PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing 16 bands 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 Delapri (iiaported); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported).—See Victorian Stud Booh, Vol. 11., pi 47. Panic was imported from. England to Tasmania, and pat to the stud at 3 yra. old. He was trained and raced at 4, and again put to the Btud. and racing. Tffe~p^eJ" , i.Jfaa_Rarchaßed English horse ever trained in Australia. He ran remarkably well, and won several races, carrying heavy weights ; he was bsth speedy and staying, of a most docile and quiet temper, with a wonderful and legs like iron. Like his sire, that firstclass English racehorse Alarm, "he was never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired from the turf without a blemish. At the Btud, although from being in an •ut-of-the-way place, he has not been favored l»y many first-class mares, he has got more winners out of half-bred ones than any horse in Victoria, and for general purposes his stoek la much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBK there iB a combination of some excellent strains «f blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, itt that famous line through tmA which comes to him on the sides ef brat sire and dam. On his »ire Panic's aide there is, as well as his good Defence bleed, that of the game and stout Tenisen, tba powerful and speedy Melbourne, a*d, excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. " value of the Pantaloon blood is u»d*oi*M4, having furnished so many proofs, net aim* as to its being speedy and staying, but aue to its * training on,' and beinß essentially • ' running strain for although some etheirs occasionally produce one or two-first-daw animals, few, If any, can compete wiA Pantaloon as to numbers. _ A very grandeecommendation of this strain of blood is, WUjt it mixes successfully with, and improves, w others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, and. other good turf authorities agree wifck kit* to the same effect. On the side ef the dam of Pertobe there is a let ef crood blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was jjf Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (the dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated; not only as a first-class racer, bnfc, also as the maternal ancestress of England a very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminaters). The DalaprA blood, is also very good indeed. Delapri a dam, Fortress, by Defence, was. the dam ef the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs, Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pkrtobe, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanna, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, so much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer wasi never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient. PERTOBE, by

"Augur," in the Australasian, June 15th, 187S, says :—" I could fill the Australasian with the doings of " Panic," and his descendants. As a Biro of good, sound, and useful stock he has never had a& equal in the Southern hemisphere. His viotery in the Launceston Champion Race, a&d the style in which he carried lOat. into second place in the Melbourne Cup, were performauces of merit, and sufficient to satisfy the most exacting that he was a racehorse *1 no mean order. The soundness of his stock hat become a proverb on the Australian Tv& and the ancient Strop who won a race -a& Launceston in February, is a living example. Few horses have gone through such an ordeal as Melbourne, another son at present parforming at Queensland. The greatest of all steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Hud, and he ia also a son of Panic. Postboy. Postman, Prodigious, and many other goea. cross country horses, too numerous to men» tion, are also .descendants of the sou o Alarm." Terms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of January, 1879.
