Phillips, Esq., Victoria, jj ISG9. Got by Panic (imported); his dam Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (im! ported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapr6(im. ported); Mis 3 Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts by Wanderer (imported). See Victorian Stud Booh, Vol. 11., p. Jj.7 ■ Panic was im. ported from England to Tasmania, and put to the stud at 3 yrs. old. He was trained and raced at 4, and again put to the stud, When he was 6 yrs. old, ho was purchased at a high pno,o and imported to Victoria, where he had two more Beasons' training and racing. He proved himself the best English horse ever trained in Australia, He ran remarkably well, and won several races, carrying heavy weights ; ho was both speedy and staying, of a most docile ani quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution and legs like iron. Like his sire, that first, class English racehorse Alarm, "he was never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired froa the turf without a blemish. At the stii, although from being in an out-of-tho-'usj place, he lias not been favored by raony iirsi-class mares, ho has got more winners out of half-bred ones than any horse is Vic. toria, and for general purposes his s'wck i much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE tbere is a combination of some excellent strains o! blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, in that famous line through Defence, and which comes to him on the sides of both sire and dam. On his sire Panic's there is, as.well as his good Defence blood, that of the game and stout Venison, the powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, most excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. " The value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not alone as to its being speedy and staying, but also to its ' training on,' and being essentially i ' running strain for although some othen occasionally produce one or two first-clai! animals, few, if any, can compete with Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand recommendation of this strain of blood is, that it mixes successfully with, and i)i" ,J lsa,»l]l others." Thus writes Copperthw..i\ and. other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On tho side of the dam of Pektoee there is a lot ol good blood coming in through, The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy* ww by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan, rnaro (the dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class racer, but also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminstors). Tho Dulapri blood is also very good indeed. Delapr6'e darn, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs,. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Peiitods, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood iegood, he being by Wanderer, by Golnuma, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, sc> much is tho Wanderer blood thought of, that they say "a bad ono by Wanderer was. never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, thoy consider thai quite sufficient. PERTOBE, by P3 3*^ 3S*f 2.3 in the Australasian, June latb ISjS, saya " I could fill the Australasia with the doings of " Panic," and his descendants. As a sire of good, sound, useful stock ho has never had an equal in the Southern hemisphere. His victory i® the Launceston Champion Ilace, awl (tn® style m which ho carried lOst. into place in the Melbourne Cup, wore perfiS® l " anccs of merit, and sufficient to satisfy t" 9 most exacting that he was a racehorse of no mean order. The soundness of his 'jtock h** become a. proverb on the Australian run» and the ancient Strop who won a race » Launceston in February, is a living example Few horses have gone through such an oruew as Melbourne, another son at present performing at Queensland. The greatest of steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone .Hano* and he is also a son of Panic. Post oj. Postman, Prodigious, and many other go cross country horses, too numerous to m e tion, are also descendants of tho son Alarm." _ Terms: L 5 sa, payable Ist of IS?,(J.
