RACING IN ENGLAND TO BE RESUMED An Associated Press cablegram of yesterday from London says: "Yielding to the strenuous protest of the Jockey Club, the war cabinet has decided that "a limited amount of racing will be allowed In England from the middle of July to the close of the flat racing season. "It suggests that the Jockey Club may arrange approximately forty days of racing during this period, but that the race meetings be limited to Newmarket and such places as are sanctioned by the war office. The running of special trains to these places, however, will be prohibited and, owing to the shortage of petrol, motorcars and taxlcabs cannot be employed."
