NAVAL TRAINING SHIPS.
PRESS ASSOCIATION. AUCKLAND, January 23. A deputation from the Royal Naval and Royal Marine Association met Admiral Beaumont (lately in charge of the Aus- • tralian squadron) on board the Sierra, and discussed the need of the estnbhshincut at the principal colonial ports of naval training ships, so that tho nucleus of a marine population rti.ight be formed. Admiral Beanmotvt said lie coruially agreed vvitli the proposal, nnd Mould, bring the subject before tho proper authorities on his arrival in England. The admittance of colonial youths into the naw, as agreed itnon at the recent conference of colonial Premiers, would do something to remove the bar which the stringent merchant shipping laws o. this colony presented to the employment of youths on the Sea, but he realised that establishment of training ships mip..t be ■jf great additional service. He parmeri hut that the Pylades, now, on the station, •.•might answer the purpose temporarily, ivmding the preparation of suitable vessels. which might otherwise cause considerable delay.
