(imported); Miss Napier's dain, Mr£' Roberts, by Wanderer (imported)* —,See Victorian Stud Booh, Vol. 11., p. Iff.' Panic was imported from England to Tasmania, and put to the stud at 3 yrs. old. Ho 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 liad two more seasons' training and racing." He proved himself • the-besk-English horse over trained in Australia, lie ran remarkably well, and won sovoral races, carrying heavy weights ; lift wajSsbotli sjpeedy 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, ho has not been favored'by many first-class mares, he has got mope -winners out of' half-bred ones than any ho?s& in Victoria, and for general purposed hii ' stock is much esteemed. In the breeding"'ofi PERTORE-thero iir.. a. : combination of- some excellent • strains" of blood,i such, as thb Waxy;Wbalebone, ia. that famous line through. .Defence, ; and which comes to him , on' the sides of both sire and dam. On his sire Panic's "sida there is, as well as his good Defence blood, that of the game and stout Venison, tha powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, mostJ excellent. of all,' that of Pantaloon, . " The - value : of :the Pantaloon blood "is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not alona as to its being speedy and staying, bijt -also to its 'training on,' and being essentially a. ' running strain for although some others occasionally produce one or! two'-ftrat-plaas' animals, fey?#.; if; any,, can compete with Pantaloon as to numbers. A'very grand recommendation of this strain'of blood is j-that it mixes success fully-Vithy'and improves, all others." Thus writes Coppei-th'waite, and other'good turf authorities' rtgree ivith him : to the same effect.. On. the side of the dam of Pertobe there ia a lot of good blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy,' was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan maro • (tlio dam of the mare ■ Beeswing, celebfated uot 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 Newininsters). The DslaprS blood is also very good indeed. "Delaprfi's dam, Fortress, by Defence,'was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pblitobe, 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 blood thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer was never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they oonsider that quite sufficient;, PERTOBE,by " Augur," in the Australasian, June 15tfi 1878, say 3 : —" I could fill'tho Australasian with the- doings of ; s " Panic," aftd hia , descendants.
