NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING.
THURSDAY.

The decision on the disputed race for the Cambridgeshire
was this morning given by the stewards of the Jockey
Club, and Catch'em-Alive declared to be the winner, Lord
Westmoreland bowing to this sentence, and withdrawing
his objection. We trust, therefore, that the matter is now
at rest, and though we cannot compliment the authorities
at what is termed '' the head-quarters" of the turf on the
way in which the general arrangements of weighing, &c.,
are conducted there, we hope that, public attention having
been directed to the subject, we may hear no more of a
laxity of proceeding that would have brought discredit, if
not ruin, on a provincial meeting.
The D. I. Course always affords an interesting race, as
being a distance likely to try the powers of the horses en-
gaged. To-day Baron Rothschild's top weight Wingrave
made a good race of it with Mr. Saxon's Sweet Willie, the
former winning by a neck. Almack repeated his Tuesday's
performance by easily cutting down the horses in the Han-
dicap Sweepstakes, for which King of Utopia was made a
warm favourite.

It was thought that Carnival with Bst on him was a safe
investment, but the winner turned up in the Giraffe colt,
who ran close up in the Cambridgeshire, thereby proving
the aunt acy of the running in that race.
The remaining races call for no particular comment. A
dead heat between Country Maid and Lady Derby for the
Selling Handicap, the deciding one being won by Lord
Westmoreland's filly; and Fanfaron's easy defeat of
Tolurno in their match over the last mile and a half of the
Cesarewirch. Course, wound up the day's racing.
The approaching sale of the whole of Lord Stamford's
racing stud was announced this morning.
