(14) Every flag officer (except an admiral superintendent of a dockyard) will, on hoisting his flag, be allowed three nominations for competition; commodores of the first class, two nominations; captains appointed to a ship of any class (except captains of stationary ships, captain superintendents of dockyards or victualling yards, and the captain of the Royal yacht), one nomination; but no officer will be allowed to exercise this right a second time within three years. And no captain appointed to a ship during her commission will be allowed a nomination if the right has been exercised within one year by the previous captain. (15) Seven nominations will be allowed annually to the Colonies. (16) Cadets will be required to pay £70 per annum while in the _Britannia_, and £50 for the twelve months in the sea-going training ship; but a number, not exceeding twelve, of sons of Royal Naval or Royal Marine officers, or of civil officers under the Board of Admiralty, may be selected by the Admiralty for a payment of £40 per annum. (17) Successful cadets will be appointed to the _Britannia_. (18) The date of entry of those who pass in June is to reckon from July 15th following, and of those who pass in November from January 15th following.

(21) Cadets who join in August, and pass an unsatisfactory examination in December, will be warned that they will be discharged at Easter if they do not improve. Cadets entered in January who pass unsatisfactorily at Easter will be similarly warned for July. Any cadet who passes badly at a subsequent examination will be discharged. (22) Notice will be given of the minimum number of marks which must be obtained at each examination. (23) At the fourth term examination cadets will be classified according to their merits in seamanship, study, and conduct, and will be allowed time for their service in the _Britannia_ as follows:-- Study. Seamanship. Conduct. First class 6 months 3 months 3 months. Second class 3 months None 3 months. Third class None None 3 months.
