PERTOBE 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 Grazabrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delaprd (imported); Miss Napier's dam, . Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported). See, Victorian Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. Iff, Panio 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 ho was 6 yrs. old, he was purcliiised at a high price and importod to Viotoria, where 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 1 races, carrying heavy weights; he was bothi speedy and staying,, of a most docile andl quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution,, and legs like iron. 'Like his sire, that firstsclass English racehorse Alarm, "he wwi never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired from the turf without a blemish. At the Btatd, although from being in an out-of-tha-way place, he has not been favored by many first-class mares, he has got more -winners out of half-bred ones than any horae in Viotoria, and for general purposes his stock ia 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 Panio's eid«. there is, as well as his good Defenco blood,, that of tha game and stent Venison, thst powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, most; excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. " Thoi value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable,, having furnished so many proofs, not alonti as to its being speedy and staying, but also* to its 'training on,' and being essentially tu ' running strain }' for although some others i occasionally produce one or two animals, few, if any, can compete withi Pantaloon as to numbers. . A. very grand recommendation of this strain of thate it mixes successfully with, and improves, aIH others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, andi other good turf authorities agree with liiim to the same effect. On the side ofi the dam of Pertobe there is a lot ofi good blood coming in through The Pre>mier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, wa3 by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (this dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-clasa racer,, bnfc also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses'at the present time, viz., the Newminsters), The Delapr<S blood ia also very good indeed. dam, Fortress, by Defence,, was the dam of. the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the "First. Mrs*. Roberts, the great grand-dam of was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood i&i good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanjaa„ by Mercury, by Eclipse. In so* much is the Wanderer blood thought of,, that they say "a bad one by Wanderer waa never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider thait quite sufficient.

As a sire of good, sound, andl useful stock he has never had an equal in. the Southern hemisphere. His victory itu the Launceaton Champion Race, and th« style in which ho earried 10st. into second! place ia the Melbourne Cup, were performances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy th» most exacting that he was a raoehorse of no mean order. The soundness of his stock has become a proverb on the Australian Turf, and the 1 ancient Strop who won a race at Launceston in February, is a living example. Few horses have gone through suoh an ordeal as Melbourne, another son at present performing at Queensland. The greatest of all steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Hand,, 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 ot Alarm." Terms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of January* 1880.
