Hamilton

(From our own correspondent.) St. Mary’s Club, Hamilton, seems to be developing some good debaters amongst its members, if one may judge by the keen interest taken in a matter that came before them for debate—viz., ‘ Should the saleyards be shifted out of the town, or away from its present position V It is a subject of local interest and one on which the Borough Council is evenly divided in an attempt to raise a loan of £ISOO for improvement to the present site. In the club debate there were three on each side, the affirmative being taken by Mr. F. J. Pryor and the .negative- by Mr. M. O’Leary. Each speaker mad© a good speech, and got in some telling points. At the close a hearty vote of thanks was passed to the various speakers. Dean Darby exhorted all the young men to join the club and take part in its excellent debates, etc. ' .*■' , ' °
