PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing 16 hand* high. Bred by H. Phillip*, Esq., Victoria, in 1869. Got by Panic (imported) ; his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by the Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delaprd (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam Mrs Roberts, by Wanderer (imported).— See Victorian Stud Book, Vol. 11. , p. 47. Panic was imported from England to Tasmania, and put to tho 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' training and racing. He proved himself the best English horse ever trained in Australia. He ran remarkably well, and won several races, carrying heavy weights ; he was both speedy and staving, of a most docile and quiet temper, wth a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Like his sire, that firstclass English racehorse Alarm, "he was never sicx, sorry, or lame," and retired from the turf without a blemish. At tho stud, although from being in an out-of-the-way place, ho has not been favored by many first-class mares, bo has got more winners out of half-bred ones than any horse in Victoria, 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 sides of both ■ire and dam. On his sir* 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. " Tho value of tho Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not alone as to its being speedy and staying, but also to it* " training on, and being essentially a " running strain " ; for although some other* 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 others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, and other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On the side of the dam of Pertobe there is a lot of good blood coming in through The Premier, whoso grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardroesan 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 Delapre" blood is alsa V«ry good indeed. Delaprtf* dam, Fortrew, 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 Murcury, 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 consider that quite sufficient.

As a sire of good, sound, and useful stock, he has never had an equal in the Southern hemisphere. His victory in the Launceston Champion Race, and the style in which he carried lOst. into second place in the Melbourne Cup, were performances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy the most exacting that he was a racehorse of no mean order. The soundness of his stock has become a proverb on the Australian Turf, and the ancient Strop, who won a race at Launceston in February, i* a living example. Few horses have gone through such an ordeal m Melbourne, another ton, at protent performing in Queensland. 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 mention, are alio descendants of the son oi Alarm." Terms.— £s ss, payable Ist of January, 1879.
