PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brum Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in 1569. Got by Panic (imported); hj s Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (j m | ported), out of Miss Napier, by Delaprd (im! ported); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Robortj' by Wanderer (imported). See Victorian Stiul Book, Vol. 11., p. Jf7. Panic was im. ported from England to Tasmania, ami p tl j to the stud at 3 yrs. old. He was trained and raced at 4, and again put to tho stud. When he was 6 yrs. old, he was purchased at a high price and imported to Victoria where he had two more seasons' train®, and racing. He proved himself the beat English horse over trained in Australia, He ran remarkably well, and wou several races, carrying heavy weights ; he was both speedy and staving, of a most docile ani quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Like his sire, that fust, class English racehorse Alarm, "he wu never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired fri the turf without a blemish. At tho sti although from being in an out-of-the-si; place, he has not been favored by many first-class mares, he has got more winners out of half-bred ones than any horse in Vic. toria, and for general purposes his at much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there ij | combination of some excellent strains oj blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, ia that famous line through Defence, which comes to him on the sides of 1 sire and dam. On his -sire Panic's 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 stayiug, but i to its ' training on,' and being essential! ' running strain for although some others occasionally produce one or two first-da animals, few, if any, can compete with Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand recommendation of this strain of blood is, thit it mixes successfully with, and improves, ij others." Thus writes Copperthwaitc, al other good turf authorities agree with bin to the same effect. On the side -j the dam of Pektore there is a lot: gcod blood coming in through Tho fn whose graudsire, Tomboy, was t; Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (the dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class racer, tat also as the maternal ancestress of Englini's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminsters). The Uelapti blood is also very good indeed. Delaprii dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam ol the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mr. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pehtoeh was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood ii good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanai, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, » much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say "a bad one by Wanderer never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider tint quite sufficient. PERTOBE, by W li R 3 S-T •HO - pyt y c MOJ . t'H 2- p si t a 3 5: P-3 o Augur," in the Australasian, June laf' 1878, says : —" I could fill the Auatrala^ 1 with the doings of "Panic," and his r"' cendants. As a sire of good, sound, . useful stock he has never had an equal j the Southern hemisphere. His victory i the Launceston Champion Race, and style in which he carried lOst. into sccof place in the Melbourne Cup, were l| ances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy l most exacting that he was a racehorse of • mean order. The soundness of his stock" become a proverb on the Australian " and the ancient Strop who won a race Launceston in February, is a living exaror i/ew horses have gone through such au or as Melbourne, another son at present p, forming at Queensland. The greatest o steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lono HW' and he is also a sou of Panic. I'ostman, Prodigious, and many other cross country horses, too numerous to i tion, are also descendants of the sfl> Alarm." T „ rt Terms: L 5 ss, payable Ist o< JfS 18S0.
