Panic was im, rcorted from England to Tasmania, aud put to the stud at 3 yrs. old. He was trained and l-aued at -i, and again put to the stud. When ho was 6 vrs. old, he was purchased at a high price and imported to Victoria, where lie had two more seasons' training and racing. lie proved himself the best English lioivsc 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 aul quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, aud legs like iron. Like his sire, that first, class English racehorse Alarm, "ho \vaj never sick, 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 lias not been favored by many lii.-it-class marcs, ho has got more winnen out of half-bred ones than any horse in Victoria, and for general purposes his stock is much esteemed.

Iu the breeding of I'EivTOBIO there is a combination of some excellent strains oi blo.nl, such as the Waxy- Whalebone, in that famous line through Defence, and which comes to him on the sides of lioth sire and dam. On his eiro Panic's silt there is, as well a3 his good Defence blood, that of the game and stout Venison, the powerful aud speedy Melbourne, ami, most excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. "Kit value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not alone as to its Uoing speedy and staying, but ib to its ' training on,'and being essentially i ' running strain ;' for although some other! occasionally produce one or two lirst-cha animals, few, if any, can compute witti Pantaloon a<? to numbers. A very grand rej commendation of this strain of blood is, till it mixes successfully with, aud improves, alj others." Thus writes Copperthwaitc, other good turf authorities agree with I to the same effect. On the side cl| the dam of Pertobe there is a lot i good blood coming in through The mier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was l>yj Jerry, out of tho Ardrossan mare (tbi dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class raocr, bill also as the maternal ancestress of very best family of racehorses at the preset Lime, viz., the JSfcwminr.terH). The OuVa blood is also very good indeed, JJulam dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the da«io| the Derby winner, Pyrrluis the First. > Roberts, the great grand-dam of I'KP.r was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood J good, he being by Wanderer, by GoliaimJ by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, si much is the Wanderer blood thought «l that they say " a bad one by W an<lurerw| never known," and if they can trace a [iC'll -ree to a Wanderer mare, they consider tuf quite sufficient. PERTOBE, by sg O o s- cr p - <<; - °s P5 o - & p*o So S "Augur," in tho Australasian, Juuel'l 1878, says :—" I could fill the AuatraWj with the doings of " Panic," and li' s cendants.
