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 sports com-
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-
ti•n " quartered" in the neighbourhood. The events
came off in the following order :

nearly abreast, and ran in company for about one hundred
yards; the running was then taken up by Freystrop, and
carried on to the cords, where he was beaten. Johnny

HER MAJESTY'S BILL OF FARE AT THE ROYAL Es-
CHANGE.—The Illuminated " Bill of Fare," and which
her Majesty was pleased to request might be forwarded to
Windsor, was executed by Mr. John Sherrin, in the
establishment of Messrs. Harding and Smith, rail-mall.
SINGULAR FACT FOR THE NATURALIST.—A person
in this town, while preparing a piece of plane-tree for the
back of a violoscello, observed a small rise about the
centre of the plank, and planing it very carefully he
gently broke a cell, in which a fly of the long and brown
species lay embedded, The insect was alive and crawled
off the board, but did not seem capable of using its wings.
From the age of the wood the insect must have been en-
tombed for upwards of a century, as it could only have
got enclosed when the tree was a sapling. There was not
the slightest mark by which it could have subsequently
bored an entrance, nor was it of a species capable of
doing so.—Perth Courier.
