In the course of a letter written in New York on May 23 to a Wellington resident, the following passage occurs: “The weather keeps cool, a factor which has not aided the World’s Fair at Flushing Meadows. The crowds attending are less than anticipated, which does not give the satisfaction hoped for. One thing that is striking everyone is that it is too expensive for people with ordinary incomes. The food is very high priced. The restaurant mon say that tlie rents for concessions are ridiculous, and it is that which accounts for the high price of meals. . . . On their tour through Canada Their Majesties have made a terrific hit. The radio enables -anyone interested to follow tlic tour to the. smallest detail. Now York is intensely interested in anything flint appertains to the King and Queen, and it is anticipated that their welcome in New York will exceed any function of the kind in the history of America."
