PERTOBE i 3 a beautiful dapple brosj Stallion, standing 16 hands high, . Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Viotoria, ■1869. Got by Panic (imported); his 4am Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (im, ported), out of Miss Napier, by Dehpn! (i m , ported); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberti by Wanderer (imported). See Victoria Stud Boole, Vol. 11., p. 47. Panic was im. ported from England to Tasmania, and pit 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 Victorii 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 at! quiet temper, with a wonderfiil constitution, and legs like iron; ■ Like his sire, that fb|. class English racehorse. Alarm, "he was neyer sick, sorry, or lame," and'retired from the turf without a blemish. At the stud, although from being in an out-of-the-wsj-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 purposles his stock ii much esteemed.

In the breeding of PERTOBE thero is combination of some excellent strains ( blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, i that famous line through Defence, in vhicli comes to him on the sides of bot: sire and dam. On his sire Panic's eiJt there is, as well as his good Defenco blood, that of the game and stout Venison, tit powerful and speedy Melbourne, acd, mci excellent'of all, that of Pantaloon, '"b ■alr.a of the Pantaloon blood is tindcuiaL' having furnished so many proofs, not ai as to its being speedy and staying, but a to its ' training on,'and being essentialljl ' running strain for although some otia occasionally produce one or two first-da animals, few, if any, can competo c! Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand & commendation of this strain of blood is, till it mixes successfully with, and improves, i 3 others." Thus writes Coppertliwaite, ill other good turf authorities agree with b to the same effect. On 'the side li the dam of Pertobe there is a lot s good blood coming in through The mier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was!; Jerry, out of the : Ardrossan mare (lit dam of the mare Beeswing, celebnii not only as a first-class racer, 1:1 also as the maternal ancestress of Eugbtii very best family of racehorses at tho presst time, viz., the Newminatera). The DelaprS blood is also very good indeed. Delaprii dam. Fortress, by, Defence, was the i the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Roberts', the great grand-dam of Pei was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's bl good, lie being by Wanderer, by Goh by Mercury, by Kclipse. In Tasmania much is the Wanderer blood thought that they say " a bad one by Wanderer never known," and if they can trace aj™ gree to a Wanderer mare, they consider U quite sufficient.
