Sir John Plumb was a commanding figure, both within academe and also far beyond. He was as much read in the United States as in the United Kingdom; he was a great enabler, patron, fixer and entrepreneur; he belonged to the smart social set both in Mayfair and Manhattan; a race horse was named after him in England and the stars and the stripes were once flown above the US Capitol in his honour; and he appeared, thinly disguised but inadequately depicted, in the fiction of Angus Wilson, William Cooper and C. P. Snow. Yet one important aspect of Plumb's career has been repeatedly ignored and overlooked: for while his life was an unusually long one, his productive period as a significant historian was surprisingly, almost indecently, brief.

AbstractThoroughbred incentive programs are subsidy policies funded from state parimutuel tax revenue designed to promote regional race horse breeding and ownership. At issue is an ongoing debate concerning the effectiveness of alternative policies. Empirical results indicate that incentive programs have a positive economic effect, but gains to Thoroughbred breeders can be obtained by reallocating tax revenue to non-restricted purses. A policy allocating tax revenue to non-restricted purses shifts yearling demand and increases prices, while breeder subsidies shift only the supply function and therefore lower prices. Consequently, breeder revenues increase in response to a policy that favors non-restricted purses over subsidies.

A race-horse, which had been imported into the Malay States from Australia, got out of condition and occasionally coughed up thick pus. Five specimens of pus were brought to the laboratory between February and July, 1925, and on each occasion B. whitmori was isolated from it. The blood of the horse agglutinated the standard strain of B. whitmori in high dilutions. The morpho-logical characters, and the biological reactions of the organism isolated from the horse were the same as those of the type strain (Ragaviah) of B. whitmori; and cross-agglutination and cross-absorption tests showed that they were identical. The strain was highly pathogenic for guinea-pigs and rats. The horse was killed in September, 1926, eighteen months after B. whitmori was first isolated from the nasal pus. No active lesions were found at autopsy and B. whitmori was not isolated from the organs.

PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS APPRAISAL OF LOCAL AND IMPORTED RACE HORSES FEED IN MINAHASA The present study was conducted to determine the physical characteristics and nutrient content of racehorse diets both local and imported feed used mostly by race horse breeders in Minahasa region. Race horse breeding management in Indonesia fully adopts methods used in developed countries. Race horse breeders in Minahasa have been practicing of using oats as an imported ingredient to replace local feed rice. This is due to the lack of further testing of local feed, so that race horse breeders practice and rely on using imported feed ingredients to feed their horses just before the horse racing.  A survey method was used to collect data, using interviews and direct observations on several race horses breeding farms. Types and amount of feed (forage and concentrates) both local and imported given to race horse were taken about 500gr for samples analysis. Data were statistically analyzed using t-test. The results showed that the nutrient content of imported feed ingredients significantly higher (P <0.05) compared with local feed. Physical characteristics (color, flavour, shape, and texture) of local food (rice) was significantly different (P <0.05) from that of imported feed (oats). It can be concluded that the nutrient content of imports feed is higher than that of local feed, and physical characteristics of oat and rice, different in colour, shape, aroma, and texture, on the other hand, oat and rice have the same physical shape.
