He was trained and raced at 4, and again put to the etaj. When he was 6 yrs. old, he was purchased at a high price and imported to Victorij, where he had two more seasons' training and racing. lie proved himself the best English horse ever trained in Australia, He ran remarkably well, aud won several races, carrying heavy weights ; he was 1 " speedy and staying, of a most docile quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, and legs like irou. Like his sire, that lint, class English racehorso Alarm, "ho na never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired from the turf without a blemish. At the ati" although from being in an place, he has not been favored by many lirst-class mares, he has got more winnm out of half-bred ones than any horse iu Victoria, and for general purposes his stock ij muoh esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there is i combination of some excellent strains blood, such as tile Waxy- Whalobone, that famous line through Defence, a... which comes to him on the sides of both j sire and dam. On his tire Panic's there is, as well as his good Defence 1 that of the game and stout Venison, tit powerful and spoedy Melbourne, and, mui I excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. "Titl value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniablhaving furnished so many proofs, not alo as to its being speedy and staying, but ai bo its ' training on,' and being essentially 1 running strain ;' for although somo otlia occasionally produce ono or two iirst-clu animals, few, ii any, can compete witi Pantaloon .vt to numbers. A very grand re- _ cominoydation of this strain of blood is, tbfc it mixes successfully with, and improves, J/ others." Thus writes Oopperthwaito, and other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On the side of the dam of Pjsrtobe there is a lot of good blood coming in through The Premier, whoso grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (the dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class racer, bat also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminsters). The Dclapri blood is also very good indeed. DelapreS dam, Fortress, by Defenco, was the (lain of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs, Roberts, the great grand-dam of was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood it good, he being by Wanderer, by G ohiuiw, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In so much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say "a bad one by Waudwer \va! never known," and if they can trace a gree to a Wanderer mare, they consider tint quite suilicient.
