The regular meeting of the Freshman Debating Club was held last evening, the question for debate being, "Resolved, That the Raines Liquor Bill is for the best interests of the people of New York." M. Hyman and E. E. Wakefield spoke for the affirmative, while G. H. Foster and D. D. Lloyd supported the negative. The debate was won by the negative, and after the decision H. L. Belisle of the Union criticised the principal speakers.
An admission of twenty-five cents will be charged at the Freshman debate with Yale and all seats will be reserved. One day before the regular sale opens, which will probably not be until the first of next week, seats may be reserved by the members of the Freshman Debating Club, and of the Forum and Union. After the debate a banquet will be held at the Colonial Club. Several speeches will be made by invited guests, though the names of the speakers have not yet been decided.
