PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, i Q 1569. Got by Panic (imported); his dam Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (im* ported), out of Miss Napier, by Delaprd (im. ported); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. linberts by Wanderer (imported). See Victorian Stud Book, Vol. 11., £)■ J+7. Panic was im. ported from England to Tasmania, aud put to the stud at 3 yrs. old. He was trained and raced at 4, and again put to the stud. When ho was 6 yrs. old, he wa3 purchased at a high price and imported to Victoria where he had two more seasons' training and racing. Ho proved himself the best English horse ever trained in Australia, He ran remarkably well, and won several races, carrying heavy weights ; ho was both speedy and staying, of a most docile and quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Like his sire, that first, class English racehorse Alarm, "he was never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired from the turf without a blemish. At tho stud, although from being in an out-of-the-way place, he lias not been favored by many tirst-class mares, he has got more winners out of half-bred ones than any horse in Victoria, and for general purposes his stock is much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there is combination of some excellent strains blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, that famous lino through Defence, and which comes to him on the sides of both sire and dam. On his sire Panic's there is, as well as his good Defence blood that of tho game and stout Venison, powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, n excellent of all, that of Pantaloou. " Tin value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable having furnished so many proofs, not alono as to its being speedy and staying, but also to its ' training on,' and being essentially ' running strain for although some others occasionally produce one or two first-class animals, few, if any, can compcto with Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand commendation of this strain of blood is, thai it mixes successfully with, and improves, others." Thus writes Oopperthwaito, aud other good turf authorities agree with h to the same effect. On the side the dam of Pertobk there is a lot good blood coming in through Tho Pre inier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was Jerry, out of tho Ardrossan maro (I dam of tho mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class racer, but also as the maternal ancestress of England very best family of racehorses at tho present time, viz., tho Newminsters). The DdlaprJ blood is also very good indeed. Delapri's dam, Fortress, by Defence, was tho damo! the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pkiotie, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanw, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, much is the Wanderer blood thought c that they say " a bad one by Wanderer vis never known," and if they can trace a pedi gree to a Wanderer mare, they consider thst quite sufficient. PERTOBE, by O in

"Augur," in the Australasian, Judo 15"> 1878, says " I could fill tho Australasia with the doings of " Panic, "aud his cendants. As a siro of good, sound, useful stock lie has never liad an equal 1° the Southern hemisphere. Ilia victory 1° the Launceston Champion Kace, and style in which he carried lOst. into secon place in the Melbourne Cup, were perform 1 ances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy ' most exacting tliat he was a racehorse of B mean order. The soundness of his stock n become a proverb on the Australian and the ancient Strop who won a raca . Launceston in February, is a li viugexarop. Few horses have gone through such an ord as Melbourne, another son at present reforming at Queensland. The greatest ot steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone iij®. and he is also a son of Pauic. l° s ' ; Postman, Prodigious, and many other g cross country horses, too numerous to w tion, are also descendants of the son Alarm."
