Mountain Apple è in testa seguito da Sir Archibald, With Eagle, Sea Sick, Royal Realm, Signorinetta, Primer, Llagwm e Pom. Ma a soli 400 metri dal palo, fra la generale meraviglia, Signorinetta, montata da W. Bullock, IVANA INFANTINO passa al largo e vince facilmente per due lunghezze. Quella di Signorinetta fu una vittoria memorabile, riportata su tutti i giornali e i bol- lettini delle società ippiche italiane e straniere. Mai un italiano, prima e dopo di allora, ha iscritto il suo nome sulla lista dei vincitori del Derby di Epsom, battendo gli inglesi sul loro stesso terreno: l’allevamento dei purosangue. L’episodio rimane uno dei più radiosi della storia ippica nazionale, anche perché la protagonista oltre che appartenere ad un proprietario italiano aveva a sua volta origi- ni italiane: sua nonna era Star of Portici, la cavalla nata in Italia, secondo alcuni a Por- tici, ma da ritenere, come riferisce il Calabrini, nella provincia di Potenza, a Lavello nell’azienda di famiglia chiamata Prati della Speranza, come sottolinea Filippo Mosca- ti, autore del libro “Il Cav. Ginistrelli e la stirpe di Star of Portici”. La puledra conti- nuò poi a stupire e, a distanza di due giorni, si aggiudicò anche le Oaks, la prestigiosa gara riservata alle femmine, realizzando così una “doppietta eccezionale e rarissima” conseguita prima di lei solo da altre due femmine, e dopo soltanto da una. La storia è ancora più straordinaria se pensiamo che l’eccentrico cavaliere era partito da Lavello, nel 1880, coi suoi cavalli, alla volta dell’Inghilterra. E assume ancora di più i contorni di una favola nel momento in cui ci imbattiamo nella romantica storia d’amore equino da cui nacque Signorinetta, di cui vi racconteremo in queste pagine. Tornando al cavaliere, di lui poco si sa nel paese lucano dove allevava cavalli, no- nostante il suo ricordo sia ancora vivo fra gli sportsman di tutto il mondo e fra gli al- IVANA INFANTINO levatori che videro, e continuano a vedere in Ginistrelli la realizzazione del sogno più 96 M NDO BASILICATA agognato per chi percorre la difficile via del Turf.

    1 October 2008 [17-08] DRAFT ASSESSMENT REPORT APPLICATION A490 EXEMPTION OF ALLERGEN DECLARATION FOR ISINGLASS DEADLINE FOR PUBLIC SUBMISSIONS: 6pm (Canberra time) 12 November 2008 SUBMISSIONS RECEIVED AFTER THIS DEADLINE WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED (See ‘Invitation for Public Submissions’ for details) For Information on matters relating to this Assessment Report or the assessment process generally, please refer to http://www.foodstandards.gov.au/standardsdevelopment/ Executive Summary Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) received an unpaid Application from the Beer, Wine and Spirits Council of New Zealand (BWSCNZ) in 2003 seeking to amend the Table to clause 4 of Standard 1.2.3 – Mandatory Warning and Advisory Statements and Declarations, of the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code (the Code). Specifically, the Applicant is seeking an exemption from the requirement to declare isinglass (a processing aid commonly derived from dried swim bladders of certain tropical and subtropical fish) on the label, when present in beer and wine as a result of its use as a clarifying agent. The exemption was initially sought on the basis that isinglass has a long history of use as a fining agent in the production of beer and wine and has not been known to cause adverse reactions in susceptible individuals. The Applicant has now provided evidence that dietary exposure to isinglass through beer and wine consumption is extremely low. Results of oral challenge studies have also been provided indicating that isinglass does not cause an allergic reaction to fish sensitive individuals when consumed at levels substantially higher than the potential exposure levels that may be encountered through the consumption of beer and wine.

  • Elsie Venner by Oliver Wendell Holmes
    Elsie Venner by Oliver Wendell Holmes CHAPTER I. THE BRAHMIN CASTE OF NEW ENGLAND. There is nothing in New England corresponding at all to the feudal aristocracies of the Old World. Whether it be owing to the stock from which we were derived, or to the practical working of our institutions, or to the abrogation of the technical "law of honor," which draws a sharp line between the personally responsible class of "gentlemen" and the unnamed multitude of those who are not expected to risk their lives for an abstraction,—whatever be the cause, we have no such aristocracy here as that which grew up out of the military systems of the Middle Ages. What we mean by "aristocracy" is merely the richer part of the community, that live in the tallest houses, drive real carriages, (not "kerridges,") kidglove their hands, and French-bonnet their ladies' heads, give parties where the persons who call them by the above title are not invited, and have a provokingly easy way of dressing, walking, talking, and nodding to people, as if they felt entirely at home, and would not be embarrassed in the least, if they met the Governor, or even the President of the United States, face to face. Some of these great folks are really well-bred, some of them are only purse-proud and assuming,—but they form a class, and are named as above in the common speech. It is in the nature of large fortunes to diminish rapidly, when subdivided and distributed. A million is the unit of wealth, now and here in America.
