PERTOBE is a beautiful ilapplo brown Stallion, standing l(j hands high, Bred by 11. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in ISO!), Got by Panic (imported) ; his dam, Hester Grazcbrook, by The Premier (imported), out of "Miss Napier, by Delapri3 (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported). See Victorian Stud Bock, Vol. 11., p. If™. Panic was imported from England to Tasmania, and put to the stud at I) yrs. old. He was trained and raced at 4, and. again put to the stud. When he W5 3 (>' yrs. old, he was purchased at. a iiigh price and imported to Victoria, wl'.ero ho had two more seasons' training and racing. He proved himself the best English horse ever trained in Australia. 11 e ran remarkably ■'.veil, and won several races, carrying heavy weights ; ho was both speedy and staying, oc a most doeile 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 lirst-elass 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, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, in that famous line through Defenee, and which comes to him on the sides of both sire and dam. On bis 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 alone as to its being speedy and staying, but also to its 'training on,'and being essentially a ' running strain for although some others occasionally produce one or two first-class animals, few, ii any, can compete with Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand recommendation of this strain of blood is, that it mixes suece.-sluhy with, and improves, all others." Tims writes Copperthwaitc, and other good turf" authorities agree with him to the same eil'eut. On the side of i.hc dam of Pertobe there is a lot of good 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's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminstcrs). The Delapr6 blood is also very good indeed. DelaprfS's dam, Fortress, by 1 (efence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pertobe, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is* good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanna* by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, sex. much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say " a bad oue by Wanderer waa never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite suliieient. PERTOBE, by CO 2 a" ° - P rr* ps: 8# B' crK o L f M "Augur," in the Australasian, June 15th, 1573, 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 Race, and the style m which he carried lOst. 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 bis stock hag become a proverb on the Australian Turf, and the ancient Strop who won a race at Lar.nceston in February, ia a living example. Few horses have gone through such an ordeal as .Melbourne, another son at present perI'.iviing at Queensland. The greatest of all at!.- liecliasers is undoubtedly Lone Hand, and he is also a son of Panic. Postboy, L'or.trnan, Prodigious, and many other good cro:- j country horses, too numerous to mention, are also descendants of the son of Alarm." Terms : L 5 ss. payable Ist of January, ISSO.
