PER.TOBE is a beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by 11. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in 1569. Got by Panic (imported) ; his dam,. Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapre (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported). See Victoriani Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. 4?- Panic was imported from England to Tasmania, and put to the stud at 3 yrs. old. Ho was trained and raced afc 4, and again put to the stud. When ho was 6 yrs. old, he was purchased at a high price and imported to Victoria, where he had two more seasons' training and racing. Ho proved himself the bestEnglish 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 audi 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 tho stud, although from being in. an out-of-the-way place, he has not been favored by many iirst-elass marcs, he has got more winners out of half-bred ones than any horse in Victoria, and for general purposes hia stock is much esteemed.

In the breeding of PERTOBE there is a combination of some excellent strains of blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, in that famous line through Defence, and which comos to him on the 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 the Pantaloon blood is undeuiable, 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 or two first-class animals, few, if any, can compete with Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand recommendation of this strain of blood is, that it mixes successfully with, and improves, all. others." Thus writes Oopperthwaite, anil other good turf authorities agree with himto the same effect. On the side of the dam of Pjsutobe there is a lot of good blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was byJerry, out of the Ardrossau mare (the dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class racer, but, '/ also as the maternal ancestress of England a very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminstcrs). The Dolaprd blood is also very good indeed. Delapre's. darn, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pektobe, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohauna, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, so much is the Winnle-vcr blood thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer w;i3 never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient.

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 Ilace, and the style lu which he carried lOst. into second place in 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 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 sou at present forming at Queensland. The greatest of all steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Haud> and he is also a son of Panic. Postboy, Postman, Prodigious, and many other goo cross country horses, too numerous to men» tion, are also descendants of the son o Alarm. . _ __ Terms: L 5 os, payable Ist of J^ ISSO.
