PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple browa Htallion, st;uiding 16 hand* high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Viotoria, ia 1569._ Got by Panic (imported); his dam Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (iml ported), out of Miss STapier, by Delaprt (uv ported); Miia Napier's dam, Mr*. Bobartg by Wanderer (imported). See Ykiorlcm Stud Book, Vol. 11, p. 47. Panic was in. ported from England to Tasmania, and put to the stud at 3 yrs. old. Ha 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 docile and quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution and legs like iron. Like his sire, that first' class English racehorse Alarm, "he waa never sick, sorry, or lame," and retted from the turr 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 hjrse in Vic. toria, and for geneial 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, in that famous line through Defence, and 1 which comes to him on the sides of both sire and dam. On his fire Panic's side 1 there is, as well as his good Defence blood, that of the game and stout Venison, the powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, most excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. "The ! value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs l not alone as to its being speedy and staying, but ab» to its 'training on,' and being essentially 1 ' running strain ;' for although some others occasionally produce one or two first-clasa animals, few, if any, can compete with Pantaloon as to numliers. 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 tnrf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On the side of the dam of Pbrtobe 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, but also as the maternal ancestresi of England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminsters). The DelapnS blood, is also very good indeed. DelapriS'a 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 ia good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanna, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, 60 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 mare, they consider that quite sufficient. PERTOEE, by So & ~ >2 H 2 '?9 t " Augur," in the Australasian, .June 15th, 1878, says :—" I could fill the Australasian with the doings of " Panic," and bia descendants. As a sire of good, souad, 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 lOat. into eeeoud "'ace in the Melbourne Cup, were performices 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 race at Launceston in February, is a living example. Few horses have gone through such an ordeal as Melbourne, another son at present performing at Qaeeusland. The greatest of all steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Hand, and he is also a son of Panic. Postboy, Postman, Prodigious, and many other good cross country horses, too numerous to mention, are also descendants of the 50a of. Alarm." Terms: L 5 ss, payable ißt ox January, 1879.
