PEItTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. : Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in 1569. Got by Panic (imported); his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (im. ported), out of Miss Napier, by Delaprd (imported) ; Miss Napier's; dam, Mrs. Roberts,, by Wanderer (imported).—Sec Victoriaru Stud Booh, Vol. 11., p. 47. Panic was imported from England to ■ Tasmania, and put; to the stud at 3 yrs. old. He was trainedl aud raced -tit 4, and again put to the stud.. When he was 6 yrs. old, he was purchasedl at a high price and imported to Victoria,, where ho had two more. seasons'. training aud racing. He proved himself the beat English horse ever trained in Australia, lie ran remarkably well, and won several races, carrying heavy weights j he was both speedy aud staying, of ; a most docile and quiet temper, with a woaderful constitution, aud legs like iron, like his sire, that first, class English racehorse "he. •was, never sick, sorry, or lame," andi retirecl from, .the turf without a blemisli..'At l the stud,, although from being in axx out-of-the-way' place, he has not been favored by many first-class mares, he has got more winners out o,f; half-bred ones than any horse in Victoria, and for general purposes hia stock ia much esteemed. ' In the breeding of PERTOBiE there is a combination of some excellent, strains of blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, in that famous line through Defence, and which comes to him on- the sides of both sire and dam. On his sire Panic's Bide there is, a,s well as his good Defence blood, that oi the game and atout Venison, the powerful aud speedy Melbourne, and, most excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. " The value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not alone as to its being speedy and staying, , 'but also to its 'training on,' and being essentially a ' running strain for although some Others occasionally produce one or two first-chus. animals, few, if any, can compete withi Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand recommendation of this strain of blood isythat. it mixes successfully with, and improves, aIR others." Thus writes .Copperthwsdte, and other good turf authorities agrea "with him to the same effect. On the side ci : ■the dam of Pjsutobe there is a 'lot/of good blood coming in through. The Premier, whose graudsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (the: dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated! not only as a first-class racer, but; also as the maternal ancestress of very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newmiusters). The Delaprili blood is also very good indeed. DelapriS's dam, Fortress, by Defence, W93 the dam off the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs.. Roberts, the great gv&nd-dam of Pebtojib, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood l is good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanns, by Mercury, by Eclipse. Iu Tasmania, so much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer waa never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that, quite sufficient.

As a sire of good, sound, useful stock he has never had an equal'in the Southern hemisphere.His. victory 10 the Launceston Champion.
