Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in 1869. Got by Panic (imported);; his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by' The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delaprg (im, ported);. Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported). -—See Victorian Stud Booh, Vol.. 11., p. Jft. Patiic was im. ported from England to Tasmania, and put to the stud at.3 yrs. old. He waa trained and raced at '4, and again put to the stud, .When he 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 beat English horse ever trained in Australia, Re ran remarkably well, and won several races, carrying heavy weights ; he was both speedy and staying, of a most docile and quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Like his sire, 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 being in an out-of-the-way place, he has not been favored by many iirst-class mares, he has got more winners out of half-bred ones than any horse in Vie. toria, and for general purposes his stock is 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 Bides of both sire and dam. On his sire Panic's side 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. " The value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not alone as to its being speedy and staying, but also to its 'training on,' and being essentially a ' running strain for although some others 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 oth'f:s." Thus writes Copperthwaite, and othJ'i good turf authorities agree with h"to ~.'lie same effect. On the siile of the dam of Pertobe tkire ■is a' 'lot of good blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandsire, 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 Delaprd blood is also very good indeed. Delapr6's dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs, Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pkrtobe, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanna, l>y Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, so much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer waa never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a "Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient.

As a sire hi good, Bound, and useful stock he has ni&ver had an equal in the Southern hemisphere. His victory, in the Launceston Champion Race, and the style in which he carriei|'lOst. into second place in the Melbourne G.flp, were performances of ( merit, and sufficient to, satisfy the most exacting that' he was a s facehorse of no mean order. The soundness df his stock hai become a ,proverb' on the Australian-Turf, and the ancient Strop who won' a race »' Launceston in February, is a living example* Few horses have gone through such an ordoal as Melbourne, another son ,at present performing at Queensland.
