V.R.C. NATIONAL MEETING'. ' After final forfeits 20 horses, including the ex-New Zealander Beltane, remain in the Grand National Hurdles, to be run at Flemington to-morrow., HENLEY REGAITA. In bright sunshine (says a London cable) the Henley Regatta was resumed after five years' cessation owing to the war.- The river was alive with punts and skiffs, and the banks were occupied by great crowds of spectators. Gollan won the Diamond Sculls from T. Mailer very easily in 9min 26sec.

GOLF AT HOME. LONDON, June 30. The Open Golf Championship was begun at Deal. This is the first championship to be played since 1914. The game is 72 holes medal play, and 36 holes were played to-day. Mitchell 147, Barnes and Leld 150, Ray and Wingate 155 are leading. RACING DATES—AN.UNTORTUNATE POSITION. [Special to the 'Stae."] CHRISTOHURCH, July 2. There is a danger of a congested calendar in February affecting racing and trotting interests in Christchurch and Dunedin. The Canterbury Jockey Club have applied for Saturday, February 5, and the Metropolitan Trotting dub for February 12. In the south the order is reversed, as the Forbury Park Trotting Club wish to race on February 5 and 7, and the Dunedin Jockey Club on February 9 and 12. Apart from other considerations, an adherence to these dates would not allow much time for horses to reach Wingatui after racing at Riccarton. The situation is a serious one for Dunedin sportsmen, who are anxious to make a .week's carnival of their trotting and galloping fixtures in February. There was a clash of dates last May between the Ashburtoa County Racing Club and the Forbury Park Trotting Club, and a similar thing will occur next autumn if the two clubs adhere to the dates they have applied for.
