Four-tenths of the marks assigned must be ob-

aggregate.

7. A candidate whose age does not exceed thirteen
   on the 15th July or 15th January (as the case may
   be), who may not be successful, will be allowed to
   present himself again at the next examination with-
   out undergoing a fresh medical examination, but no
   candidate will be allowed more than two trials.
   Candidates whose age exceeds thirteen on the 15th
   July or 15th January following the examination will
   not be allowed a second trial.

8. Any candidate who fails to appear at the ex-
   amination after he has obtained a nomination will
   not be allowed to present himself at any future
   examination without a fresh nomination, except in
   the case of illness, certified by a physician or sur-
   geon, and approved by their Lordships, in which case
   the candidate will be allowed to present himself at
   the following examination, provided he is still within
   the limits of age; but under no circumstances will
   such a candidate be allowed to appear at more than
   one examination.

9. For all cadets entered under these regulations
   the annual rate of payment will be at the rate of £70
   per annum for the period in the "Britannia," to be
   paid half-yearly in advance to the Accountant-
   General of the Navy. But the Lords Commissioners
   of the Admiralty reserve the power of selecting, from
   among the candidates nominated at each half-yearly
   examination, a number, not to exceed ten, being sons
   of the officers of the Royal Navy, Army, or Marines,
   or of Civil officers under the Board of Admiralty,
   with respect to whom the annual payment for the
   two years in the "Britannia" will be £40 only. In
   selecting these their Lordships will have regard
   solely to the pecuniary circumstances of the parents
   or guardians of the cadets.

No application for admission on such reduced
scale will be entertained unless made before the can-
didate is nominated.

10. The period of training on board the "Britannia"
    will be, as now, four terms; there will be two terms
    in each year. The first term of each year will be
    from February to July, the second from August to
    December.

The vacations will be five weeks at Christmas, two
weeks at Easter, and six weeks at Midsummer.

11. There will be examinations in seamanship and
    study at the end of each term.

12. Cadets who pass unsatisfactory examinations
    at the end of any term will be "warned," and they
    will be liable to be discharged at the end of the fol-
    lowing or any subsequent term should they again
    be reported as failing to attain the proper number of
    marks at the examinations.

13. The same rule will apply to cadets who may
    be reported for unsatisfactory conduct during their
    service in the "Britannia."

14. Any cadet who shall have been specially
    reported to their Lordships as for any reason unfit
    for the service will be removed from the Navy.

15. Cadets will, on passing out of the training-ship,
    take the order in which they pass their final examina-
    tion.

16. The parent or guardian of every cadet will be
    required to provide outfit as under the regulations in
    force hitherto, and to sign a declaration (on the
    admission of the cadet to the "Britannia") to the
    effect that he shall be immediately withdrawn on the
    receipt of an official intimation of his being considered
    unfit for the Royal Navy.

17. Candidates entered under these regulations
    must understand that they are liable, at any period
    of their service subsequent to the date of their leavins
    the training-ship, to be selected to qualify for the
    gunnery or navigating branches of the service at
    the discretion of their Lordships; who will, however,
    only exercise such power of selection in the event of
    there not being a sufficient number of volunteers for
    such duties.

By command of their Lordships.
