PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by 11. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, i n 1569. Got by Panic (imported); his d'am Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (iml ported), out of Miss Napier, by Delaprg (im! ported); Misa Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts by Wanderer (imported). See Victorian■. Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. Ifi. 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. Whou he was 6 yrs. old, he was purchased at a high price and imported to Victoria where he had two more seasons' training and racing. Be proved himself the best English horse ever trained in Australia, He ran remarkably well, and won several races, carrying heavy weights ; he was both speedy and staying, of a most docilo 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 iirst-clas3 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 tho breeding of PEIITOBE thero ia a combination or some excellent strains of blood, suck as tho Waxy-Whalebone, in that faui&as line through Defence, and which comes to him on tho sides of both siro and dam. On his sire Panic's bulcthere is, as well as his good Defence blood, that of the game and stout Venison, thepowerful and speedy Melbourne, and, most, excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. " Thw value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniabla:, 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 o,v two- iirsVclass animals, few, if any, can compete with Pautaloon as to numbora. A very grand recommendation of this strain of blood is, that it mixes successfully with, and improves, all others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, and other gooci: turf authorities agree with him to tho same effect. On the side of the dam of Pertobe there is a lot of good blood coming in tlirough Tho Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrassan mare (the dam of the mare Bass-tying, celebrated not only as a first-class racer, but also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at tho present time, viij., the Newminsters). The Delapri > blood is also very good indeed, DelayriS's • dam, Fortress, by Defence, was tho 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 Tasmauia, bo much is the Wanderer blood thought of,, that they say "a bad one by Wanderer waa never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wasidorer mare, they consider that quite sufScient.

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 P.aee, and the style in which he carried lttet. into second place in the Melbourne Cup, were perfonaances of merit, and, sufficient to satisfy tha 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 per', forming at Queensland. The greatest of all steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lono 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." Terms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of January*. 1880.
