ROYAL REGATTA AT HENLEY

Henley-on-Thames, July 2,

The strong Overseas' entry in Henley's Royal Re- galta, which opened its four-day programme with 34 races here today in good but threaten- ing weather, was not called upon to race, other than in the Diamond Sculls and the Thames Cup.

In the Diamond Sculls, Jack Kelly, of the United States, and the favourite to win this coveted prize, made a fine impression in beating his Belgian opponent, B. Piessens, who raced_at} Henley before the war, by four lengths.

One of his chief rivals, "the British seuller, B.H.T. Bushnell, who had setled with success in regatius in South America earlier this year, had an even ensler win over bis English opponent.

Bushnell's time for the mile and quarter course was nine. #triates 20 seconds, ngalast | Kelly's ning minutes alx seconda..

The shrewdest blow was struck by that golfing master, Henry Cotton, of Royal Mid-Surrey, who strode majestically round the 7,000-yard course in a record-equalling 69 and shared with that little known new Worthing profes- sional, 33-year-old Laurie Ayton, a two-stroke lead of the field.
