There were good crowds over the holidays at the Empire Games, but in general, the attendances, particularly at the Women's Games, wore for smaller than they ought to have been.

The fault is not altogether with the public. Indifference may be traced in some custa to insuf ficient publicity and in others to xorbitant prices of admission. A Derby correspondent has writ- ten rather emphatically
