R T -O B' E, Eminently suited for getting Handsome Weiglrfcrcarrying Hacks, sjj Horses suitable for the Indian Market. PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple bn*[ Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, a 1869. Got by Panic (imported) ; his «U* Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (is ported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapri (i* ported); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. ty Wanderer (imported). See Vietoriii Stud Booh, Vol. 11., p. 47. Panic wag i» ported from England to Tasmania, : and pn to the stud at 3 yrs. old. He was trains and raced at 4, and again* put to the ttaj When he was 6 yrs. old, he was purchaMJ at a high price and imported to Victorij where he had two more seasons' traimuj and racing. He proved himself the btt English horse ever trained in Australij He fan remarkably well, and won seyeft; races, carrying heavy weights ; he was boli speedy and staying, of a most docile ul quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution and legs like iron. Like his sire, that flat class English racehorse Alarm, "ks vn never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired frss the turf without a blemish. At the stoij, although from being in an out-ofrthe-wsj place, he has not been favored by maij first-class mares, he has got more winmn out of half-bred ones than any horse in Tj> toria, and for general purposes his stock a much esteemed.

In the breeding of PERTOBE ther« ii i combination, of some excellent strains <i blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, is that famous line through Defence, aj which comes to him. on the sides of both sire and dam. On r iiis sire Panic's sidj there is, as well as his good Defence blood, that of the game and.stout Venison, tb powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, nosl : excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. "Thi / value of the Pantaloon blood is undemablt, | having furnished so many pkoofs, not al»M; ; | as to its being speedy and stayjsg, but »k|| to its ' training on,' and being essentially ill ' running strain ;' for although'aome othesgj occasionally produce one or two first-el»i|| animals, few, if any, can compel wiSlff Pantaloon as to numbers. A very graisTrfisß commendation of this strain of blood is, t&!|| it mixes successfully with, and improves, a!!g others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, sail other good turf authorities agree with Msp to the same effect. On the side «p the dam of Pep.tobe there is a lot o! good blood coming in through The Pr«. mier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was ij Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (til dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class racer, bs! also as the maternal ancestress of Englaad'i very best family of racehorses at the presat time, viz., the Newminsters). The Delaprf blood is also very good indeed. Del&prS't dam, Fortress, by Defence,- was the dam i! the Derby winner, Pyrrhiis the First. Ma Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pertoji, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood ii good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohansu, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, K much is the Wanderer blosA thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer vu never known," and if they can trace a pe& gree to a Wanderer mare, they consider tiul quite sufficient. PERTOBE, by "Augur," in the Australasian, June 15tfc, 1878, says :—" I could fill the Australasia* with tho doings of " Panic," and his d*»' cendants. As a siro of good, sound, sad useful stock he has never had an equal i» the Southern hemisphere. His victory is the Launceston Champion Rape, and tb> style in which he carried 10st. into secpnd place in the Melbourne Cup, were perfaraJf ances of merit, ancl sufficient to satisfy th» most exacting that he was a racehorse of n* mean order. The soundness of his stock hit become a proverb on the Australian Tttrfi and the ancient Strop who won a race *t Launceston iu February, is a living exampl* Few horses have gone through such an ordeal as Melbourne, another son at present pe*' forming at Queensland. The greatest of »ll steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lono Hand, and he is also a son of Panic. Postboy, Postman, Prodigious, and many other good cross country horses, too numerous to mention, are also descendants of the son o Alarm."
