SPORTING.
THE BETTING MARKET. For the Melbourne Cup Imperial is a firm favourite, 1000 to 70. having been booked on Monday, and various others have been supported at more liberal odds, though not to any extent. Calumny and Goldsborough are the reigning favourites for the Hawkesbury Handicap, the former having been backed at 5, and the latter at 6to 1. Nothing startling has occurred in connexion with the Metropolitan, the most noteworthy item being the acceptance of 330 to 300 that the winner was not picked in seven times, and the layer of the odds chose Goldsborough, Kingsbrough, Lurline, Calumny, Rose d'Amour, Sterling, and Llama. Hyperion is still in most demand for the A.J.C. Derby, and we have heard of 1000 to 100 having been taken about the Rose de Florence colt A.J.C.
