PERTOBE is a beautiful da' jpl 0 brown Stallion, standing 16 hands hi»h ' ifi?rl ei nK S hillip , s * Esc i- Victoria, h 1569. Got by Panic (unporte d); his dam Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (im' ported), out of Miss Napier, oy Delaprd (i m '. ported); Miss Napier's darn., Mrs. Roberts ! ?y (imported). See Victoriah Stud Booh, Vol. 11,, p. Panic was im. ported from England to Tasmania, and pat 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, he was purchased at a high prioe and imported to Victoria; where he had two more seasons' training and racing. He proved himself the beat English horse ever trained in Australia, He ran remarkably well, and won several race 3, carrying heavy weights ; he 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 waa never sick, Eorry, or lame," and retired from the turf without a blemish. At the stud, although from being in an out-of-the-way place, he has not been favored by many first-class mares, he has got more winners out of half-bred ones than any horse in Viotoria, and for general purposes hia stock is much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there is a. combination of some excellent strains of: blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, ini that famous line through . Defence, and which, conies to him on the sides of both, sire and dara. On his sire Panic's side 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 alone as to its being speedy and staying, but also to its 'training on,' and being essentially a ' running strain for although soma others occasionally produce one or two first-claw animals, few, if any, can compete with Pantaloon a.s to numbers. A very grand recommendation of this strain of blood is, that it mixes successfully with, and impry •es, all others." Thus writes Copperthw/* I and other good turf authorities agree 1 V him to the same effect. On the side of the dam of Pertobe there is a lot of good blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandsire, 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 England'ii very best family of racehorses at the preseat, time, viz., the Newminsters). The blood is also very good indeed. Delay's, dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam ok the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mra,. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pjsb'XQßßj, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood,i& 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 waa never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer maro, they consider thais quite sufficient.

As a sire. of good, sound, and useful stock: he has never had an equal in the Southern hemisphere. His victory in the Launceston Champion Race, and the style m which he .carried lOat into second place in the Melbourne Cup, wetre performances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy the most exacting that h.e was a racehorse of no mean order. The soundness of his stock haa, 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 an ordeal.' as Melbourne, another son at present performing at Queensland. The greatest of alJl steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone and he is also a son of Panic. Postboy, Postman, Prodigious, and many other good cross country horse 3, too numerous to men« tion, aro also descendants of the son of Alarm." Term 3: Loss, payable Ist of January, 18S0.
