PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, ta 1569. Got by Panic (imported); his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapr6 (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported). See Victorian Stud Boob, Vol. 11., p. tft. Panic was imported from England to Tasmania, and put to the stud at 3 yrs. old. He was trained and raced at 4, and again put to the Btud. 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 beet 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 firstclass English racehorse Alarm, "he was never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired from 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 mares, he has got more winners out of half-bred ones than any horse in Victoria, and for general purposes his stock ia much esteemed.

In. the breeding of PERTOBE there is a combination of some excellent strains of blood, sueli as the Waxy-Whalebone, in that famous lino through Defence, and which comes to him on the side 3 of both sire and dam. On his sire Panic's side there is, as well as his good Defence blood, that of tlie game and stout Venison, tho powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, moßt excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. The value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not aloue as to its being speedy and staying, but also to its ' training on,' and being essentially t) ' running strain for although some others occasionally produce one or two first-class animals, few, if any, can compete witß Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand re. commendation of this strain of blood is, tha| it mixes successfully with, and improves, wf others." Thus writes Gopperthwaite, aid other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On the side ol the dam of Pkrtobe there is a lot of wood 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 ancestress of England | very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminsters). The Qelapr| blood is also vpry gQod indeed. Ijelapris dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs, Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pektobs, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood u wood, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanns, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, so much is the Wanderer blood thought or, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer w» never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient.
