The Ensign shall not, without our authority in writing, be worn on board any vessel belonging to the Royal Kenne- BECCAsis Yacht Club while such vessel is lent, on hire or other- wise, to any person not being a member of the Club, or who, being a member of the Club, is not a natural bom or naturalized British subject.

I- 12 NOTES ON ROYAL AND ADMIRALTY WARRANTS. By Dixon Kemp. Mr. Dixon Kemp, in his "Manual of Yachting," states the law and custom regarding the wearing of the Ensign and the nature of the ^.dmiralty Warrant, as follows : ** Admiralty Warrants are warrants granted to clubs and members thereof, granting permission to fly the White Ensign, or the Blue Ensign, or the Red Ensign, with device on it. The Admiralty Warrant will only be granted to yachts which are registered according to the provisions of the Merchant Shipping Act. ** The privilege bestowed by this document (the Warrant) is clearly set forth, and is nothing more or less than a permis- sion to fly one of the Ensigns used by Her Majesty's fleet. The Red Ensign, it can be stated, may, under the Merchant Shipping Act of 1854, be flown on board of any vessel without permission of the Admiralty, unless a device be put on it ; in the latter case, a Warrant must be obtained from the Admiralty Tor permission to use the device. ** An Admiralty Warrant also enables the owner to ship exisable goods, such as wines, spirits, tobacco, tea, etc. , direct from bond without payment of duty ; and to enter ports with- out paying harbor dues (this does not include dock charges) and to make fast to mooring buoys laid down by the Admiralty, if such buoys be not required by ships of Her Majesty's fleet. An Admiralty Warrant is also useful in foreign ports, as it at I 13 once establishes the nationality of a yacht ; and the [)ort authorities usually show greater civility to yachty carrying an Admiralty Warrant, securely berthing them, and freciuently foregoing harbor dues (not dock charges), ' ' When a yacht changes hands her Warrant must be re- turned, through the club secretary, to the Admiralty ; and if an owner let a yacht on hire, he must return the Warrant. *' The Admiralty Warrant is never granted to a person hiring yachts, and they can only legally fly the National or Red Ensign — that is, the Warrant is only granted to owners actually holding a yacht's register. " The Admiralty Warrant is not granted to foreigners, who may be members of British yacht clubs, unless they have been naturalized, and can thu3 legally hold a British register. A foreigner obtaining a British register by making a false repre- sentation, is liable to have ths vessel made forfeit to the Crown. " Royal Yacht Club is a club that has obtained permission from Her Majesty to use the prefix *' Royal." An Admiralty Warrant obtained from the Admiralty does not confer the title, but a Royal Yacht Club that has not also the Admiralty Warrant can only fly the Rod Ensign, and this can have no device. A club with an Admiralty Warrant takes precedence of a club that has only a Royal Warrant. " Name. Objects. Meetings.

(h) A yacht which is close hauled on the port tack shall keep out of the way of a yacht which is close hauled on the starboard tack. (c) When both are running free, with the wind on different sides, the yacht which has the wind on the port side shall keep out of the way of the other. {(l) When both are running free with the wind on the same side, the yacht which is to windward sh.'dl keep out of the way of the yacht which is to leeward.

If a yacht in consecfuence of her neglect of these rules shall foul another yacht, or compel another yacht to foul any yacht, mark, or obstruc- tion, or to run aground, she shall be dis(jualified and her owner shall pay all damages. 3. The Sailing Committee shall, with or with- out protest, dis(|ualify any yacht, should it come to their knowledge that she has committed a l)reach of these rules. .. XXX. 1. Any yacht disobeying or infringing any of Penalties, tiiese rules (which shall apply to all yachts, whe- ther sailing in the same or difi'erent races), shall l)c disqualified from receiving any prize she would otlierwise have won, and lier owner shall be liable tor all (himages arising therefrom. 2. Should a Hay:rai-.t breach or infringement of Owner's any of these rules be proved against the owner of **"* ^^^' any yacht, he may be dis(iualitied b}' the Sailing (Committee, for such time as they may think fit, from entering or sailing his yacht in any race held by tlieClub. .S.

The allowances in this table are based upon the rule accepted by naval architects, that within economic limits, opportunities for speed var}' in ditt'erent vessels as the square roots of their respective lengths. As strong winds are required, however, to give to larger vessels the full extent of their advantage in size, and as such a scale of allowance is not adapted to ordin- ary summer racing, 60 per ce?it only of the allowance due to the rule is given in the table, and may be stated thus : Time equals .0 3600 3600 1 ; 3600 representing the I x/1 x/L j number of seconds in an hour, I the length of the smaller yacht, and L the length of the lai'gei*. 2160 2160 Practically the formula is ; six-tenths of 3600 being 2160. v/1 n/L Rule fok Using the Table. The figures to o found in the table sliow in seconds and hundredths of a second what a vacht of the measurement opposite to these figures would be alUtwed by one of 130 feet in sailing one nautical mile.

Restriction as to use of Club Flags. 1. Yacht owners desirous of wearing the Club Ensign must be provided with Admiralty War- rants. These will be obtained by the Secretary on the following information being furnished : — Name of Yacht ; Name of Owner ; Rig ; Net Registered tonnage; Length (extreme) ; Breadth (extreme) ; Port of Registry. Certificates of hold- ing the Admiralty Warrants will be furnished on application. 2. Admiralty Warrants are in force only during the time the yacht remains the property of the member in whose name the Warrant is issued, or whilst he remains a member of the Club, and any member parting with or letting his yacht, or resigning membership must return the obsolete Warrant to the Secretary at once. Yacht owners are required to observe the Admiralty Regulations on this subject. 3. When a yacht is let or lent she is not under an}' circumstances entitled to hoist the Blue Ensign ; but should the person to whom she is let or lent be a member of the R. K. Y. C, she may hoist the Club Burgee. (See regulations as to Admiralty Warrants, Clause 105, Merchant Ship- ping Act, page 11. 79 (♦ NOTES RE ENSIGN AND BURGEE FROM "ROYAL CLUBS.'' 4. If an Eiisif^ii otht r than the Red be (iown by any vessel without a Warrant from the Admi- ralty, a penalty of £500 stg. may be inflicted, and any Custom House or Consular Officer or other officer in H. M. Service on full pay may board the vessel and seize the flag. Although the Red Ensign has been assigned to the mercantile marine, no device can be put on it other than the Jack without the permission of the Admiralty. The jurisdiction of the Admiralty only extends to Hags flown afloat, and any ensign can be hoisted on flagstaffs on shore. When a Warrant is granted to a Club to fly the W^hite, Blue, or the Red Ensign with a device, this Warrant does not of itself entitle a member of the Club to fl\ either Ensign on board his yacht; before he can legally do so he must also obtain a Warrant from the Admiralty through the Club Secretary. As many Warrants must be obtained as he belongs to Clubs if he desires to fly the flag of each Club. Wlien the vacht is disposed of, the Warrants must be returned through the Club Secretary to the Admiraltv, and if the owner obtains a new yacht he muj^f get fresh Warrants. 5. It is considered etiquette if a yacht is on a station where there is a Club established and her owner is a member of the Club, that tlie flag of that pi'Tticular Club should be hoisted as the yacht arrives on the station, although the owner Peualty for Wearing Flaprs Without Warrant.

In the event of colours being carried at half itiast, the Ensign only, and not the Burgee, will bo lowered, except in the event of the death of the owner of the yacht, when both Ensign and Burgee will be half-masted until sundown of that day, when they will be lowered for good. 16. Saluting with the Ensign at half mast should be done by mast-heading at first ; this rule applies to yachts both at anchor and under way. 17. Should one of the Flag OfKcers make any general signals, owners of yachts should pay immediate attention, hoist their answering pen- nants to cross-trees or mast-head the moment the signal is understood, and keep them flying until tlie signal is lowered. The same rule applies to any signal made from the Club House. 18. Vacht'i, when the owner is not on board, may fly at the main starboard spreader, during daylight, a blue flag, rectangular in shape; a white flag of similar shape may be hoisted at the main starboard spreader during the meal hours of the owner, and a red pennant at the main port vspreader during the meal hours of the crew. These flags should never be carried when under way. 19. The prize flag which is hoisted immediately after a race, to denote that a yacht has won a race, is hoisted below on the same halyard as the 83 I Burgee. When the yacht haa sailei her last match, she hoists as many prize flags as she has won races during the season. If a yacht has won more races than she has prize flags, it is usual to make up the deficiency with code signal flags or Buk'gees!. 20. Tn addition to the Club Ensign, Flag Boat Flags. Officers, when in their boats, may fly on a bow jack staff their official flag, and owners their pri- vate Signal or the Club Burgee. ; ! 21. point assistance.

An official salute to a foreign Club should be made by firing a gun with the Club Flag or National Ensign of the Foreign Club at the fore on schooners and steamers, and at th^ main on single-masted vessels; or in the absence of such flag by half masting the Ensign and firing a gun. When the salute has been returned or a reason- able time for its return allowed, the flag should be hauled down and the Club Flag hoisted again. 8. The term ''foreign" should be understood as applying to all Clubs outside of the waters of Saint John and Millidcreville harbours. Salute to yachts entering port. 9. The salute to yachts entering {)ort, enti- tled to a salute, should be made from the Club house by hoisting the Club flag or National Ensign of the Club to which the visiting yacht belongs at the signal gaff" and firing a gun when they let go anchor, or by dipping the Ensign once. ^The yacht entering port should be the first to salute. 87 10. The salute from or to yachts arriving after sunset or on Sunday, should be made imme- diately after colours on the following morning. 11. When salutes arc fired from an R. K. Y.

The salute for Flag Officers shall be as follows: Commodore, 11 guns; Vice- Commodore, 9 guns; Rear-Commodore, 7 guns. The Flag Officer saluted shall return the salute with the number of guns he is entitled to. 15. The time between guns in saluting shall be ten seconds. 16. It is usual to salute a Club Flag Officer on his first hoisting his flag on a Club station at the beginning of a season, and when he hauls it down at the close of a season, by eleven guns for a Commodore, nine guns for a Vice-Commodore, and seven guns for a Rear-Commodore, resf)ect- ively.

If they join the S(|uadron at anchor, they should report to the commandinj^ officer, and should obtain his permission before leaving it. 3. When under sail with the Stjuadron, firing guns and signaling should be avoided, except when joining or parting company, or when re- peating for information signals made from the flag-ship. 4. The Commodore, when hoisting a signal to get. under way, or i)erfoim any other nautical ma- na'uvre, may call attention to it by firing a gun, when the yachts, in order to show that the signal has been observed, must immediately hoist the answering pennant. 5.

Those starting the first day were the British Queen, carrying the Commodore's Hag ; the Canada, with the Vice- Commodore, and the Thistle, with the Rear-(yommodore. Also the Chaplain's yacht Armorel, the press yacht Sunol, the Tlietis, Kelpie, Ariel, Sylph, Wanderer, Clytie, Venus, Jubilee, Bluenose, Victoria, Dream, Irex, Edna, and Pert. Lastly, there was the visiting yacht Dewey, whose crew furnished great entertainment and added a novelty to the cruise. The yachts which joined the fleet later and participated in a part of the cruise were the Grayling, Marjorie and Beatrice. Ten days, which passed only too (juickly, were occupied on the cruise, and a royal welcome was given the fleet at Fredericton, the turning point of the ciuise, where President Barker and members of the Fredericton Bicycle and Boating Club spared no effort to make the visit to Fredericton an enjoyable one for every yachtsman. Anchorages were also made at Evandale, Gage- town, (where on Sunday the Club had the privilege of attend- ing divine service held in the open air by Dr. Parker, their chaplain), at Little Musquash Island, at the Narrows, in Washademoak Lake, at McDonald's Point and at Oak Point. The cruise ended at Millidgeville, on Wednesday, July 27th. On Saturday, August 6th, the second and deciding Pugaley Cup race was sailed off Rothesay, course round Kennebeccasis Island, 11 miles. Wind southwest, nearly a gale. Only two boats started, the British Queen having met with an accident to her centre-board, and the weather being too heavy for the Clytie. , ^ .,.^ '^k 120 II'!

Through damage to buoys in a storm the night before, the first races were an hour late getting off, the race for the McAvity cup, Class D., being started at 11.8 a. m., once round Course *' B," 5 miles.

At three o'clock the race for the Ruel challenge shield was started, and the largest number of starters in any race of the season crossed the line in thi-^ event. The wind, which was blowing quite fresh at the start, died down Very much during the race. The Beatrice, which appears to best advantage in a heavy blow, could not make a good showing, and gave up after the first round. The Canada, 122 being almost the first to cross the line, led over the whole course, and finally distanced all competitors except the Thetis, therefore becoming the first boat to have her name inscribed upon the shield.

The ** Horry S," a crack yacht of the Schoodie Yacht Club, Calais, was entered, but unfortunately did not reach St. John in time to start. The races were sailed over Course *'A," 12 miles. Wind northwest, heavy sea. During the second round, when fortunately the smaller class yachts had finished their race, a terrific squall, accompanied by rain and hail, swept down the harbour. The Canada at once dropped her jib and peak of mainsail, but the Maple Leaf carried on too long and lost very much before getting in her light sails. The Harry S. and Kathleen were towed in by the official tug. The result : Strt. Fin. Elpsd. Cor. Canada 11.26. 4 1.51. 2.24.56 2.24.56 Maple Leaf 11.26.21 2. 1. 5 2.34.44 2.34.

On Monday, Oct. 3rd, the Willis Cup tie was sailed off, the ThetJs winning by two minutes and nineteen seconds, thus bringing an unusually successful racing season to a close. From the number of new boats coming into the Club, it is probable that next season some of the present winners may have to look to their laurels. season.
