PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing .16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in 1869. Got by Panic (imported);' his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (in/,' ported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapr<S (in, ported); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported). ■ —See Victorian Stud Booh, Vol. 11., Jfl. 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 lie was 6 yrs. old, he was purchased at a high price and imported to where he had two more seasons' 'training and racing. He proved himself the best English • horse ever, trained in Australia, Ho ran remarkably well, and won several races, carrying heavy weights ; he was both speedy and stayiug, of a most docile and quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Like his sire, that firstclass English racehorse Alarm, "fie wjj 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 Victoria., and for general purposes his stock it much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there ia a combination of some excellent strains of blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, in that famous line through Defenfee, and which comes to him on 'the sides' of both : sire and dam. On his sire , Panic's aide ; there is, as well as his good Defence blood, that of the game an<l stout. Venißon, the powerful aud speedy 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, fow, if any, can compete with Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand re!'commendation of this strain of blood is, that it'mixes successfully with, and improves, all others." Thus writes, Coppertliwaite, aud other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On the side of the dam.,of Pertobe there is a lot of good blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandsir'e, Tomboy 1 , ' was by Jerry, out .of the Ardrossan mare (tha dam of the tnare 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 JSfewminsters). The Delapri blood is also very good indeed. •• Delay's dam, Fortress, by Defence, the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam 6f' Pkriobi, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is good, he being by Wanderer, by Golunna, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, so much is the YVanderer blood thought of, that they say "a bad one by Wandererwm never known," aud if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient.
