Stud Booh, Vol. IT., p. Iff. Panic was im- fli ported from England to Tasmania, and put IS to the stud at 3 yrs. old. He n.nd raced at 4, and again put tij.iae stud. 'r;/. When he was 6 yrs. oljfl, he was" purchased [i 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, f He ran remarkably well, and won several It races, carrying heavy was both j speedy and staying, of a most docile and f quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, \-~ and legs like iron. Like his sire, that first- jo? class English racehorse Alarm, "he was j>; never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired from | v : the turf without a blemish. At the stud, p| although from being in an out-of-the-way |; place, "he has not been favored by many f| lirst-class mares, he has got more winners fe. out of half-bred ones than any horse in Vic- p toria, and for general purposes his stock is p much esteemed.

In the breeding of PERTOBE there is a combination of some excellent strains of 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 side there is, as well as his good Defence bleod, 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, bufc *.i-=«> to its 'training on,' and being essentially a ' running strain ;' for although some others occasionally produce one or two first-elass animals, few, if any, can cQmpete with PantalootfaV "to numbexs. A vety grand recommendation of this strain of blood is, that it mixes successfully with, and improves, all others." Thus writes CopperthwaS-te, 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 graudsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare {the dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class racer, bn(j«£ also as the maternal ancestress of Englaajl'jr very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminsters). The Delapr<s Wood is also' ..very good indeed. Delapre's dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner; Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pertobe, was bv Wanderer, ari&.-Wanderer's blood is good, "he being by Wa.nfierer, by Gohanna, by Mercury, by EclipsC In Tasmania, go much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say "a'fbad one by Wanderer was never if they can tra£e a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider.that quite sufficient. ~r?' PERTOBE, by S* "3 5.5- ■ s 2 *** " Augur," in the Australasian, June 15th, 1878, says :—" I could fill the Australasian with the doings of "Panic," and his descendants. As a sire of good, sound, and useful stock he has never had an equal ia the Southern hemisphere. His victory in the Launceston Champion R.ace, and the style in which he carried lOst. into second place in the Melbourne Cup, *iveref performances of merit, atfd sufficientVto satisfy the most exacting that he was a racehorse of no mean order. The soundness of his stock has become a proverb on the Australian Turf, and the ancient Strop who won' a race at Launceston in February, is a living example. Few horses have gone through such an ordeal as Melbourne, another son at present performing at Queensland. The greatest of all steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Hand, and he is also a son of Panic. -Postboy, Postman, Prodigious, and many Mother good cross country horses, too numerous to mention, are also descendants 0 * ''he son o Alarm." tak Terms : L 5 ss, payable Ist of January, 1579.
