HENLEY REGATTA.

LONDON, June 5

This year's Henley Regatta will be shorn of much of its attractiveness, owing to the absence of dominions representatives and of almost all the foreign rowers, who gave it such an international character in 1913 and

1914. The only foreign entries arbethose of the Dutch sculler Eijken and of a crew from the Union Boat Club of Boston, U.S.A. Eikjpn had entered for the Diamond Sculls, and the Americans are contesting the Grand Stewards' Cup and the Thames Cup. It is believed that the Americans will have a good chance of winning the Grand Stew-ards' Cup, as English rowing has not yet recovered its pre-war standard.
