The fashionably - bred and rery superior Thorough-bred Horse PE R T OB E, Eminently suited for getting Hnnten, Handsome Weight-carrying Hacks, and Horses suitable for the Indian Market. PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brows Stallion, standing 16 hands high. Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, c 1869. Got by Panic (imported); his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (ka. ported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapr6 (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported). See Victorian Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. 4?- Panic was hn. ported from England to Tasmania, and pat to the stud at 3 yrs. old. He was trained and raced at 4, and again put to the stnd. When he was 6 yrs. old, he was purchased at a high price and imported to Victoria, where he had two more seasons' trainisg and racing. He proved himself the best English horse ever trained in Australia, He ran remarkably well, and won seren] races, carrying heavy weights ; he was hoik speedy and staying, of a most docile aaj quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Like his sire, that irst. class English racehorse Alarm, "ha waj never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired frea 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 has got more winuen out of half-brect.o'nes than any horse in Vis. toria, and for general purposes his stock ii much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBH thsrs ■ i combination of some excellent straiaa tf blood, such as the Waxy-Whatebons, is that famous line through Defends, act which comes to him on the aides of Wis sire and dam. On his aire Panic's mit there is, as well as his good Qefencs Wsod, that of the game and stont Vesiaos, til powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, Boat excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. "Tiis value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, nst aiaat as to its being speedy and staying, but alai to its 'training on,' and being essentially i ' running strain ;' for although some othen occasionally produce one or two first-alasj animals, few, if any, can compete witfc Pantaloon as to numbers. A very gra*<l~»«> commendation of this strain of blood isyWi it mixes successfully with, and improre«, al others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, ai other good turf authorities agree with sis to the same effect. On the side K the dafft of Pertobe there is a lot k good blood coming in through The •>< mier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, TVifc, ( Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (till dam of the mare Beeswing, celebr&tai not only as a first-class racer, k» also as the maternal ancestress of England', very best family of racehorses at the preaes time, viz., the Newminsters). The Delapr blood is also very good indeed. Delaprd' dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dars i the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mn Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pkrtom was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood i good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanw by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, « much is the Wanderer blood thougkt « that they say " a bad one by Wanderer m never known," and if they can trace a pei gree to a Wanderer mare, they consider tiu quite sufficient. PERTOBE, by Jap ■ B- ' !5 P g O T-J" ? £3 "Augur," in the Australasian, Jans 154 IS7B, says :—" I could, fill the Australasia with the doings of.' "T'anic," and his d» cendants. As a sire of good, sound, asi useful stock ho has never had an eqaal 1* the Southern hemisphere. His victory M the Launceston. Champion Race, and A* style in which he carried lOst. into secoad place in the Melbourne Cup, were perforS' ances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy ti» most exacting that he was a racehorse o£ ** mean order. The soundness of his stock bm become a proverb on the Australian Ta«4 and the ancient Strop who won a race •• Launceston in February, is a living exampl*| Few horses have gone through such an oraes as Melbourne, another Bon at present p* forming at Queensland. The greatest of aU steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Hani and he is also a son of Panic. Postboy Postman, Prodigious, and many other gooi cross country horses, too numerous to men tion, are also descendants of the son « Alarm." Terms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of January 1879.
