PERTOJBE is a beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in ISG9. Got by Panic (imported); hiß dam, Hester : Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delaprd (imported) j Miss Napier's, dam, ; JVlra. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported). —-'.See' Victoriam Stud Booh, Vol. 11., p. j/}. Panic was imported from England to Tasmania, and put, to the stud at 3 yrs._ old. He was trainedl and raced at 4, and again put to the studWhen he was 6 yrs. old, ho was purchased! at a high price and imported to where he had two . more seasons' training aiid racing. He proved hiinsolf the best English horse ever trained in Australia, He ran.remarkably well, and won several races, carrying heavy weights'; hiß wis 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. , t At the stud, although from' hein'g in" an "6iit-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 Vio-. toria, and for general purposes his stock i&» muoh esteemed. Ih the breeding of PERTOBE there 5 iS a, combination of some excellent strains of blood, such as the' Waxy-Whale bone, in, that famous line through Defencey andt which comes to him on the sides of botht sire and dam. ,0n hi 3 sire Panic's ~sidet 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. " Thei value of the Pantaloon blood is having furnished so many proofs, not alona as to its being speedy and staying, b»t, also to its ' training on,' and being essentially a ' running strain for although soiao others occasionally produce one cir two first-class animals, few, 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 Copperthwaite, and. 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 grandsire, Tomboy, was b\jJerry, out of the Avdrossan mare (the dam of the mare Beeswing, celebratedi not only as a first-class racer, but. also as the vo&temal ancestress of Eagland'si very best family of racehorses at the present; time, viz., the New minsters). The Delapr& blood is also very good indeed. Delapr6'ai dam, Fortress, by Defence,..was the dam off the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. MrsRoberts, the great grand-dam of Phrtobe,, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood isi good, 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 pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider' thai quite sufficient.

As a sire of good, sotind, and useful, stock he has-neyer had an equal p the Southern hemisphere. His victory in the Lauhoeston Champion and the style in which he carried lOat. into second place in, the Melbourne Cup, were perform- ! ances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy the most exacting that ho was a. racehorse of no mean order. The soundness of Jiiastock hM become a proverb, on the Australian Turf, •and the ancdent Strop who, won a race at Launceston in February, is a living example Few'horses have gone through such an ordeal as Melbourne,; another son at present per* forming at Queensland. The greatest of all steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone. Hand,, and he is also a son of Panic. Postboyv.
