Phillips, Esq., YiototiJj in 1869. Got by Panic (imported); hii Im ( Hester Grazebrook, by. The Premiej imported), out of Miss Napier, by |m. ported); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. ItoyKg, by Wanderer (imported).— See J%Xan Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. 47., Panio jm» ported from England to Tasmania, and Jut to the stud at 3 yrs. old. He was foiled and raced at 4, and again put to the iSd. When he was 6 yrs. old, he was purA.jLi at a high price and imported to Viotona, where he had two more seasons' trnafcgj and racing. He proved himself the but English horse ever trained in Australia, He ran remarkably well, and won Berenl races, carrying heavy weights ; he was bote speedy and staying, of a most docilo aid quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Like his sire, that firstclass English racehorse; Alarm, "he wu never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired froAi the turf without a blemish. At the stud, although .from being in an out-of-the-way place, he has not been favored by maay iirst-class mares, he ; has got more winners - out of half-bred ones than any horse in Via* toria, and for general purposes hia stock ia much esteemed.

In the breeding of PERTOBE there is a combination of some excellent strains of blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, it*; 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 b100d,.: 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 undeniahle, having furnished so many proofs, not alone as to its being speedy and staying, but also to its 'training on,' and being essentially & • running strain for although some others occasionally produce ono or two first-class animals, few, if any, can oompete with Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand recommendation of this strain of blood is, that it mixes successfully with, and improves, all others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, and other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On the side oi the dam of Pertobe there is a lot of good blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardroßsan more {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 Newminaters), The Delaprg blood is also very good indeed. Delaprd'a dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pertobk, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanna, by .Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, so much is the Wanderer Wood 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. 1878, says " I qould fill the Australasian with the doings of "Panic," and his des* cendants. As a sire g 00( i, sound, and useful stook he has never hadan equal in the Southern hemisphere. His victory in the Launceston Champion Race, and the style in which he carried 10st. into seoond place in the Melbourne Cup, were performances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy the most exacting that he was'a racehorse of ,&o mean order. The soundness of his stook has become a proverb on the Australian Turf, and the ancient Strop who won a race ,at Laundestori iii* February, is a living example. Few horses have gone through such an ordeal as Melbourne, another son at present per* forming iit Qaecusland. The greatest, of all steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Hand, and he is also a son of Panic. Postboy Postman, Prodigious, and many other good cross country horses, too numerous to men* cion, are also descendants of the jaon of Alarm." ■ Terms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of January, 1880.
