A number of budding orators harangued crowd of young men last night in Oneunga against military training. The (speakers were mostly callow youths with k small stock of ideas. One young hopeful, who had evidently not lon<» left ijchool, asked his hearers not to° allow flhemselTes to be medically examined, as «hey might be called upon to fight for a King they had nerer seen, and might be fiven commands they had never heard t rfore. At this point the speaker retired, as his voice could not stand the night air. Cthcr speakers followed, mounting the cundJe-boT platform in quick succession. Their efforts, howerer, were not very successful, ae the Onehimga boys p'rored Tore loyal than they expected.
