WEDNESDAY'S RACES.

The completion of the settlement on the Cambridge-
shire Stakes commenced yesterday, and (postponed from
the early hour at which the members of the ring were
summoned to the course) was accomplished with general
satisfaction this morning, and this, with the sales by
Messrs. Tattersall, occupied attention till the sportscom-
menced at one. It was pretty generally known that the
inquiry into the Ratan affair had been closed, and the
report drawn up. The result is to be reported to the
members of the Jockey Club this evening, and will, no
doubt, receive early publicity. The morning was lower-
ing, and the weather throughout the day dull ; but the
abundance of racing produced a sufficient degree of ex-
citement to " keep up the steam" among the sporting
fraternity, and there was no diminution of speculation
till the last struggle was completed. The spectators
were numerous, and included many persons of distinc-
