This set of china includes the following pieces: two (2) 10" round plates, three (3) 9 1/2" round plates, one (1) 10" novelty plate, one (1) 9 1/4" x 7" oval plate, one (1) 7 1/4" round plate, four (4) 6" round plates, one (1) ceramic drinking pitcher, one (1) cappachino cup and saucer (diameter of 4 1/2"), two (2) coffee cups and saucers (diameter 4"), one (1) 3 1/2" round cup, one (1) 3" x 3" round cup, one (1) 2 1/2" x 3" drinking glass, one (1) mini cognac glass, two (2) 2" x 4 1/2" shot glasses, three (3) drinking glasses, one (1) 3" x 5" wine glass, two (2) 4 1/2" x 8 3/4" silver dishes. The ship was remarkable in that it was the first nuclear-powered merchant ship. It was constructed with funding from United States government agencies with the mission to prove that the US was committed to the proposition of using atomic power for peace and part of President Eisenhower's larger "Atoms for Peace" project. The sleek and modern design of the ship led to some maritime historians believing it was the prettiest merchant ship ever built. This china embodies both the mission of using nuclear power for peace while incorporating the design inclinations of the ship.

Tres generaciones de socios han transmitido valores y normas de con- ducta para la convivencia social muy difíciles de igualar y que hacen al prestigio nacional e internacional del Jockey Club. Miguel Cané lo definió como un club aristocrático, porque en él la aristocracia no es una mera con- dición social, sino que implica “la pertenencia a una institución social, vasta y abierta a todos los hombres cultos y honorables”. Hoy, las circunstancias nos obligan a reflexionar profundamente para que nuestros actos futuros contribuyan a preservar tanto la honorabilidad de los socios como ese clima de caballerosidad e hidalguía legado por los fun- dadores, valores que hemos sabido cultivar y que quisiéramos transferir a las generaciones de socios que vendrán.
