PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria. 1869.. Got by Panic (imported); his dam Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (im ported), out of Miss Napier, by Delaprd (im ported); Miss. Napier's dam, Mrs. lloborta by Wanderer Victoria* Stud Book,. Vol. 11, p. 47. Panic wTL ported from England to Tasmania, and put to the stud at 3 yrs. old. He was trainei and raced at 4, and again put to tho stud When he was 6 yrs. old, he was purchased at a high price and imported to Viotoria where he had two more seasons' L —' ' * and racing. He proved himself the best English horse ever trained in Auatrali* He 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 first class English racehorse Alarm, "he was, never sick, sorry, or lame*" and retired from, the turf without a blemish. A£ the stud, although from being ia 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 Viotoria, and for general purposes his atook ii much esteemed. In the breeding of, PERTOBE there ia a combination of some excellent strains of blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone in that famous line through Defence, and which comes to him on the sides of both sire and dam. On his sire Panic's Bide there is, as well as his good Defence blood, that of the game and stout Venison, the powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, moat excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. "The value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, 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 ia, thafc it mixes successfully with, and improves, alt others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, and other good turf authorities agree with him. to the same effect. On the side o£ the dam of Pertobe there is a lot o£ good blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by: Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (tha 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, yiz., the Newminsters). The Delapr6 blood is also very good indeed. Delaprd'a dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First, Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pbrtobj, 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 Wandererwm never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer nuire, they consider that quite sufficient, PERTOBE, by c *1 wo K' (t o » c a e-a o 0 go IE •« 3 fij *"1 fri.* 2*HJ ft. sa O H 2 a " 3 2S 'tlw a re S "*5 CI S cw - 1 P-S u'tn 'ova hj?.?
