He was trained and raced at 4, and again put to thn stud When he was 6 yrs. old, he was pivchaseu at a high price and imported to Victoria, where he had two more seasons' training 'and racing He proved himself the Knslish horse ever trained in Austram Be ran remarkably well, and won severs,' races, carrying heavy weights ; he was bo'h speedy and staying, of a most aocile unci quiet temper, wi r h a woirles fu' constitution. and legs like iron.

At. vhe Btud, althoiiidi froici being in an out-of-tho-way place,'"he has not been, favored by many first-class mares, he has got more winners out of half-bred ones than any huse in Victoria, and for geneial purposes his stock is much esteemed. Jn the breeding of PRRTORE there is a combination of 'some excellent strains o' blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, in that famous line througn D fence, and which comes to him on the sides of boih sire and dam. On his >ire Panic's tide there is, as well as his good Defence blood, that of the game and stout Venison, the powerful and speedy Melbourne, and. rnos: excellent <>f all, that of Puwaloon. " 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 be.ng essentially a ' running strain ;' for although some others occasionally produce one or two first-ela-s animals,' few, if any, can compete with Pantaloon a« to numbers. A very grand recommendation of this strain of blood is, that it mixes successfully wHi, and improves, all others." Thus wrtes Oopperthwaite, and other good turf aurhorities 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 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, butalso as the maternal ancestress of England's very bast family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newmimters). The Detapre blood is also very good indeed. Delapre's dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. Roberts, the great _grand-dn.ni of Pertobe, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is good,, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanna, by Mercury, by Kclipse. In Tasmania, so much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer was never known," and if they nan trace a pedi- ' gree to a "Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient. PERTOBE, by '• Augur," in the Australasian, June 15th, 1878, says :—"I could fill the Australasian, with the doiugs of " P.ime." and his descendants.
