Bred by H. Phillips, Esq,, Viotpria, in 1869. Got by Panic (imported); his dam, .Hfester iGrazebrook, by, The, Premier (im-. ported), out Mias Napier, by (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported). See Victorian Stud Booh, Vol.; 11.,- p. jft. Panic was imported from England to Tasmania, and put to the stud at 3 yra. old. He was trained and .raced at 4, and again put to the stud. When h® was 6 yrs. old, he was purchased 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, o'f a most docile and quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron./ Like his sire, that first*, class' English racehorse', Alarm, "he/ was never iick, sorry, or lame," and retired from the turf without a -blemish. At the stud, although from being in an out-of-the-way place, he has'nbt beeii favored by many iirst-class mares, he has got more,. winners out of half-bred ones than any horse in Victoria, and for general purposes his stook is much esteemed. .

In the; breeding of PERTOBE there is a combination ,of some excellent strains of / blood, such as the Wajcy-?Whalebone, *. ia that famous line through Defenoa, and which comes to, him on the sides, of both: sire and dam.On his sire Panic's sid© 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. " Th® value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, . having furnished so many proofs, not alono aS to its being speedy and staying, but also to its ' training on,' and being essentially a ' running strainfor although some otliera occasionally produce one or two first-class 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 improves, all others." 1 Thus writes Copperthwaite,' and other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On the side of the dam of Pertobe there is a lot of good blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandgire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (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 Newminsters). The Delapr4 blood is also very good indeed. DelaprS'a dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam at the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the JTirst. Mrs, Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pertobjj, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanna, by Mercury,: by Eclipse. In Tasmania, so much is the Wanderer blood thought of, 'that they say " a bad one by Wanderer was never known," and if they can trace a pedi« gree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient.

As a aire of good, sound, and: useful stock he has never had an equal in the Southern hemisphere. - Hia victory in the Launceston Champion Race, and the style in which ho carried lOst. into seoond place in the Melbourne Cup, were perform' ances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy tho most exacting that he was a racehorse of no mean order. The soundness of his stook has become ai proverb on the Australian Turf, and the ancient Strop who won a race at Launceston in February, is a living examplo, Few horses have gone through such an oraeal 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, Postman, Prodigious, and many other good cross country horses, too numerous to men* tion, are also descendants of the son of Alarm." Terms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of January, 1880.
