PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown Stallion, sl.audipg 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in IS6!). Got by Panic (imported); his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by DclaprtS (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, s>y Wanderer (imported).—See Victorian ■Sr.ltd Book, Vol. 11., p. Jft. Panic was imported from England to Tasmania, and put so the stud at 3 yrs. old. Ho was trained mil raced at 4, and again put to the stud. When he was 6 yrs. ohl, he was purchased at a high price and imported to Victoria, .viiere he had two more seasons' training and racing. He proved himself the best English horse ever trained in Australia, lie 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 firstclass English racehorse Alarm, "he was never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired from the turf without a blemish. At tho stud, dthough from being in an out-of-the-way place, he has not been favored by many lirst-class mares, he has got more winners out of half-bred ones than any horse in Viotoria, and for general purposes his stock is much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there is a combination of some excellent strains of blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, in chat, famous line througli Defence,- and which come 3 to him on the sides of both jiire 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 exxelient of all, that of Pantaloon. "Tho value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofß, 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 L'antaloon as to numbers. A very grand recommendation of this strain of blood is, that it mixes successfully with, and improves, all others." Thus writes Coppertliwaite, and other good turf authorities agree with him to the same eifect. On the side of tho dam of Pertobe 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 lirst-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. Delaprt's dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus tho First. Mrs. Roberts, tho great grand-dam of Pertobe, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is 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 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 otyic in which he carried lOst. into seoond place in the Melbourne Cup, were perform* auces of merit, and sufficient to satisfy the most exacting that he 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 raoe at Launceston in February, is a living example, t'ow horses have gone through such an ordeal as Melbourne, auother sou at present per» forming at Queensland. Tho greatest of all steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Hand, aid he is also a son of Panic. Postboy, i'ustcnan, Prodigious, and many other good cross country horses, too numorous to met* sion, are also descendants of the Bon of Ala; m. :> i'erms : L 5 sa, payable Ist of January, ISSO.
