Weight-carrying Hacks, and" Horses suitable for the Indian Market. PERTOBE is a beautiful- dapple brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high. Bred by H. Phillips; Esq., victoria, in 1569. Got by Panic (imported); his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by DelaprG (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mm. Roberts, by 'Wanderer (imported). See Victoria?) Stud Booh, Vol. 11., p. 47. Panic waaim-'. ported from England to Tasmania, and jmfc " 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 purbhasod at a high price iand imported to; .Victoria, where he had two more seasons' training andj racing. He proved himself < tlie best English horse ever trained in Australia. He ran remarkably well,-and ; won several race's, carrying heavy weights ; he was both speedy and staying, of a most docile and quiet temper j with a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Like his sire, that firstclass English racehorse Alarm, "he. w&a 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 Elade, he has not been favored by many rst-class mares, he has got more winners out of half-bred ones than any horse in Victoria, and for general purposes his stook ia much esteemed. In the breeding of. PERTOBE the! 1 ® is a combination of some excellent strains of blood, such as the ytaxy-Whalebone, ia that famous line through Defence, and which comes to him oh the sides of both sire and dam. On his sire. Panic's sidq there is, as well as his good Defcnao blood, that of the game and stout Venison, tho powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, most excellent .of all, that of Pantaloon... " Tha value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, : not alona . as to its heing speedy and staying, but also to its ' training on,' and being essentially a ' running strain for although somo 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 Copperthwaite, and other good turf authorities agree with him to - the same effect. On tho side -oi the dam of Pertobe there is a lot oi good blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (tho dam of the mare Beeswing,-■ oelebrated not only as a first-class racer, but also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the' present timie, viz., the Newminsters). The Delaprt) blood is also very good indeed. Del»pr6's dam, Fortress, by Defence, was-tha dam oj the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the Firat. Mrs, Roberts, the great grand-dam of PjSRTOaK, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanna, by Mercury, by Eolipse. 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 pedii gree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient.

As a sjro q( 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 in which he carried lOst. into seQqnd place in the Melbourne Cup, were perform* ances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy the most exacting that he was a racehorse of no mean order. Tho soundness of his stoak has become a proverb on the Australian Turf, and the anoient 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 per? forming at Queensland. The greatest of aU steeplechasers is undoubtedly Loqe IJaflcl, and he is also a son of fani@. Postboy, Postman, Prodigious, asd many other good cross country hpraea, too numerous to men* tion, are also descendants of the son of Alarm." Terms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of January, 1880.
