PERTOBE is a beautiful dapplo bro-wn Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by 11. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in Got by Panic (imported) ; his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (ire. ported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapre (imsorted); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported).—Sm Victorian Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. Jfl. Panic was imported from England to Tasmania, and put So the stud at 3 yrs. old. He was trained and raced at 4, and again put to the stud, When he was 6' yrs. old, 110 was purchased at a high price and imported to Victoria, where he had two more seasons' training and racing. Ho proved himself the best F.uglish horse ever trained in Australia, lie ran remarkably well, and won several races, carrying heavy weights ; ho 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 tirst-elass mares, he has got more winners out of half-bred ones than any horse in Victoria, and for general purposes his stock is, much esteemed. In the breeding of I'EUTOBE there is a combination of smuc excel lent strains of blood, such :ix the Waxy-Whalebone, in that famous Jiiw through Defence, and which comes to him 011 the sides of both sire and dam. fin bin .-ire Panic's sido there is, as well as his good Defence blood, that of the tramo and stout Venison, the powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, most excellent of ;dl, that of Pantaloon. " The value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not alono as to its being speedy ami staying, but also to its ' training on,' and being essentially a ' running strain for although some others occasionally produce one or two lirst-elass animals, low, 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." 'i'lius writes Copperthwaite, ami other good turf authorities agree with him to the same eU'ect. On the side ol the dam of Pektobe there is a lot of good blood coming in through The Premier, whoso granilsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (the; dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a lirst-elass racer, hut. aiso as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the present, time, viz., the Newminsters). The Dolapr6 blood is also very good indeed. Delapre's daw, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrlms the First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pertobk, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanna, by Mercury, by Kclipso. In Tasmauia, so much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say a bail oue by Wanderer was never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer marc, they consider that quite sufficient. PERTOBE, by

tr-Oc c. "Augur," in the Australasian, June 15th IS7S, says :—" I could fill the Australasian with the doings of "Panic," and his descendants. As a sire o£ 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 lie carried lOat. into second piace 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 his stock has become a proverb on the Australian Turf, and the ancient Strop who won a race at Launceston in February, is a living example. Few horses have gone through such an ordeal as Melbourne, another son at present performing at Queensland. The greatest of all steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Hand, and he is also a son of Panic. Postboy, Postman, Prodigious, and many other good cross country horses, too numerous to men* tion, are also descendants of the son of Alarm." Term 3 : L 5 53, payable Ist of January, 18S0.
