The question of limiting speeches at the Coronation celebrations in Gisborne was before the meeting of citizens yesterday. One gentleman pointed out that the public got very tired of hearing the same old tiling over and over again, and there were some speakers who really did not mean what they said. He suggested therefore that the speeches should be limited to ten minutes each. Another gentleman suggested that the limit should be reduced to five minutes. The matter was left to the committee to deal with. A special meeting of the Ladies’ Auxiliary of the Y.M.C.A. was held in the rooms yesterday afternoon. The chief business was the arranging of the ladies’ evening in connection with theDebating Society.
