G. D'ODET D'ORSONNENS, Lt. Colonel Commandant Inf. School. 1st April, 1884. dlft) /S ^ )' INFANTRY SCHOOL H. Company. n^ess IS"CLles- The Mesg is established to bring together the officers of the Corps and enable them to live eheaply and comfortably, by uniting the means at their disposal. It should be considered as a homo, and every one ought to do his utmost to make it cheerful and agreable. It should approximate as nearly as possible to the establish- ment of a private family, and be conducted with such attention to economy as to enable every officer to belong to it without inconvenience. The commandant wishing to create and support such an establishment, in which the comfort and respectability of the officers under his command will be so much concerned, demands from all their support in carrying out the following rules. -r 1. Kvery officer will bo a member of the iMoss, aod every unmarried officer or attached officer will bo a regular dioio.^ membi;r. '> Tho Mess expenses will b) controled by a co-nmiueeoffour offic.'rs of the corps, one of whom may be an attached officer lor a Iod-' course. ° Tho committee will consist of one President, one Secretary-Treasurer and two members. This committee will bo appointed for six montns, every 2 i day of January and July of each year. They will be responsible that the mess rules are not infringed, and tho cxpeu.ses are kept within limits. 3. The commandant being invested with tho general superintendance of the regimental funds no expenditure larger than $:>0 will be incurred without his sanction. 4 Married officers, except the commandant, will be required to dine at tho Mess once a week on guest night. 5. Thursday will be the Guest night of the corps. On Thursdays, every officer regular memb'r of the Mess, will be at libaity to invite one or two guests whose expenses shall be paid by the 'I .ill he 41) ed 'w'-. ;, A (t officer inviting them ; but no "honorary member" shall have the right to introduce or invite any one to the mess of the corps. 6. Strangers or officers belonging to other corps can be made "honorary members" of the mess upon the application of one memb'^r seconded by an other to the committee. The committeo will have power to refuse any such application without giving reasons. If the per- sons proposed are admitted they will have all the privileges of ordinary memberts with the exceptions above enumerated, and offloera introducing them will be responsible for their expenses incurred at mess. 7. No officer can take his name out of the mess books, except on the sick list or c leave of absence for more than seven days. 8. Although officers meet at mess on a footina: of social equality, it nevertheless ought to be distinctly understood that mess is a parade, and that officers attending thereat are under the orders of the Senior officer. 9. The Senior combattant officer present is always in charge, being responsible for all that takes place at table, and in the ante room, both before and after dinner,and should any individual persist in dlsobejiog orders, ho should at oooo order the persoa so offooding ioto urrest. 10. Two officers will be detailed weekly to act as rrcaideat and Vice-President at the table. 11. The President will be responsible for the correct carrying of all details connected with the service of the table, and will order the wines to be drank after dinner, lie has the power to order any officer irrespective of rank to desiit from doing anything contrary to rule. 12. Should any improper occurence tak6 place at the table unobserved by the Senior officer the President or the Vice-President through the President should at once bring it to that officer's notice. He should if necessary, report on the ensuing day any one violating rules. 13. The Vice-President will in every way assist the President in the execution of his duty, and will sit at that end of the table which is nearest the point of entrance for servants. 14 All servants attending mess will be under the immediate order of the President and Vice President. Any officers having cause to complain of any X' of tho servants employed ia the moss, will prefer his complaiot to the President of tho mess committee. 15 The discussion of any regimental subjects whatever at the mess is strictly forbidden. IG. No spirits will be placed on the table during dinner. 17. The practice of officers taking wine with one another is obsolete at mess. Every one will order his own wine, but no champagne will be served to one individual without tha sanction of the mess President. 18. Two oflSoers may sharo^one bottle of wine but the whole bottle will be charged to the one ordering it. 19. No member of the mess (except members of the committee) is to enter the mess room before diflne; ' ; announced. 20. No article of any description bfjlongin^ to the mess is on any account lo ba taken out of tho mess, and no periodicals are to be taken out until relieved by a later copy or number, and no book or news paper is ever to be taken from the ante room without informing the mess sergeant Of oiio of the waiters. r \f / y 21 No mesfl servants are to be employed in carrying notes, in conveying messapes or indeed for any purposes, exoept those for which they are entertained. 22 A mess-man will be detailed from the corps, and paid 20 cts. extra per day from the mess funds. Ho will have, during his service as such, the temporary rank of sergeant and will be responsible for the conduct of the officer's servants or others attending at mess. He will also keep a regular account of the daily expen- diture, enter on his blank form sheet, printed for that purpose, every expenses encured by officers or members of the mess ; he will produce each day at noon the accounts of the day's previous expenses. These accounts will remain on the table in the dining room until after lunch. Officers and members are requested to inspect them, for after that hour the accounts will be countersigned by the mess Vice-President, and no changes will afterward be allowed. The mess sergeant will be charged with the wines and cigars issued daily to him. He will do the marketing with a pass hook in which all orders will be initialed by the mess President or Vice President. The same thing will be done for the groceries. ^•t ^ C 1 4t %: 1 A wine accouDt will bo kept separately and the book, and stock will bo balanced every week by the mess President before ho is relieved Irgai liiM duty. Th„ moss sergeant will wear a plain black dross coat, with black vest io winter and a white vest ID summer, white necktie and black pants. 2;J Tho officers' servants of the corps bein.- supplied with the reoimental livery, they w.ll aU attend on guest nights and one of them will bo detailed wockly to attend dinner only. -'1 Tlie ComtTiandant's servant will attend each tim-tho Commandant comes to mess, but not otherwise, 25 No officer should, on ony account, enter v. the ante room with his cap on or with his sword- y. 20 No smoking will be permitted in the ante- room for a space of one hour before dinner. 27 On the first bugle sounding (i, an hour be - fore dinner) no officer in plain cloths should, oa any pretext whatsoever, enter tho ante room without special leave from tho senior officer prfsent. 28 At the second bugle (5 minutes before dinner") every officer nho-'i^i h^ ■'- •^i - I 8 properly dressed. Oo entering the room thoj *!^. are to acknowledge the senior officer present and ^ bow to him,the same on their retiring after dinner. 20. Officers belonging to the corps will appear at aincer m mess uniform. 30. Attached officers who have no mess dre^g will appear in tunics buttoned up, with silk sashes Military guests are exp,cted in mess dress,,f not supplied with them,thoy should appear in black civilian full dress. 31. When dinner will be ready, the mess ser- geantwill open the dining room door, bow to the •senior officer present, and announce dinner in this way : -Gentlemen, dinner is served" and go back to .he dini.g room, leaving the door ooen. The senior officer will load ; a few paces in rear, the other officers will cater the mess room without regard to rank or precedence, uod no special places Will be reserved for them at the table. 32 Od a guestnight the seniorofficer present Bhould sit at the centre of the table, right h i-id .ide, the second senior officer sitting opposite"to him. 1 he senior guest will sit at the right hand side of the senior officer, this place beinc con- sidered the seat of honour. When officers hive >m thoj fi^ ^ personal guests, tb£,y will have their guests stated near theirselves, 33. When at the conclusion of the dinner the wine has been placed before the President and Vice President: The President will make a«ign to the Vice-President and saj Mr. Vice ''the Queen" ihon the Vice President will say Gen- tlemen, "the Queen" both President and Vice- President will fill ..eir glasses and pass the decanters to their left, each officer fillin- his glass and saying aloud before drinking his "wine 'The Queen." Officers should take their wine sitting , except on special or extraordinary occasions such as the Queen's birth d-ay or^ in the presence of ^he Governor-Goneral ; when in those cases they will wait until all the glasses are filled and each set of decanters has reached the next point from which the other set has started, to raise together saying aloud "The Queen." As Her Majesty's health is proposed the mess sergeant should give a signal for the band to play a few bars of "God save the Queen." It is in no way obligatory for officers' to take wine after dinner when Her Majesty's health is proposed . 34. The old custom of having the band master nBjff' lO or band sergeant in the mesa room for a glass of wine is obsolete. • 35. After the "God save the Queen" has been played, the Senior officer present is the only one that can ask for some additional music. 36. The wine will be passed round the table as often as the President sees fit— time fcr passing the decanters to be taken from the Senior offi- cer. 37. No 'officer is at liberty to leave the table before the wine has been thus passed round twice, without asking leave from the President. 38. When the Governor General or a Lieuc Governor, the Minister of'Militia or the Officer Commanding the forces will dine at moPs, the officers will rise when they leave the table after dinner, but it will not be necessary for them to follow them therefrom. 39. On any day when there are guests ; The President and Vice-President will ait until they •etire — at other times they will remain until the wine has circulated twice, and then if others continue at the table and they themselves should wish to leave, thoy will ask an officer to sit for them. /* ^ 7 »:*rv /^ it > II 40.
