See Victoriam Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. 47. Pahio was imported from England to Tasmania, and put to the stud at 3 yrs. old. He was trainod. 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 Viotoria, where no had two more seasons' training; and racing. He proved' himself the \best. English- horse: ever trained in Australia. He ran remarkably, wellj and' won several! races, carrying heavy weights ; lie was bothi speedy and staying, of a most dpoile,, 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 lamej" and retired fronu the turf without a blemish. At the stud,, although from being in an outrof-tho-wayV place, ,he has not been favorecL by many first-class mares, he has' got more winnfjm out of half-bred ones than, any horse in Victoria, and for general purposes hia,Btoot is much.esteemed. .., , In the breeding of PERTOBE there is a, combination of some excellent strains of; blood;; suoh as the Waxy-Whalebone, vox that famous line through Defence, and. which comes to him on the sides of- bothi sire and dam. On his sire Panic's Bide 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. " The value of the Pantaloon'blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, jnbt alone as to its being speedy andstaying, 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 J . others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, and.. other good turf authorities agree with him,', to the same effect. On the side of! the dam of Pertobb there is a lot of: good blood coming. in, through The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by/ Jerry, out of the Ardroßsaa* mare . (thoi dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated! hot only as i a .first-class racer, butalso as the maternal ancestress of England's' very best family of racehorses at tho present; tithe, viz., the Newminsters). The Delapr& blood is also very good indeed. Delapre'»< dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam off the Derby winner,' Pyrrhus th» First. Mrs* the great grand-dam of Pjshtojbbj, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood io 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. .-•'.'■> -..k, 1 ' PERTOBE, by.
