Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (Q. ported), out of Miss Napier, by Delaprg (i®. ported); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Itnfjert? by Wanderer (imported).—See Victoria, Stud Booh, Vol. 11., p. 47. Panic was ported from England to Tasmania, and to the stud at 3 yrs. old. He was trained and raced at 4, and again put to the When he was 6 yrs. old, he was purchased at a high price and imported to Victoria, where he had two more seasons' trail and racing. He proved himself the 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 quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Like his sire, that tint, class English racehorse Alarm, "he never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired from the turf without a blemish. At the i although from being in an out-of-the-way place, he has not been favored by many first-class mares, he has got more winners out of half-bred ones than any horse in % toria, and for general purposes his stock ii much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there ii a combination of some excellent strains blood, suoh as the Waxy-Whalebone, it that famous line through Defence, which comes to him on the sides of 1 sire and dam. On his sire Panic's there is, as well as his good Defence blood, that ' of the game and stout Venison, the powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, moil excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. "Tbt value of the Pantaloon blood, is undeniable, haying furnished so many'proofs, not alom as to its being speedy and staying, but als to its 'training ou,' and being essentiallyll ' running strain for although some othaf occasionally produce one or two first-cla I animals, few, if any, can compete mil Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand rp I commendation of this strain of blood is, tk I it mixes successfully with, and improves, i!l others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, anil other good turf authorities agree with him I to the same effect. On the side ol I the dam of Pertobe there is a lot o! | good blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was IJ; Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (tbl dam of the mare Beeswing, celebratti I not only as a first-class racer, kill also as the maternal ancestress of linglauli j very best family of racehorses at the prwt I time, viz., the Ncwminsters). The DslaprJl blood is also very good indeed, Delapr&l dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam oil the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mfc I Roberts, the great grand-dam of I was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood ia| good, he being by Wanderer, by Golutna,! by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, i»I much is the Wanderer blood thought of, | that they say "a bad one by Wauderer wis I never known," and if they can trace apwij gree to a Wanderer mare, they couaider thilj quite sufficient.
