LA DOMENICA DEL CORRIERE. 22 dicembre 1929. Anno XXXI - N. 51.
In-4, brossura, in buono stato di conservazione. In questo numero: "Un funerale senza precedenti s'e svolto a Treviso. Mille salme di soldati morti in guerra sono state trasferite, in commovente corteo, dal Cimitero comunale alla cripta del Tempio votivo, loro definitiva dimora. Ogni spoglia era contenuta in una cassetta portata a mano da congiunti, da soldati, da privati cittadini." "Una tragica lotta notturna s'e svolta sopra un piroscafo britannico nelle acque di Hong-Kong. Trenta pirati, camuffati da passeggeri, si sono precipitati sul ponte di comando per impadronirsi della nave. Esasperati per la resistenza opposta dall'equipaggio, hanno cosparso di petrolio e incendiato la tolda. Tra i bagliori dell'incendio la lotta è continuata per molte ore sino all'arrivo di un cacciatorpediniere inglese. Vi sono stati cento morti.".

(Roma, Tip. Senato, 1887), stralcio con copertina posticcia muta, pp. 167/170 con una tavola litografica a colori - !! ATTENZIONE !!: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo di rivista, sia che esso sia stato stampato a parte utilizzando la stessa composizione sia che provenga direttamente da una rivista. Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perchè ci è sconosciuta. - !! ATTENTION !!: : NOT A BOOK : “estratto” or “stralcio” means simply a few pages, original nonetheless, printed in a magazine. Pages are indicated as in "from” “to", for example: 229/231 means the text comprises three pages (229, 230 and 231). If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.

Gymkhana races of the HongKong Polo Club - the Fai-Tee Stakes caption title
London.: The Graphic. March 151890. Engraving 15.1 x 22.6 cm plus caption on a trimmed newspaper leaf slightly toned the images in very good condition. Engraving redolent of colonial Hong Kong from a sketch by an engineer of the China Squadron Charles E. Eldred the Hong Kong Almanack for 1891 lists him as being aboard the British vessel Victor Emmanuel. The Hong Kong Polo Club also had strong military ties as the original commentary attests below the Secretary of the Club was a Staff Major Fletcher of the Royal Artillery. <br> <br>"This meeting took place on November 28th having been post poned on account of bad weather. The Chinese coolies were much interested in the bagpipes of the Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders probably because to their ears the sound bears a very close resemblance to that produced by a common Chinese instrument something like a flageolet. Within the enclosure almost the only people not English were the Chinese chair-coolies and the mah-Joos grooms. The chair-coolies cluster outside the Grand Stand the balcony of which is occupied chiefly by ladies. The professional coolies were naturally highly interested in the Chair Races which were the most amusing events in the programme. In the Fai-Tee Stakes the gentlemen amateurs appeared in regular coolie-costume. One of the riders borrowed his bagpipes from one of the Highland pipers; but they proved his destruction for when his team came to grief just outside the winning-post he sat on the ground playing his pipes and deafening himself to the shouts of the judges who were endeavouring to inform him that he had not passed the winning-post. In our picture the pipers have been accidently omitted.-Our engraving is from a sketch by Mr. Charles E. Eldred H.M.S. Cordelia Hong Kong."
