PERTOBE, eminently suited for getting Hunters, Handsome Weight - carrying Hacks, and Horses suitable for the Indian market.

PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high. 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 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 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, whero 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 staying, of a most docile and quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Like his tire, 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 first-class mares, ho has got more winners out of half-bred ones thnn 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 sire 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. " 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 ebsentially 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 others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, and other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On the side of the dam of Pertohe there is a lot of good, blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrotsan marc (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 Newminstcrs). The Delapr6 blood is also very good indeed. Delapre's dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the flam of the Derby winner, Pynhus the First. Mrs Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pertohe, ■« as by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is good, ho being by Wanderer, by Gohanna, by Murcury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, bo much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer vas 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 on equal in the Southern hemisphere. His victory in the Launceston Champion Race, and the ■tyle in which he carried lOtt. 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 baa become a proverb on the Australian Turf, and the ancient Strop, who won a race at Launceston in February, is a living example. Few horses have gone through such an ordeal as Melbourne, another ion, at present 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 hones, too numerous to mention, are also descendants of the son of Alarm." Terms.— £s 6s, payable Ist of January, 1879.
