BLACKS DEBATING SOCIETY.
The above society held its usual weekly meeting on Tuesday evening, when there was a fair attendance. The subject of debate was “ Should New Zealand adopt a system of Compulsory Military Training,” and a very keen and interesting debate resulted. The voting favored the negative.by the narrow margin of one vote. It was decided that the next meeting, to take the form of a Mock Trial, beheld on Monday next, instead of Tuesday, as some of the leading speakers could not be present on the usual night. Notice of motion was given that not more than two minutes be allowed to elapse between any two speakers. The usual vote of thanks to the chair brought the meeting to a close.
