Roberts, by Wanderer (imported).— See Victorian Stud Book, Vol.-11., pi 47. Panio was im« portedifrom.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, he was : purohaaedl at a high price and imported to Victoria,, where he had two more seasons' 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; he was both speedy and staying, of a most docile, and! quiet temper, with a wonderful and legs like iron; Like his Bire, that firsfcclass English racehorse Alarm, "•]£«• **«» never sick, Borry, or lame," and retired from* the turf without a blemish. At 'the although from being in an out-of-the-way place, he has not been favored by-many first-class mares, he has got winners out;of half-bred ones than any horse in Viotoria, and for general purposes his stook is much esteemed.

In the breeding of PERTOBE there is a. combination of some excellent strains oil blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, in that famous line through Defence, andi which comes to him on the sides of both sire and dam. On his sire Panic's aiilj©; there is, as well as his good Defence blood, that of - the game and stout Venison,. she value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable,, haying furnished so many proofs, not alon* as to its being speedy and staying, but also to its 'training on,' and being essentially a. ' running strain;', for although some ,othar» occasionally produce one or two first-clas* . animals, few, if any, can compote with Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand recommendation of this strain of blood is, that it-mixes successfully with, and improves, all others." Thus writes Ooppoxthwaite, and other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On the side oft the dam of Pertobh- there is a lot off good blood coming in through The PJra? mier, whose graudsire, Tomboy, was fay Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare Jth» dain of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class racer, bub also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminstersi. The Delapre" blood is also very good indeed. Delapre'a' dam, Fortress, by Defence, waa the dam of. the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mm. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Px&Toaß* was by.Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood i* good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohaana,, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania," so. much is the Wanderer Wood thought of* that they say "a bad. one by Wanderer waa never known," and if they can traoe a pedU gree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient. PERTOBE, by - "Augur," in the Australasian, Juno 18th 1878, says :-—" I could fill the Australasian with the doings of "Panic," and his descendants. As a 'siro of good, sound, and useful stock he has never had an equal in the Southern hemisphere. Bis viotory in the Launceaton Champion Race, and the. style In which ho carried; lOat. in to. second place in the Melbourne Gup, were perform* ances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy tha ; most exacting that he was a racehorse of ho | mean order. The soundness of hisstook has become a proverb on the Australian Turf* and the ancient Strop who won a race at Launceaton in February, is a living example. Few; horses have gone through such an ordeal as Melbourne, another son at present per* forming at Queensland. The greatest of all' steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Hand, and he is also a son of Panic Postboy. cross country, horses, too numerous to men* tion, are also descendants of the son of Alarm;" Terms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of January.
