' PERTOBE, ia a . beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high, ' Bred by H.Phillipß,; : Esq., Victoria, to' 1869.. Got by Panic (imported) ;his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delaprd (im« ported); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by ( Wanderer (imported). See ( Victorian Stud Booh, Vol. //., p. - 47' : Pauio was im« ported from England to Tasmania, and put to the stud at, 3 yrs, old. Ho was trained, and raced at 4, aild Again put to the stud. When he was 6 yrs. old, lie. was purchased at a high prioe and imported to Viotoria* where he had two more seasons' training and racing. He proved . .himself ,the beats English horse ever trained in Australia. He ran remarkably well, and w'oh 1 several races,, carrying heavy weights; he was both speedy and. staying, of a most dctoile and quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Likehis sire, that first* class English, racehorse Alarm, "he wu never sick,'sorry, 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 Via. toria, and for general purposes hi* stock ia much esteemed.

In the breeding of PERTOBE there is a combination of some excellent strains of blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, in that famous line through Dofonoe, and which comes to him on the Bides of both sire and dam. On his sire Panic's side there is,- as well as his good Defenoe 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 proofb, 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 very grand recommendation of this strain of blood is, thafc 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 ol 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 Delapr<s blood is_ also very good indeed. , Delaprd'a dam, Portress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam pf Pertobs, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blctod W good, he being by Wanderer, by by Mercury, by Eclipse. In bq much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer was never known," and if they can trace a pedi* gree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient.

As a siro of good, sound, and usfeful stook he has never had an equal in the Southern hemisphere.' His victory in the Launceston Champion. Race, and the style in which he carried lQst. into aeoond place in the Melbourne Cup, were performances of merit, aud sufficient to, satisfy the most exacting thai Ho was. a racehorse of no mean order." The'soundness of his stock haa become a proverb on the Australian Turf, ' aud the ancient Strop who won a raoe at Launceston in February, is a living example. Few horses have gone through such an ordeal as Melbourno, another son at present per* forming at Queensland. The greatest of all steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Hand,, aud he is also a son of Panio. Postboy, Postman, Prodigious, and many other good cross country horses, too numerous to men* fcion, are also descendants of the aon of Alarm." Terms: L 5 6a, payable Ist of January, ISSO.
