PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brows Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Viotoria, in 1569. Got by Panic (imported); his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delaprd (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs.: Robert*, by Wanderer (imported). See Victorian Stud Baok, Vol. 11., p. Jft. Panic was imported from England to Tasmania, anct pat to the stud at 3 yrs. old. He was trained and raced at 4, and again put to the •tad. When he was 6 yrs. old, he was purchased at a high price and imported to Viotoria, where he had two more seasons' training and racing. He proved himself the best 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* olasß English racehorse Alarm, "ha wa» 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 (jlace, 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 purposoß his stock is much esteemed.

In the breeding of PERTOBE there u 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. " Tho value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniablo, having furnished so many proofs, not alons as to its being speedy and staying, but also to its 'training on,'and being essentially ft ' running strain ;' for although Borne others occasionally produce one or two first-claM animals, few, if any, can compete, wtt Pantaloon as to numbers. _ A very grand recommendation of this strain of blood is, that it mixes successfully with, and improves, &I) others." Thus writes Copperthwajte, and other good turf authorities agree with, him to the same effect. On the si4a of the dam of Pertobe there is a lot of; good blood coming in through Tjje Prxi» mier, whoso grandsire, Tomboy, ifW by Jerry, out of tho Ardrossan mare (thq dam of tho mare Beeswing, celebra.U/1 uot only as a first-class racer, bnj| also as the maternal anoestress of England's, very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminsters). The Delaprf 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-dam of Pkrtobb, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood, ia good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanna, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, so. much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer was, never known," and if they can trace a pedi-i gree to a Wanderer mare, they consider tntf quite sufficient.
