PERTOBE is , a beautiful dapple browa Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, la 1569. Got by Panic (imported); his dam, Hester Grazobrook, by The Premier (im» ported); out of Miss Napier, by Delapr6 (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported). Victorian Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. 47. Panio waa imported from England to Tasmania, and pat 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 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 dbcile and quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Like his sire, that firstclass English raoehorse 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 Viotoria, and for general purposes his stook 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 sides of both sire and dam. On his Bire Panio's side there is, as well a3 his good Defenoe blood, that of the game and stout Venison, the powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, most excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. " The 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 on,' and being essentially a ' running strainfor 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 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 Pektobe there is a lot of good blood coming in through The Premier, whose grahdsire, 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 preqgat time, viz., the JNewminsters). The QslaprQ blood is also very good indeed.. Relspr6'a dam, Fortress, by Defence, the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrlmg the First. • Mrs,' Roberts, the great gyaud-dam of Pertobej, was by Wanderer, and! Wanderer's blood y good, he being by Wanderer, by by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, 80 nrnch 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, sounds' and useful stock he has never, had an equaj in the | Southern: hemisphere. His victory in the | Launceston Champion Race, and the style in which he carried lOst. into Beoond place in the Melbourne Cup, were performances 6f merit, and sufficient to satisfy the most exacting that he was a racehorse of no mean order. The soundness of Mb Btook hM become a proverb on the Australian Turf, aud) 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 performing at Queensland. The greatest of all steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone and he is also a son of Panio. 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 ss, payable Ist of January, 1880.
