Horses suitable for the Indian Market. PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in 1569. Got by Panic (imported); his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (Hpported), out of Miss Napier, by Delaprg (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported).—See Victoria» Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. 47. 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 ho was 6 yrs. old, he was purchased 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 and quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, and logs 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. 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 is muoh 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 sides of hath sire and dam. On his sire Panic's side tliero 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. " Tha value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not alona 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 withPantaloon as to numbers. A very grand recommendation 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 Perto.be there is a lot ol 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, viz., the Newminsters). The Delaprd blood is also very good indeed. Delaprd's dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs, Roberts, the great grand-dam of PKRIWiE, was by Wanderer, and blood ig, good, he being by Wanderer, hy by Mercury, by Eclipse. Jn, Tasmania, sci much is the Wanderej blood thought of,, that they say " a bad, one by Wanderer was never known," ancli 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 equal in) the Southern hemisphere. His victory it} the Launceston Champion Race, and tp? style in which he carried lOst. into aeppnq! place in the Melbourne Cup, were perform* ances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy thfl most exacting that he was a racehorse of BQ mean order. The soundness of his stook i)M become a proverb on the Australian Turf, and the ancient Strop who won a raoe at Launceston in February, is a living example, Few horses have gone through such an ordeal as Melbourne, another son at present performing 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« tion, are also descendants of the son of Alarm." Terms: L 5 53, payable Ist of January, 18S0.
