Eminently suited for getting Hunters,. Handsome Weight-carrying Hacks, and; Horses suitable for the Indian Market. PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brows Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, im 1569. Got by Panic (imported) ; his dam, Hester Grazehrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapr6 (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. 21'oberts, by Wanderer (imported). See Victorian Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. Ifl. Panic was imported from England to Tasmania, and put to the sfcud at 3 yrs. old. He was trained and raced at 4, and again put to the stud. When 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. I£e proved himself the best. English 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 and: quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution,, and legs like iron. Like his sire, that firstclass English racehorse Alarm, "he wass never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired froim the turf without a blemish. At the studi, although from being in an out-of-the-way place, he has not been favored by many tirst-class mares, he has got more wimaers out of half-bred ones than any hoßSOria Victoria, and for general purposes Ma stock ia much esteemed.

In the breeding of PERT OBIS there is a :ombination of some excellent strains of )lood, such as the Waxy ( -Whalebone, in ;hat famous line through Defence, and ■vhicli comes to him on the sides of both iire and dam. On his sire Pauic's side ;here is, as well a3 his good Defence blood, ;hat of the game and stout Yenison, the jowerful and speedy Melbourne, and, most jxcellent oi all, that of Pantaloon. " Th« yalna csJ the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not alone is to its being speedy and staying, but also to its ' training on,'and being essentially a ' running strain for although some others sccasionally produce one or two first-class animals, few, if any, cau compete with Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand re- ■ commendation of this strain of blood is, that it mixess successfully with, and improves, all I others." Thus writes Oopperthwaite, and. other good turf authorities agree with him ■. to the same eiFect. On the side of; the dam of Peiitobb there is a lot oil good blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, waa by Jerry, out of the Ardrossaa mora (tlia dam of the 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 DelapnS blood is also very good indeed. Delaprd's dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs, Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pkrtobe, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood ia jgood, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanna, 'by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, so much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer was never known," and if they can trace a pedi- ' gree to a Wanderwr mare, they consider that .quite sufficient, i PERTOBE, by 5? we CD » oP 3 —y p *-3 •c a S.
