PEIITOBE is a beautiful dapplo brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high, : Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in 1860. Got by Panic (imported); his dam, [lester Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by DelaprS (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported). See Victorian Stud Booh, Vol. 11., p. 4?- Pauio 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 purchased at a high price and imported to Victoria, where "he had two more seasons' training and racing. He proved himself the best Knglish 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 legs like iron. Like his sire, that firstclass English racehorse Alarm, "ho was never sick, sorry, or lame," and rotiicd 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 (irst-clas3 mares, he has got more winners out of half-bred ones tli&n any horse in Victoria, 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, ia 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, the powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, most excellent of' all, that of Pantaloon. " Thb value of the Pantaloon,blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not .alono 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 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 Coppertliwaito, and 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 inaro (tho dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated uot- only as a first-clas3 racer, but also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminstera). The Dslapr4 blood is also very good indeed. DelaprtS's dam, Portress, by Defence, wa3 the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pertojje, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanha, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, so much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer' wag never known," and if they can traco a podi. tjree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient.

I "Augur," in the Australasian, Juno 15th IS7S, saj-s ;—" I could fill the Australasian with the doings of " Panic," and his «lca» eendants. As a sire of good, sound, and useful, stock ho has never had; on equal ia, the l Southern hemisphere. His victory in the ; Launceston Champion Kace, and tho style in wJiieh he carried iOst. into looohd place in the Melbourne Clip, were performances of merit; and sufficient' to satisfy tho exacting that he was a racehorse of iio mean order.
