Phillips, Esq., Victoria, fe» 1869. Got by Panic (imported) ; hig 4mb, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (-'— ported), out of Mis 3 Napier, by Delapr* ( ported); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberta, by Wanderer (imported). Set VUtoritta Stud Booh, Vol. 11, p. 47. Panic was im. ported from England to Tasmania, *nd p«s to the stud at 3 yr3. old. He -was traimed ~.r.:\ raced at i, and again put to this «t*dWlien lie was 6 yrs. old, he was purekae«4 at a high price and imported to Victoria, where he had two more seasons' braimiax and racing. He proved himself the k«it English horse ever trained in Australia, He ran remarkably well, and won sereral races, carrying heavy weights ; he wtm both speedy and staying, of a moat docile sod quiet temper, with a wonderful aomt'itatiM, and legs like iron. Like his sire, that firstclass English racehorse Alarm, "ke t never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired fr the turf without a blemish. At the ■tad, although from being in an out-of-the-way place, he has not been favored by rjtmny first-class mare 3, he ha 3 got more wimnerg out of half-bred ones than any horse in Vie. toria, and for general purposes his atoek ta much esteemed.

In the breeding of PERTOBE there is i L> combination of some excellent strain* of L blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, ia that famous line through Defence, and 't which comes to him on the sides' of both 3 r sire and dam. On his sire Panic's «d« V there is, as well as his good Defence bleod, - r that of the game and stout Veniaon, the >' powerful aud speedy Melbourne,..and, mast 'f excellent of all, that of Pantaloon! " The y value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, '; having furnished so many proofs," n«t aleo* e as to its being speedy and staying-, but also S to itH ' training on,' and being essentially • '' ' running strain ;' for although b occasionally produce one or two Sfr. : ' animals, few, if any, can comi'-~* »^» Y Pantaloon as to numbers. ' A very gramd reeb commendation of this strain of blood is, th&t it mixes successfully with, and improves, ill '» others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, amd f other good turf authorities agree with him < to the same effect. On • the aide ef e the dam of Pektobe there is a lot ti a good blood coming in through The Prer mier, whose graudsire, Tomboy, -was by ' Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (the > dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class racer, bst - also as the maternal ancestress of Englamd'i i very best family of racehorses at the pr«»ent ■ time, viz., the Newminsters). The Delapre' k blood is also very good indeed. Delaprt'e f dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of ■ the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs, Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pert&mx, • was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's bl*o4 ia i good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanoa, ' by Mercury, by Kclipse. In Tasmania, bo much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer va» never known," aud if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient. PERTOBE, by tog SP~i w-- • p "Augur," in the Australasian, Juno 15tk, 187S, says :—" I could fill the Australasias with the doings of " Panic," and hia deacendanta. As a sire of good, sound, Mad useful stock he has never had an equal ii bhe Southern hemisphere. His victory t» the Launceston Champion Race, and tiu style m which he carried lOst. into geoaad place in the Melbourne Cup, were perfona. inces of merit, and sufficient to satisfy tk* nost exacting that he was a racehorse of a» aiean order. The soundness of his stock ku Decome a proverb on the Australian Tarf, md the ancient Strop who won a raoe at -*aunceston in February, is a living example, ■'ew horses have gone through such an ordeal is Melbourne, another son at present parorming at Queensland. The greatest of all teeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Hand, ,nd he is also a son of Panic. Poatboy' Prodigious, and many other good ross country horses, too numerous to znea. ion, are also descendants of the son • Llarm." 'erms: Lo 53, payable Ist of January, 1579.
