FIRE AT EXETER HALL, STRAND.
Last evening, shortly after seven o'clock, the greatest
confusion was caused iu consequence of a report beins
raised that that immense building, Exeter Hall, had
taken fire. A sheet of flame was seen from a small
building situated between the windows of the large hall
and the porters' rooms, and the firemen having .set to
work, they were enabled to carry the hose from their
engines down one of the main passages of the hall, and
by opening a side window they succeeded in pouring a
heavy stream of water upon th flames, which prevented
their further extension, and in less than an hour en-
tirely extinguished them. Some damage is done to the
walls of the hall by smoke and water.
