IS WEMBLEY FALLING FLAT?
LAST YEAR’S EXCUSE, RAIN; THIS YEAR’S, SUN. By Telegraph.—Press Association.—Copyright.—Sydney “ Sun ’’ Cablet (Received June 18, 11 a.m.) LONDON, June 17. The “Daily Dispatch’ - asks: “What is wrong' with Wembley? Everyone is agreed that the Exhibition is better and brighter than in 1924, yet there is only half the attendance. The excuse in 1924 was rain, and this year sun, but the present heat •wave alone does not account for the falling off. “ Other explanations suggested are: Public apathy, 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, while the most interesting educational exhibits are not exciting enough to attract modern Londoners.”
