PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in 1569. Got by Panic (imported); his dan, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by DeTapre' (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberta, by Wanderer (imported). See Victorian Stud Book, Vol. 11 , p. 47- ?*anic 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 stnd. 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 staying, of a most doeile and quiet temper, -with a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Like his sire, that firstclass English racehorse Alarm, "he was never sick, sorry, o.r.lame," and retired from the turf without-a-blemish. At the stud, although from being in an out-of-the-way place, he rras not been favored by many first-class mares, he has got .more winners out of half-bred ones than any horse in Victoria, and for general purposes his stock ia much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there ia a combination of some excellent strains of blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, ia that famous line through Defence, aa«L which comes to him on the sides of bath sire and dam. On his sire Panic's si*U there is, as well as his good Defence blood, that of the game and stout Venison, tha powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, xioat excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. *' The value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not alane as to its being speedy and staying, but also to its 'training on,' and being essentially » ' running strain ;' for although some other* occasionally produce one or two first-clasa animals, few, if any, can compete witfi Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand recommendation of this strain of blood is, that it mixes successfully with, and improves, afl others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, and other good turf authorities" agree with kim to the same effect. On the side «f the dam of Pertobe there is a lot ot good blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by T „„t. ~t H,„ dam of the mare Bajswing, celebrate* not only as a racer, but also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the presemt time, viz., the Newminsters). The Dalapro blood is a!3o very good indeed. Delapre's dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of PerT6.BE, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohaana, \by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, so much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer wag never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient. PERTOBE, by i "Augur," in the Australasian, June 15th, 873, say 3 :—" I could fill the Australasia* pith the doings of " Panie," and hia defendants. As a sire of good, seund, and iseful stock he has never had an equal ia he Southern hemisphere. His victory ia he Launceston Champion -Race, and tk* tyle in which\he carried into second ilace in the Melbourne Cup, nces of merit, vaud sufficient to satisfy tie iiost exacting that he was a rac%horse ef no aean The*soundness of hikstock has lecome a proverb on the AiktraDan. Tnrf, nd the ancient Strop who won a race at ,aunceston in February, is a living example. horses have gone through such an ordeal s Melbourne, another son at present pararming at Queensland. The greatest of all teepleehasers is undoubtedly Lone Hand, nd he is also a son of Panic. Postboy, 'ostman, Prodigious, and many other good ross country horses, too numerous to menion, are also descendants of the son o darm." 'erms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of January, I 1579.
