Got by Panic (imported)his! dam,. Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by DelapW (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. .Robert*, by Wanderer • (imported), -w. See . Victorian Stud Boole, VoL 11., p. #7. Panic .was ilnported frcim England to Tasmania, and put to the stud at 3 yrs. old. He was 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' draining and racing. >He;prbved himself ;the .best English horsS' 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 and quiet teuiper, with a wonderful constitution,, and legs like iron. Like his, Bire, thatj ,firstclass English■ racehorse Alarm, ":he„w4s 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 plice, he has not been favored by .many first-class mares, he.has got more winners' but of half-bred ones than any hQraein Victoria, r _and for general purposes his tfttppk, ia much esteemed. .... In the'breeding of. PERTOBE combination of some excellent strains of blood; such' as the Waxy-Whalebone, ia that famous Une A 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 "blood, ' that of tie game" and stout Venison, the powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, moat excellent of all, that'of Pantaloon: " The ; value/of the Pantaloon-blood 19 undeniable,'' having furniahed'so'many a;'ttot'alone as to its being speedy and ptaying, hi# also to its'.training on,' and' bbinft :e'as'<gtially - a running strainJor, although' some tSthera " occasionally'produce oiie' of tWo first-class animals, few,, if any; can compete with I Pantaloon' as tb nutabers. *A v«iry grand-re«': commendation of. this strain of tKli it mixes.successfully with, and improves, all others. 1 ' Thus writes Coppßrthwaite, and other good.turf authorities agree with him to the. Bame effect. Oil' the sideof the dam of '-PafeTOßtf there '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 Newminaterß)., .The Delaprtf blood, is also very good, indeed. Delapri'a dam; Fortress* 'by' Defence, was! the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. Roberts,-the ; great gran&-dam, of' PBRtbBB, was by Wanderer; and Wanderer's blood ia good, he being" by by.Gqhanna, by Mercury, by Eclipse.. In Tasmania, so much is the' Wanderer "blood thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer .was never known," and if they can traoe.a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite" sufficient; PERTOBE, by o • •* > p "Augur," in the Australasian, Juno 15th 1878, says u I could fill the Australasian with the doings of "Panic,"and hi* descendants. As a airo of good, sound, and useful stock he has never had an equal in the Southern hemisphere.
