C. \ V V^/ V Royal Naval Club ESQUINALT The Royal Naval Club, Esquimalt, was built in Auj^nist, 1867, by Mr. Williams, a resident of P^squimalt, and was by him leased to the officers of the fleet as a club-house. The building" consisted of a billiard room, read- ing room, kitchen, lav^atory, with offices attached, outside the building, and six small rooms upstairs, and so remained till the end of 1899, when certain structural improvements took place. By the terms of the lease between Mr. Williams and the officers of the Fleet, the former acted as steward of the Club at a salary of £^0 a year. All wines, spirits, etc., were provided by him, and he received the profits arising therefrom. On his part, having built the club-house and furnished it, he undertook to keep it in proper repair and pro- vide the Club servants. When the Club was first started. Captain Old- field, H.M.S. "Malacca," was elected temporary president ; but he was relieved very shortly after by Captain Dawkins, H.M.S. "Zealous," who became president, and Rear-Admiral the Hon. G. F. Hastings the patron of the Club. -3- 2118a: ) All commisssonetl ofTicers of tlic Royal Navy were elij^^ible for election as members, civilians and oHicers of the Royal Navy not holding'- commissions beinj;- elii^ible as honorary members. 'I'he sub- scriptit>n for members was $2 per month, while that for honorary members was $1 per month. Members were elected by ballot after beiiii;- duly proposed and seconded, one black ball in five ex- cludini^- any candidate for admission. Ships pro- viding,^ three or more members had the privilei^e of seiectiniT one of their number to serve on the committee. In November, 1868, it bein^ found that Mr. Williams was workinj^ the Club at a loss, his salary was increased to ^'150 yearly. \n 1873 the ballot, as reja^a'-ds naval ofTicers, was done away with, and any naval officer wishiiii,^ to become a'member notified the honorary secretary, but civilians wishing to become honorary members continued to be elected by ballot. In December, 1876, only one ship, H.M.S. '* Rocket," bein<>- present in the harbor, and only a few officers of that ship beloni^-ing- to the Club, it was resolved to close the Club until more ships arrived. In June, 1877, the Club was reopened, but another arrang-ement was entered into with Mr. Williams, by which he received $1.50 per month from each member, and 75 cents per month from each honorary member. He supplied wines, spirits, lights, attendance, etc., and received all profits arising" llierefrom. He also undertook to keep the club-liouse, furniture, etc., in proper repair, and was responsible tor all liabilities. A managing coinniittee was appointed under the presidency of Captain Robinson, H.M.S. "Opal," which revised the price list, etc., and looked alter the interests o\' the nienibers. The above arrangtinent only existed till Decem- ber, nSyy, when a contract was entered into with Mr. VVillianv> whereby he leased the building, furniture, etc., to the members for $25 a month, the members managmg the Club themselves. This first lease was for four months, but at its expiration it was renewed h mh month to month until April, 1880, when it was taken on lease for one year at a monthly 1 ant?*! of $jo, with the proviso that all outside repairs were made ij^ood hy Mr. Williams, whilst the members of the Club were responsible for the inside repairs. At this time Captain Markham, H.M.S. " Triumph," was president of the committee. Since December, 1877, the two servants em- ployed in the Club had been supplied by the fleet, but in 1880 one of them was replaced by a Chinese steward at a salary o\^ $30 a month. This arrange- ment only remained in force a few months, it proving unsatisfactory, and the steward was dis- charged, a servant from the fleet taking his place. In 1883 the rules were revised, those made in 1873 having so far continued in force. Captain Aitchison, H.M.S. " Swiftsure," being president of the committee at the time. — o- The question of buying the CKib, and land on which it is built, had for some years been contem- plated, but it was not till July, 1886, that it was finally decided to do so, and the ground, building and contents were bought from Mr. Williams and his partner, Mr. Arthur, by Rear-Admiral Sir M. Culme Seymour, Bart., for the members of the Club, the money being advanced to him by the Bank of British Columbia on a mortgage on the Club and ground. The price paid was $3000. The com- mittee, Captain H. Rose, H.M.S. "Triumph," being president, then insured the Club, furniture, etc., for $3000. By December, 1889, the Club had been re-roofed, new windows had been put in, and the debt re- duced to $2,050. In August, 1893, the debt still owing was $1,044, '^'^^^ ^^ ^'^^ "*^t till September, 1895, that it was finally paid off. The Naval Club, and the ground on which it stands, is now the property of the members of the Club, and is held in trust for them bv the British Columbia Corporation, Limited, of Temple Build- ings, Fort Street. They also own a further piece of land at the back of the Club, but the strip of ground on which the verandah, in the front of the building, is built is leased from the Admiralty — five shillings a year being paid for it. The trustees have possession of all deeds and docu- ments relating to the property, size of it, etc. - e- * In 1896 the Club was fitted with the telephone, and in 1898 electric light was introduced through- out, and a new billiard table bought. In 1900 a new dressing room with offices at- tached was built. The entrance, which was pre- viously through the billiard room, was closed by a window, and a new entrance made on the side of the Club facing the harbor. The billiard room was closed in by a bulkheading, which formed one side also of the new entrance passage. The bar, which had previously opened into the billiard room, was now constructed so that it opened into the old dressing room, which latter was converted into a smoking room. The total cost of these improve- ments was $2,164. Also, in 1900, the rules were revised, and the committee. Captain T. P. Walker, H. M. S. '* Warspite," being chairman, increased the insur- ance on Club, furniture, etc., to $4000. f -7- n i i I i I I RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THK Royal Naval Club. Esquimalt REVISED 1900 1.
