L PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in LS69. Got by Panic (imported); his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapr<s (imported); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported).—See Victorian Stud Book, Vol. 11, p. Iff. Panic was imported 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 purchase, 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 andl quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution* and legs like iron. Like his sire, that firstclass English racehorse Alarm, "he wasT 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 ha 3 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 is much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there 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 aides of both aire 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 aud speedy Melbourne, and, most excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. "The value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not alon& 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 withi l'antaloon as to numbers. A very grand recommendation of this strain of blood is, that it mixes successfully with, and improves, aIK others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, ancl 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 by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (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, 1 viz., the Newminsters). The DelaprA blood is also very good indeed. Delaprd'a dam, .Fortross, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. MrsRoberts, the great grand-dam of Pertobk, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood ia good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanna, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, so much is the Wanderer blood thought of, chat they say " a bad one by Wanderer waa never known," and if they can trace a pedito a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient.

"Augur," in bhe Australasian, June 15th 1878, says :—" I could fill the Australasian with the doings of " Panic," and his descendants. As a sire of good, sound, and useful stock he has never had an equal in the Southern hemisphere. His victory ,in the Launco3ton Champion Race, and the style in which he carried lOst. into second place in the Melbourne Cup, were performances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy the most exacting that he waa a racehorse of no mean order. The soundness of his stock ha»7 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 Buch an ordeal as Melbourne, another son at jjresent performing at Queensland. The greatest of all steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Hand, and he is al3o a son of Panic. Postboy, Postman, Prodigious, and many other good cross country horses, too numerous to men* tion, are also descendants of the son of Alarm." Terms: L 5 53, payable Ist of January# ISSO.
