See Victorian, Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. 47- Pauib 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 and imported. to . Victoria, where he had two more seasons' training and racing. He proved himself tho best English horse ever trained in Australia. He ran remarkably well, and won sevoral 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 .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 winnerß out of ; half-bred ones than any horse in Victoria, and for s general' purposes 'hih v st|jei; is much esteemed. 1 In the breeding of PERTOBE there is ft combination of some'..excellent strains of blood, such as the Waxy- Whale bono, ia that famoust -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 Dcfencd 'blood, that of tho game, and Btout Venison, the powerful and speedy' Melbourne, and, most excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. '' The value of the Pantaloon blood iB (.'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'strain-s''. for although! pothers occasionally produce one or two first-olasa animals,, fqw, ; .If any, can ,opmp£te . with Pan£alooh a,3 to numbers.'" AVery grind recommendation of this strain of blood is, that it mixes successfully withj and improves, all others." Thus writes Copperthwaito, and other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On the side of the dam of Pertobe there is: a let 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 a3 a first-class racer, bub also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminsters). Tho Delapr4 blood is also very good indeed. Delapr4'a dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pkrtobjb, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood ia good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanna, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, bq much is the Wanderer blood thought of 4 that they say " a: bad one ..by Wanderer wad never known," and if they can trace a pedU gree,to a .Wanderer mare, they consider that quite" sufficient." .
