MANCHESTER

FRIDAY EVENING—The die is cast ! The prophets
are out of it—barring the ghost of Agrippa in the Chester
Cup chart—and his prediction was a " clipper." Intre-
pid first, and St. Lawrence second. Start not, worthy
reader, when we say that we have never, in full four
month's daily speculation, seen occasion to add to our
weekly price current (even by accident) this " half-bred"
—this much overlooked son of Accident. The Corinthian
and the humble speculators being stilt to tho
'racing on the banks of the Dee, we have not a figure to
offer. In the ring, after the St. Leger, yesterday, The
Libel was backed (previously laid against for the double
event at 3,000 to 20) at 1,000 to 50, 1,300 to 100, 1.400 to
100 twice, the taker willing to " go on." 1,000 to 25 agst
Clear-the-way ; 18 to 1 was wanted on Pantasa; 10 to
1 offered agst Weatherbit ; 20 to 1 agst Old England.
Previous to this race 2 to 1 was taken on Idas ; 12 to 1
on Forth's lot; 25 to 1 on Old England ; 5 to 1 was taken
on Day's lot ; 15 to 1 on Pam : 33 to 1 on Ironmaster.
Doleful, Young Eclipse, and the Laird-o'-Cockpen, all
stood at 40 to 1 ; Kedger at 50 to 1.

3 to 1 agst Kent's lot

ALICE HAWTHORN AND BEESWING•—AIice has run
61 races and won 481, amounting to £7,-176 ; Beeswing
ran 63 races, of which she won 50, value, exclusive of the
waggon, £6,891.

EXTRAORDINARYRUNNING MATCH AGAINST TIME.
Some time since an officer in the Guards laid the odds of
£2OO to £lOO with Mr. Bragg, the proprietor of the North
Star Inn, at Slough, that he could not produce a man on
Friday, the 16th of May, who would run twenty miles
within two hours. Mr. Bragg has had four or five cele-
brated pedestrians in training ever since the bet was made,
he not being compelled, according to the articles of the
match, to name the man until he is brought to the post
to start. The celebrated runner known as the North
Star will, it is expected, be the party selected to attempt
the feat, which, if accomplished, will be one of the most
extraordinary undertakings ever attempted. The match
will come off in the immediate neighbourhood of Slough.
Betting, at present, is 5 to 3, aild 2 to 1, on time.

EXCITING YACHT RACE.—A very interesting match
took place, on Saturday, on the Thames, for the Belvidere
cup, value 120 guineas. The distance was about sixty
miles. The names of the contending boats were the Bel-
videre, (which belongs to the Mersey Yacht Club,) Lord
A. Paget ; Antagonist, H. Gunston, Esq.; Prima Donna,
C. R. Tatham, Esq. ; Champion, T. P. Wickham, Esq ;
Ino, T. Meeson, Esq. ; Blue Belle, T. Dodges, Esq.;
Mvstery, Viscount Seaham ; Widgeon, T. E. Snook,
Esq. ; and Cygnet, B. N. Williams, Esq. The boats bad
to sail from Erith off South end back to Greenwich. The
fleet went off in gallant style, with the wind right aft.
The Belvidere first rounded the point at eleven minutes
past two • The Mystery followed immediately afterwards;
The Blue' Belle was one minute in the rear, and the Ino
followed. The fleet had to come back against wind and
tide, c:nd the sport was most admirable and exciting.
The first yacht that arrived at Greenwich was the Blue
Belle, the next was the Belvidere, thirteen minutes after-
wards. Then came the Mystery, some distance in the
rear; the Champion and Prima Donna followed. The
rest did not arrive in time to be placed by the umpire.
