PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, iu 1569. Got by Panic (imported) ; his dam Hester Grazobrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Dclapre (im. ported); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts by Wanderer (imported) Sec Victorian Stud Book, Vol. 11. , p. 47. Panic was im. ported from England to Tasmania, and put to the stud at 3 yrs. old. Ho was trained and raced at 4, and again put to the stud. When ho was 6 yrs. old, ho was purchased at a high price and imported to Victoria where be had two more seasons' training and racing. He proved himself the best K-nglish horse, ever trained in Australia, He ran remarkably well, and won several races, carrying heavy weights ; ho was both speedy and staying, of a most docile aud quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Like his sire, that lirstclass 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 niaav first-class mares, he has got more winnets out of half-bred ones than any horse iu Victoria, and for general purposes his stwjfe is much esteemed. Iu the breeding of PERTOBE there ia a combination of some excellent strains ot blood, such as the "Waxy-Whalebone, in that famous line through Defence, and which comes to him on tho 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. " The; value of tho Pantaloon blood is undeniable, j having furnished so many proofs, not alone as to its being speedy and staying, but also to its 'training ou,' aud being essentially a ' running strain ;' for although some others occasionally produce one or two lirst-clas" animals, few, if any, can compete wiU Pantaloon as to numbers. A very- grand recommendation of this strain of blood is, that it mixes successfully with, aud improves, *fl others." Tims writes Copperthwsite, a other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On the side of: the dam of Pisktobis thero is a. lot of ' good blood coming in thr.ougb. The Premier, whose graudsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of tho Ard'rossan mare (the dam of tho 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 Newminsters). The blood is also very good indeed. Delapru's danij Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of tho Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs., Roberts, tho great grand-dam of I'KirroiiK,. was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blouil is good, be being by Waudorer, by Column by Mercury, by Eclipse. Iu Tasmania, so much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say "a bad one by Wanderer wk never known," and if they can trace a pedigrce to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient. PERTOBE, by 51 s.s-3 S;S j? o £ o - at ra "Augur," in the Australasian, JuruTStfi 1878, says : _" I could till the Australasian with the doings of "Panic," and his descendants. As a sire of good, soand, and useful stock he has never had an equal \ a the Southern hemisphere. His victory in the Launeeston Champion Race, and the style in which he carried lOst. into second place in the Melbourne Cup, were perioralances of merit, aud sufficient to satisfy the most exacting that he was a racehorse of n*,, mean order. The soundness of his stock has become a proverb on the Australian Turf, and the ancient Strop who won a race atLauneeston 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 liana,, and he is also a son of Panic. Postboy,. Postman, Prodigious, and many other good j cross country horses, too numerous to mention, are also descendants of the sun 0I Alarm." Terms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of ISSO.
