' PERTOBE is a .beautiful dapple. brown Stallion, standing I' 6. liaiids high, Brdd by H. in 1569.1 Got by Panic (imported); his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by Tho Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapr6 (imported) ; Miss Napier's.'dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported). See Victorian - Stud Book, Vol. 11, p. 47, 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 tho stud. When he. was 6 yrs, old, he was put-chased at a high price and imported to Viotoria, where he had two more seasoiis' training and racing. He proved himself tho best English horde .ever drained 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, "ho waa never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired from the turf without a blemish. At the stud, although from being.in an out-of-tho-way place, he has not been favored by many lirst-class mares, ho has . got more winners out of half-bred ones than any horse in Victoria, 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, ii* that famous line through Defence, and which comes to him on the sides of both sire and dam. On his sire Panic's sido thoro ia,: ao .\tolLjib.Jjja Mood, that of the game and. stout Venison, the powerful and speedy 'Melbourne, and, most excellent of all, that of Pantalooij, " Tho value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not alone as to its being speedy and stayiug, 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, that it mixes successfully with, and improves, all others." Thus writes Copperthwaito, 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 Tho Premier, whose grandsiro, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (the dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first -class racer, buk also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminsters). The Delapr4 blood is also very good indeed. Delaprd'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 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 marc, they consider that duite sullicicnt.
