THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG = { 1 LONDON 'LETTER | By Panton House, London, April 7.--Hsad the Cana- dian Pavilion .at Wembley possess- ed three times its actual 150,060 square feet of\floor space it could not have given all "the would-be exhibitors as much space as they desired. J. 8. McKinnon, Director of Industrial Exhibits in' the Canadian iSection of the British Empire Ex- hibition, had the help of the Cana- dian Manufacturers' Association (whose representatives he met .in conferénce at Ottawa) in his diffi- cult task of allotting the space al; his disposal. In the first place, ome half the available area was reserv- éd for a display of Canada's natur- al resources. The other half first divided among Canadian iu- dustries in proportion to their na- tional importance, and then + Sup. divided among some 300 manufact- urers and corporations who wished to"be represented at Wembley. ---- ~ "Oranges and Lemons" Day. Eight hundred children attended a special service 'at 8t. Clement Danes, one of the two "island" churches in the Strand, in celebra- tion of "Oranges and Lemons" Day, March 31st. This is the church as- sociated with the old nursery rhyme aBout the bells of old London. Built by Wren in 1681, it stands on the site of a very ancient building where," according to tradition, Har- old Harefoot (one of our Danish kings) was buried in the year 1040. The Danish connection is still maintained, for the Danish colony in London had sent the oranges and lemons which decorated the altar and were distributed to the youth- ful congregation. Ten small zhil- dren, five boys and five girls, play- ed thé old nursery rhyme tune and several hymn tunes on hand-belis. The whole service, and the per- formance after it of the famous peal of 8, were broadcast by wireless. Boat Race Day. The Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race, which was won by Cambridge on Saturday, stands alone as a sporting event. It is simply a friend- ly contest between our two ancient universities; yet in the whole of the British athletic year nothing, except perhaps the Derby, approaches it in its power of awakening popular in- terest. People who are quite indie ferent to all other horse-races like to know what has won the Derby; people who disapprove of betting take tickets in: the Derby sweep- stake which is run by nearly every firm and: club. In the same way, people who know nothing whatever of rowing, and have not the faini- est personal connection with either of the Universities, are keenly in- newspaper reports of the crews' traiping, and endeavor to catch a passing glimpse of-the contest from some point om the river bank. The course is 4 1-4 miles from Putney to Mortlake, and the race has ai- 'ways taken place on a Saturday, when more people are free than on any.other day of the week. A ludicrous feature of early spring, not oaly in London and the Thames-side towns, but all over England, is the outbreak of Boat- race fever among the youth, of the nation. For weeks before the great svent, dark blue and . light blue favors were sold in the shops and sported by small boys and girls, who thus a ce th ives as. "Ox- ford" or "Cambridge" and 'are red- hot partisans (even to fisticuffs) of their chosen crew. It does mot mat- ter in the least that few of these yGungsters know one end of an oar tro the other. ini All Fools' Day in London, All Fools' Day nowadays ig kept for the most part as a donjestic festival, . though this year several London hotels and damce clubs pro- vided special entertainment 'on the as, for instance, when in one ballroom musié which the damcers supposed to be arriving from the other side of the Atlantic by wireless.
