B E, Eminently suited for getting Hunters, Handsome Weight-carrying : Hacksji jand, Horses suitable for the Indian Market. PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple.'brown Stallion,: standing 16 hands high, .• Bred; by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, In 1869. Got by Panic (imported); his'dam, Hester Grazebrook, by Tho Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapr£ (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported). See Victorian Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. Ifl. 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, he 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 AustraliaHe ran remarkably well, and won several races, 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 was never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired from the turf without a blemish. At the stud r „ 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 Victoria, and for general purposes his stock ia much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there is a combination of some excellent strains of blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, ia that famous line through Defence, and which comes to him on the sides of both sire and dam. 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. "Tho 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-class animals, few, if any, can compete with Pantaloon as to numbers. A verv grand recommendation of this strain of is, that it mixes successfully with, and improves, all others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, and other good turf authorities agree with 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's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminsters). The Delapr6 blood, is also very good indeed. Delapr6's dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pertobe, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood ia 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 was never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient.

As a siro or good, sound, and useful stock he has never had au equal ia tho Southern hemisphere. His victory in the Launceston Champion Race, and tho style in which he carried lOst. juto second place in the Melbourne Cup, were, perform.anoes of merit, and sufficient to satisfy the most exacting that he. was a racehorse of no mean order. The soundness of his stock haß become a proverb pn 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 all steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Hand, and he is also a son of Panic. Postboy; Postman, Prodigious, and many other good cross country horses, too numerous to me ®J tion, are. also descendants of the eon of Alarm."
