Para. 2. It is our wish and desire that regimental rise should in every case be brought into fali operation at the earliest practi cable period after the arrival of the cadet at the presidency for which he is appointed.

3. With this view the lists of rank of cadets are forwarded by the first opportunity after the can be finally arranged, and upon an average no cadet has been more than two or three months in India before you are apprized of the order in which he stands for If there be then a vacancy succession to a regimen al vacancy and he s ant first of the unposted cadets he should be immediate ly appointed to fill it, so that his pa ticipation in the chances of regimental rise may a once commence.

4. The supply of cadets being duly apportioned to the wants of the service it will seldom happen if the above rule be carefully acted upon, that any one regiment has more than one vacancy at a time and consequently that under ordinary circumstances no necessity will arise for the transfer of cornets or ensigns from One regimen to another.

5. Should cases arise hereafter in which there are two or ·more vacancies in any one regiment whilst other regiments of the same army are complete, we concur in opinion with the Commander in Chief that the senior cornet or ensign would gain one step by removal should if he desire it be granted that advan tage.
