PERTOBE is a beautiful dapplo brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high. Bred by H, Pnillips, Esq., Victoria, in 1869. Got by Panic (imported) ; his dam, Hester Grazobrook, by tho Premior (imported), out of Miss Napior by Delapro (imEortcd); Miss Napior's dam Mrs KobcitH, y Wandorer (imported). — See Victorian Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. 47. Panic Mas impoitcd from England to Tasmania, and put to tho stud at 3 yrs. old. Ho wat trained and raced at 4, and again put to tho stud. When ho was 6 yrs. old, no was purchased at a high price, and imported to Victoria, whore no had two moro seasons' training and racing. Ho proved himself tho best English horso ovor trained in Australia. Ho ran remarkably well, and won several races, carrying heavy weights ; ho was both speedy and staying, of a most docilo and quite temper, with a wonderful constitution, and legs liko iron. Liko his sire, that firstclass English racehorso Alarm, "ho was never sick, sorry, or lnino," and rotirod from tho turf without a blemish, At the stud, although from being in an out-of-tho way place, he has not been favored by many firKt-class mares, ho has got more winnois out of half-bred ones than any horso in Victoria, and for general purposos his stook is much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE thoro is a combination of somo oxccllont strains of blood, such as tho Waxy-Whalebone, in that famous liuo through Defence, and which comes to him on tho sides of both siro and dam. On his sire Panic's side thoro is, as well as his good Dofenco blood, that of tho gamo and stout Venison, tho powerful and spoody Melbourne, and, most excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. "Tho value of tho Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not alone ns to its buing spoody and staying, but also to its " training on, " and boing essentially a "running strain "; for although somo otheis occasionally produco one or two first-class animals, few, if any, can compoto with Pantaloon for numbers. A voiy grand rocommendation Of this strain of blood is that it mixes successfully with, and impiovos all othors." Thus writes Copj>erthwnito, and other good turf authorities agree with him to tho same effect. On tho side of tho dam of Pertobe thoro is a lot of good blood coming in through Tho Promior, whose grandsn c, Tomboy, wns by Jerry, out of tho Ardrossan maro (tho dam of the maro Booswing, celebrated not only ns a first-clueo rncor, but also as tho maternal ancestress of England's vory best family of racehorses at the present timo, viz., tho Nowminsters) Tho beluprft blood is also vory good indeed. Delapre's clam, Forties, by Dofonce, \\a* tho dam of tho Derby winner, Pyrrhua tho First. Mrs Roborts, tho great grand-dam of Pertoue, was by Wanderer, ana Wanderer's blood is good, ho being by Wanderer, by Gohanna, by Mercury, by Eolipso. In Tasmania, so much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that thoy say "a bad one by Wanderer was nover known," and if thoy enn traco a pedigree to a Wandorer marc, they consider that quite sufficient.

"Augur," in tho Auslrulasian, Juno 15th, 1878, says :—"1: — "1 could fill tho Australasian with tho doings of Panic and his descendants.
