PERT&BE is a beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in lS(i9. Got by Panic (imported) ; his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (im. ported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapre (im. ported); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer {imported). See Victorian Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. Ift. Panic was im. ported fi"oni England to Tasmania, aud put to the stud at 3 yrs. old. He was trained and raced at 4, and again put to tho stud. YVheu he was 6 yrs. old, he was purchased at a high price and imported to Victoria, where lie had two moro seasons' training and racing. Ho proved himself the best English horse evor trained in Australia. He 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 liis sire, that lirstclass iinglish racehorse Alarm, "he was never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired from the turf without a blemish. At the stud, although fi-oiu being in an out-of-the-way place, he has not been favored by mauy iirst-class mares, he has got more ■winners out of half-bruit ones than any horse ir< Vicv toria, ,*wid for general purposes his stock ia inuu'u esteemed.

In the breeding of PEIITOBG. there is a, combination of some excellent strains of blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, in that famous line through Defence, ami which comes to him on the sides of botli, sire and dam. On his sire Panic's aiile : there is, as weil 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 outi or two lirst-elaas animals, few, if any, can compete with Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand rccoinmendacioH of this strain of blood is, that it mixes successfully with, and improves, all others." Thus writes Oopperthwaite, auil otliiar good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. Oil tho side of tiie dam of Pektobis there is a lot of, good blood coming in through The P\\s mier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of tho Ardrossan marr, (ffclio dam of the mare Beeswing, ceiibrateil not only as a first-class r?,.o<3r, but also as the maternal ancestress o? England's very best family of racehorses at the present Lime, viz., the .Newminstors). The DelaprS blood is also very good indeed. Delapru'u dam, Fortress, by Defence, was tho dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the Firs';. Mrs.. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pjcrtobf; was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood isi good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohamia,, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, Bft much is the Wanderer blood thought of,, that they say " a bad one by Wandero* was, never known," and if they can trace a pedi--uree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient. PEKTOBE, by 9W tdP EI =? P-2 O P y o o<< q o 1.3 \\ B & I ° 1 S> Augur," in the Australasian, June 15th. IS7S, says :—" I could iili the Australasiaa with the doings of "Panic," and his descendants. As a sire of good, sound, and useful stock he has never had an equal id the Southern hemisphere. His victory in the Launceston Champion Race, and the style in whioh he carried lOst. into second place irv 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 haa become a proverb on the Australian Turf, and the ancient Strop who v/ou 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 tho son ol Alarm." Terms : L 5 53, payable Ist of Januarj, 1880.
