PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown, Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in 1569. Got by Panic (imported); his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (im. ported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapr<s (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. lloberts,, by Wanderer (imported). —to Victorian Stud Booh, Vol. 11., p. 47. Panic was im. ported from England to Tasmania, and put to the stud at 3 yrs. old. He was trained aid raced at 4, and again put to the stud. Wheu he was 6 yrs. old, he was purchased at a high price'and imported to Victoria, .vhere he had two more seasons' training and racing. He proved himself the best Bnglish horse ever trained in Australia, H.e 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 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 iirst-class mares, he has got more winners out of half-bred ones than any horse in Vic 1 toria, and for general purposes his stock u much esteemed. I

In the breeding of PERTOBE there is « combination jof some excellent strains of blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, in chat famous line through Defence, and which comes to him on the sides of both sire and dam. On his sire Panic's aids 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 undoniable, having furnished so many proofs, nob alonjl as to its being speedy and staying, but also to its 'training on,' and being essentially i ' running strain ;' for although some othen occasionally jiroduce one or two lirst-cta 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 Copperthwaitc, and other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On the side t,' the dam of Pertobe there is a lot c( good blood coming iu through The Pre-, mier, whose graudsire, Tomboy, was 1} •Jerry, out of the Ardrossan maro ({l» dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrate) uot only as a first-class racer, tat also as the maternal ancestress of England! very best family of racehorses at the present time, via., the Newminsters). The Delapii Jilood is also very good indeed. Uciaurel dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the darooi the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mit Roberts, the great grand-clam of Pertojj was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's bloodi good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohaiun by Mercury, by Eclipse. Iu Tasmania, t much is the Wanderer blood thought ot that they say " a bad one by Waudcrerw never known," and if they can traco apw ijree to a Wanderer mare, they consider thi quite sufficient.
