LONDON, 29th June. Replying to questions in the House of Commons in regard to the attendance at the Empire Exhibition, Mr. A. M. Samuel said the Exhibition authorities had informed him that the number of visitors in 1924, when the price of admission was reduced after 5 o'clock in the evenings, was insufficient to warrant the reintroduction of the lower charge. The average daily attendance from 15th May to 15th June was 60,665, the highest and lowest figures being 243,292 and 55,944 respectively. The corresponding figures last year were: Average 102,403, biggest: 321,332, and lowest 25,784.

;it was understood that the Exhibition authorities were devoting as much attend tion a.s possible to publicity. '.•■' ;
