And will stand at J. Henderson's Windmill, The fashionably - bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horse PER T O B E, Eminently suited for gotting Huntors, Handsome Weight-carrying Haoks, and Horses suitable for the Indian Markot 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 The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapr4 (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 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 beat English horse ever trained in Australia. He ran remarkably well, and won several races, carrying heavy weights; he was both speedy and staying, of a most dooile and quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Like his sire, that firstclass English racehorse Alarm, "ho was 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 Vio« toria, and for general purposes his stook is much esteemed.

In the breeding of PERTOBK there is a combination of some excellent strains of blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebono, 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, tho powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, moati excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. " Tho value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished sa many proofs, not alono 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 iirst-clasq animals, few, If any, can compete with Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand rflt commendation of this strain of Wood is, thati 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 Perxobjs there is a lot of good blood coming in through TUq mier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the mare (t>Uq dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first class racer, hut also as tfye ir\a,tgrnal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminstersj. The Oelaprd blood is also very good indeed. DelaprG's dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby wiuner, Pyrrhus the: First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pkrtobe, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blcioc( ia good, he being by Wandoror, by by by Lclip.se. Jn Tasmania, sq much is tfye Wanderer blood thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wandeyor never known*" if they can trace a pedi» gree to a Wanderer mare,' they consider that quite sufficient, PERTOBE, by i ' * -® fc Wo gf O) A LJ > a I B 5 » «' § 8M 5.

Jli'f 1 O- » i B "Augur," in the Australasian, Juno 15th 1878, says :—" I could fill the Australasian with the doings of " Panic," and liia degt cendants. 4? <V siro of good, souncL useful stock he has qever' W eqqsl ja the Southern hemisphere. ifts victory in the Launcgstoa Champion Raqe, and tho style in Tyhich hs carried IQst. into aeoond place in the Melhourae Cup, were performances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy the most exacting that he was a racehorse of no mean order. The soundness of his stock-has become a proverb on the Australian Turf, and the ancient Strop who won a nwo Launceston in February, is a liring Few horses have gone through qgch 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.
