Recalls "Century of Profress"
"In northwest London, a little sta
tion called Wembley park conjures
lip ghosts of a great exhibition, for
here, In 1924 and 1926, was held
the British empire exhibition. Called
Wembley" for short, It was to Lon
don what "A Century of Progress' was
to Chicago, but all that remains to
day of Its halls. Oriental temples.
artificial lakes, fountains, and walks,
Is the empire stadium. This huge
bowl Is hall as large again as the
Colosseum at Rome, and has a seat
ing capacity of 100,000.
"When the empire starltum Is
filled for England's great annual
soccer game the cup final the
spectator Is treated to a thrilling
sight. The king and the prince Qf
Wales present cups and medals to
the teams and players, military bands
play stirring tunes, thousands oi
voices Join In community Binging,
airplanes zoom overhead, and Eng
land becomes as wildly excited as
the United States does during the
world series. " '
"Before the World war, the cup
final was played In the grounds of
the Crystal Palace, the most Impos

London. It Is a mammoth, dratty
edifice ol glass and Iron, 1608 feet

hall with aisles and two transepts.

thrilling motorcycle races on its dirt

The great exhibition, however, was
a little too much for cnaries uicxens,
