_ Payment for the dinner should be made to the hon. sec. at the time intention to 
dine is notified, or in any case not later than three days before the date of the dinner. 
Officers who bank with Messrs. Cox & Co. are informed that the price of the 
dinner will be charged in their accounts. 
pacufcation (4.) Notification of intention to dine should be made to the hon. secretary 
to dine, as early in June as possible, if notification is not received two clear 
days before the date of the dinner an extra payment of 5s. will be 
required. Withdrawal of names of officers unavoidably prevented 
from dining should be effected two clear days before the date of 
the dinner, as after that time no money can be refunded. 
erange (5.) (a) It is particularly requested that officers will inform the hon. 
seats. secretary as early as possible, if they wish seats reserved 
for themselves and their friends, and the position they 
would prefer: it should be noted that the arrangement of 
seats beforehand is by far the best plan, both in the interests 
of the officers dining and of the secretary, as it enables the 
latter to meet the wishes of officers in a manner which 
would be impossible if the allotment of seats be left to 
haphazard arrangements at the last. 
(0) Generally speaking, applications for seats will be dealt with 
in the order in which they are received, and must be received 
two clear days before the dinner. 
(c) When any number of officers wish to sit together, applications 
must be received from each member of the party; other- 
wise confusion is apt to occur owing to the same officer 
being possibly included in two parties, without his knowing 
it. 
(2) General officers ard colonels-ecmmandant will be placed in 
order of regimental seniority, alternately to the right and 
left of H.R.H. the Colonel of the Regiment, unless they 
arrange otherwise with the hon. secretary. 
(e) A plan of the table can be seen at the War Office until two days 
before the dinner: the day immediately preceding the 
dinner will be cccupied in filling in the names of officers 
opposite the seats allotted to them, and in preparing two 
copies of the plan so completed, one for the dining-room 
and one for the ante-room, to be placed in the Whitehall 
rooms by 2 p.m. on the day of the dinner. 
(f) Officers are particularly requested not to change their seats, 
after the official cards have once been put in the allotted 
places on the table, without communicating personally with 
the hon. secretary or his clerk. Much difficulty has been 
caused by officers leaving the official cards in the allotted 
places and, at the same time, putting their own visiting cards 
in other places; the result being that it has appeared as if 
an insuflicient number of seats were provided.
