PEIITOBE is a beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in 1869. Got by Panic (imported); his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delaprd (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer , (imported). See Victorian Stud Boole, Vol. 11., p. 47' Panio was imported from England to Tasmania, and' put to thestiid 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 aud imported to Victoria, whero 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 ; ho was 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 waa 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 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 sides of both sire and dam. On his sire Panic's side there is, as well as his good Defence blood, that of the game and stout Venison, tha powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, mostt excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. "Tho 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, 1 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 it mixes successfully with, and improves, all others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, and other good turf authorities agree witli hin\ to the same effect. On the side of the dam of Pertobb there is a lot o$ good blood coming in through The Pre* mier, whose grandsire, Tombay, was bjy Jerry, out'of the mwe (tho 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, via., the Newminsters). The Dalapr4 blood is also very good indeed. Delapr6'fc dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs, Roberts, the great grand-,dam of Pertobb, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood ig 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 that quite sufficient.

As a siro of good, sound, and useful stook he has never had an equal in the Soutliern hemisphere. His viotory in the Launcoston Champion Race, and the stylo in which he carried lOst. into aeoond place in the Melbourne Cup, wero performances of merit, aud sufficient to satisfy the most exacting that he was a racehorso of no mean order. The soundness of his stook has beoome a proverb on the Australian Turf, aud the ancient Strop who won a race at Launcoston in February, is a living example. Few horses have gone through suoh an ordeal as Melbourne, another son at prosent per* forming at Queensland. Tho greatest of al] steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Hand, aud ho is also a son ol Panio.
