POOR PATRONAGE
WEMBLEY EXHIBITION".
SEVERAL CAUSES SUGGESTED,
(Received 10.30 .a.m.)
LONDON, June IT.
The "Daily Dispatch" asks:— "What's wrong with everyone? All agree that the Exhibition is better and brighter than in 1924, yet there is only half the attendance this year. The excuse in 1924 was the rain, and this year it is the sun, but the present heatwave alone does not account for the falling off."
Other explanations suggested are public apathy, the difficulty and cost in reaching Wembley and the high price
of admission,
A Dominion official suggests that there are too many replicas 'of the 1924 exhibits. The Dominion exhibits are mainly produce and cereals, whir© the most interesting educational exhibits are not exciting enough to at-
tract modern Londoners.—Sun,
