Horses, suitable for the Indian Market. PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown t Stallion, standing 16 hands 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 DelaprcS (imported); Miss Napierte dam,, Mrs. Roberta, by Wanderer (imported). See Vktoerim Stud Bookj VoL 11., j). £7, Panic .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- stud. When he was 6 yrs. old, lie 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 bpth speedy and staying, of a most docile and quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, 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 stud, although from being in an ont-of-the-way place,; he has not been favored by many first-class mares, he has got more winnera ; out of half-bred ones than any horse in Vic- • toria, and for general purposes his stock is t much esteemed! In the breeding, of PERTOBE there is to combination of aome excellent strains at blood, such as. the Waxy-Whalebone, in/ that famous line through Defence, and which cornea to him on the sides of both sire and dam. On his sire Panic's' bide there is, as well as his. good Defence blood, that of the game and stout Venison, the powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, most excellent of all, that of Pantaloon.. '' The value of the; Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many .proofs, not al6'no. as to its being speedy and staying, but also , to its 'training on,'and being essentially ' running strain for although some ofchtaia , occasionally produce one or two first-class; animals, few, if any, can compete with i Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand' recommendation of this strain of blood is,.thatt it mixes successfully with, and improves,, others." Thus writes Copperthwaita,, w.d" other good turf authorities agree w-ibln > a i m to the same effect. On tho. aid' j of the dam of Peiitobe there is. a. ' jo t 0 f good blood coming in through Ti» e p re . mier, whose grandsiro, Tomboy,, • wa3 by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan, it , are (the dam of the mare Beeswings celebrated not only as a first-class, racer, but also as the maternal ancestress 0 £ England's very best family of racehorses. ,• a t the present time, viz., the Newmiasters);, The DelaprA blood is also very good ku?i' je d.

As a sire of good, sound, and useful stock he has .never had an equal in the Southern hemisphere. His victory in tiie Launceston Champion Race, and the style in' which he carried lOst. into second place in the Melbourne Cup, were performances of merit, and. sufficient to satisfy the niost exacting that' he was a racehorse of no mean order. : The soundness of his stock baa become a proverb on the Australian Turf, and the ancient Strop who won a race at Launceston in "February, is a living example Few horses have gone through such au ordeal a3 Melbourne, another son at present per* forming at Queensland. The greatest of all steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Hand, and he is aiso a son of Panic.
