PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown stallion, standing 16 hands high, Ered "by H. Phillips, Esq., Yictoria, in 1569. Got by Panic (imported) hiß dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier , (imported), out of Miss Napier, by.DelapfS (imported) ; Misß Napiei;dam, Mra... Egberts, l>y Wanderer (imported).—See Victorian Stv.d Book, Vol. 11., p. 47. Panic vras imported from England to Tasmania, and put to the stud at 3 yra. old. He was trained and raced at 4,.andragain put to the stad. When he -was 6 yra. old, he was purchased at a high price and imported to Victoria, where he had two more seasons 5 training and racing. Ho provod himself the beat Knglish horse ever trained in Australia, He ran remarkably well, and won several races, carrying heavy weights ; he was both speedy and staying, of a moßt docile and quiet "temper, with a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Like his sire, that firstclass English racehorse Alarm, "he was never sick, sorry, or lame," and reti ed 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 • >ut of half-bred ones than any horse in Victoria, and for general 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 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, 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, not alons as to its being speedy and staying, but also to its ' training on,' and being essentially a ' running strain for although some othera 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 the side of the dam of Pertobe there is a lot o£' good blood coming iu 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 rJan as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of r&oeh »'3esat the present time, viz., the Newminsters). The Delapr6 blood is also very good indeed Delapr6's dam, Fortress, by I defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs, 1-toberts, the great grand-dam of Pertobe, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is good, he being by W T auderer, by Gohanna, by Mercury, by liclipse. Iu Tasmania, sc. much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say "a bad one by Wanderer was never known," and if they fan trace a pedigree to a "Wanderer mare, they consider that, quite sufficient.

B "Augur," in the Australasian, June 15th, IS7B, says :—" I could fill the Australasian with the doings of " Panic," and his descendants. As a sire of good, sound, and useful stock he has never had an equal in the Southern hemisphere. His victory in the Launceston Champion Bace, and the style in which he carried I Ost. into second place in the Melbourne 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 race at Launceston in February, is a living example. Few horses have tjone through such 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. Postboy;,. Postman, Prodigious, and many other got ßt cross country horses, too numerous to mention, are also descendants- of the son of Alarm." Terms : L 5 53, payable Ist of January, 1879.
