PERTOIiE is a beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Viotoria, In 1860. Got by Panic (imported); his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapr6 (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported). See Victorian Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. Jfl. Panic was im. ported from England to Tasmania, and put to the stud at 3 yrs. old. Ho was trained and raced at 4, and again put to the stud. When ho was 6 yrs. old, ho was purchased at a high price and imported to Victoria, where ho 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 bothi 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 wagi never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired fromi 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 winner® out of half-bred ones than any horse in Viotoria, and for general purposes his stock ia much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there is a combination of some exdellent 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 siro Panic'a : Bide 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 ail, that of Pantaloon. " Tha 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 ou,' 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", itj mixes successfully with, and improves, alii others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, #p<L f other good turf authorities agree with btf&.i to the same effect. On the side of the dam of Pektobe there is a lot of good blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (the dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated uot 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 Dalaprd blood is also very good indeed. Delapr6's dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam o£ the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs.. Roberts, the greatgrand-dam of Pbrtobe, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanna, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, bo 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 that quite sufficient.

As a sire of good, sound, and useful stock he has never had an equal iu the Southern hemisphere. ' His victory in the Launceston Champion Race, and tho style in which he carried 10st. into second place in the Melbourne Cup, were performances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy the l most exacting that he was a racehorse of no mean order. The soundness of his stock ha* 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 son at present per* forming at Queensland. The greatest of all steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Hand, and he is also a son of Panic. Postboy, Postman, Prodigious, and many other good cross country horses, too numerous to men* tiun, are also descendants of the son ot Alarm." Terms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of January, 18S0.
