Of every month.
ORDINARY FUL-DRESS UNIFORM.
The ordinary full dress uniform is
prescribed for such occasions as the
premier visit to other officers of flag
rank and for all social functions. at
which officers are expected to attend in
their official capacity. The coat is cut
like the evening dress Of the civilian.
Except for the collar and the buttons
ON the front, the coat does not differ
from that of the special full-dress uni
form. Epaulets, sword and cooked hat
are en- regle.
The third uniform in Importance is
the dress" uniform. This is to be
donned whenever the Admiral boards
a ship-of-war, in making the first visit
in port upon commanding officers, on
parades OF ceremony with enlisted men
under arms, and at all other Sunday
inspections save the one occurring up
on the first Sunday in the ninth. This
sartorial CONNECTION will comprise
frock coat, plain white or blue trous-
ers, cooked hat, epaulets, sword, and
plain leather belt The belt is OF
black-grained leather, of not more than
two inches in width The belt plate is
of yellow gilt, being adorned with
wreath of oak leaves circling the naval
coat-of-arms of thirteen stars about a
spread eagle perched on an anchor.
Should the Admiral be required TO
attend a court of inquiry, he would
wear the frock coat, plain white or blue
trousers, a blue cap, ornamented with
gold oak leaves on the crown, and the
rim of the visor. He would wear
shoulder straps in lieu of epaulets, with
a sword and a plain leather belt.
ADoRNdENTS FOR THE CAP.
The cap, which requires a special de-
scription, perhaps, consists of dark
blue cloth, with the protruding top al
ready in vogue, with visor of black
patent leather lined with green, and
covered with blue Cloth, embroidered
around the rim with sold oak leaves.
Upon each side, near the temples, is a
small navy button, TO which will be fas-

with gold lace In front will be a sill
yer shield, emblazoned per pale, of
thirteen pieces, with a chief strewn with
stars surmounted by silver spread
eagle, the whole being fixed upon two
crossed foul anchors. embroidered in
gold.
There are other agonizing features
of the Admiral's toilet for divers 9TH
er occasions, which would give Paris
ian society belle the fan-tods. The
aforementioned uniform, however, will
be requisite when the Admiral calls
upon foreign officers, other than those
in command, and upon such social oc-
casions when frock coats are proper,
the sword and belt being omitted.
During service duty on board ship, and
at all times not provided for by the
regulations for the foregoing uniforms,
the Service dress" uniform will be
worn. This consists of blue or
white service coat, with trousers and
cap to match. In conjunction will be
