$ 3. Savrutes. Visits. UNIFORMS, AND MEDALS
The salutes to be paid to officers in Colonial Governments
ire formally laid down in Nos. 144-7 of the Colonial Regula-
ions. Governors are also authorized to sanction such salutes
as may have been customary, and also such as they may
deem right and proper at religious ceremonies, and further to
cause the usual salutes to be fired at the opening and closing
of the Houses of Parliament, but these salutes are in no
nase to exceed nineteen guns, It is customary on all such
becasions for guards of honour of the local forces to be pro-
vided, and for the National Anthem to be played.
Provision is also made in Nos. 156-61 of the Colonial Regu-
lations with regard to official visits between naval officers
and Governors and Lieutenant-Governors. The principle is
that the Governor shall always receive the first visit from
the senior officer in command, but a Lieutenant-Governor
pays the first visit to a flag officer or Commodore, 1st class,
who is a Commander-in-Chief. Special rules are laid down
as to the payment of return visits and other details.
According to the regulations approved by the King, uni-
forms? of the first class are assigned to the Governors-
General of Canada and Australia, the six states of the
Commonwealth and New Zealand, and to the Governor-
General of the Union of South Africa. The Governor of
Newfoundland is only entitled to a uniform of the second
class, which is also granted to Lieutenant-Governors and
Cabinet Ministers of Canada, the Commonwealth of Aus-
tralia, New Zealand and the Union of South Africa. The
civil uniform of the third class is assigned to members of
the Ministries in the states of the Commonwealth and in
Newfoundland, to members of the Privy Council of the
Dominion of Canada, who are not Cabinet Ministers, and
" This applies also to the Lieutenant-Governors of the Provinces, as was
admitted by Lord Kimberley in a dispatch of November 7, 1872; see
Ontario Sess. Pap., 1873, No. 67; Lefroy. Legislative Power in Canada.
