PhP.TOBE is a boautitul dapple brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in IS<.!9. Got by Panic (imported); his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (ini. ported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapr? (im. ported) ; Miss Napier's darn, Mrs. Robert?, by Wanderer (imported). — Sec Vtctcncfi Stud Booh, To?. //., p. 47. Panic was im. ported from England to Tasmania, and pet to the stud at 3 yra. old. He -was trained and raced at 4, and agaiu put [to the stud. When he was G yrs. old, he was purchaspd at a high price and imported to Victoria, where lie 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 boto speedy and staying, of a most dccil'; *nd ■ juiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Like his aire, that firstclass English racehorse Alarm, "he was never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired from the turf without a blemish. At the stud, although from beinj; in an out-of-the-way-place, he has not been favored by niauy iirst-claas mares, he has got more winners out of half-bred ones than any horse in Victoria, and for Kcueial purposes his stock is much esteemed. | In the breeding of PER.TOBE there is a i combination of some excellent strains of blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, in i that famous line through Defence, and which comes to him on the sides of both I sire, and dam. On his sire Panic's side there is, as well as his good Defence blond, 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 a!-> ! to its ' training o:i,' and being essentially ;t

; running strain ;' tor although some others occasionally produce one or two first-ckse animals, few, if any, can compete with Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand re- I "".elation of this strain of blood is, that ' others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, ami other good turf authorities with him to the same On the aide of tiie dam of i'i:i:Tof:fi there is a 1.-.t n: iioon blood coining iu through The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by •ferry, out of the Ardross; dam i>f the mare Beeswing, tacuui™ not only as a first-class racer, hut also as the maternal ancestress of England's I very hest family of racehorses at the present | time, viz., the Newminsters). The Dtdapiv \ blood is also very good indeed. Delapr«'"s dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam o! . the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. f Roberts, the great grand-dam of IJKI:Tn»K,l J KI:Tn»K, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's bloud i= good, he. being by Wanderer, by Oohanna. by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, .=» much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer was never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient.

" Augur," in the Australasian, June loth. IS7S, says :—" I could fill the Australasia with the doings of " Panic," and hi.s descendants. As a sire of good, sound, ami useful stock he has never had an equal i» the Southern hemisphere. His victory in the Lauueeston Champion Race, and the style in which he carried lOst. into secoml place in the Melbourne Cup, were performances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy the most exacting that he was a racehorse of uu mean order. The soundness of his stock 1.83 become a proverb on the Australian Tun, and the ancient Strop who won a race at Lauuceston in February, is a living exampif. Few horses have gone through such an ordeal as Melbourne, another son at present informing at Queensland. The greatest of ail steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Haitfi, and he is also a sou of Panic. Postboy, Postman, Prodigious, and many other good cross country horses, too numerous to mention, are also descendants of the son o: Alarm."
