WARFARE AND PEACE.
CONTRAST IN TOWN HALL. )
Leading statesmen, eloquent lecturers, famous singers and herculean wrestlers are among tho many who have drawn audiences to the Town Hall, which, because of its essentially civic character, has been the scene of entertainments and meetings differing widely in character. Frequently both the Town Hull and the concert chamber are engaged on tho same evening, and those who jostlo shoulders passing through the main entrance may be bound for a dramatic performance, a, choral evening or a dance. But seldom is the contrast so striking as was the case last, evening. Of those who filed through adjoining doors, one section was proceeding to a meeting to discuss disarmament, and the other aectiou was bound for a boxing match. T lie cheers from the audience watching tho fistic encounter echoed occasionally within the precincts of the chamber where speakers were deploring the prevalence of "the tiger spirit in man."
