PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, In 1569. Got by Panic (imported) ; his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (im. ported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapr<s (im. ported); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts by Wanderer (imported).—See Victorian Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. 47. Panic was im. ported from England to Tasmania, and put to the stud 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. He 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 docile 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 first-class mares, he has got more winners out of half-bred ones than any horse in Vic. toria, and for general purposes his stock is much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE thero is a combination of some excellent strains of blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, in that famous line through Defence, and which comes 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 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 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 Copperthwaito, and other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On the side ol the dam of Peutobe there is ■ a lot ol good blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan maro (the 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 IJelaprS blood is also very good indeed. Delaprc's dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs, Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pkhtoiib, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanna, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, sp much is the Wanderer blood thought 01, that they say "a bad one by Waiylererva never known," and if they can trace a pedh gree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient.
