PERTOBE' is abeautiful, dapple brown 'Stallion, Btanding 16handa high, Bred. by : H. Phillips, Esq.; Victoria, in 1869. Got by Panic (imported); his dam, Hester, Grazebrook, by The' Premier (im« ported), out. of Miss Napier, by Delaprd (imported).; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported), Set Victorian Stud Booh,' Vol, 11,, p, Jft, Paaio ,was imported from England to Tasmania, and pufc ito ; the stud at 3 yra. old. He ma 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 m6re seasons'' training; and racing.: He proved himself the beak English horse ever trained in Australia. He ran remarkably well, and won several l , races, carrying, heavy weights j hewasbothi speedy and staying, of a most docile andl quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution,, and legs like iron. Like his sire, that class English racehorse Alarm, "he was never Bickj.sorry, or lame," and retired from the turf without a blemish. At the stud, although from beine in an out-of-the-way place, he has not been favored by many hrst-class mares, he has got more out of half-bred ones than any horae in Victoria, and for general' purposes' his stock is much esteemed.

In the breeding of PERTOBE there is at 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'knd dam.' On his sire Panio'a sid« there is, as well as his good Defence! blood, that of the game and stout Venismcy the , powerful and speedy Melbourne', annt, most excellent of all, that ; of Pantaloon. " Th» value of the Pantaloon-blood is haying furnished so many proofs, not alon* as to its being speedy and staying, but also to its' training on,'and being essentially a> • running strainfor although some othera occasionally produce. one or two first-class animals, few, if any, can compete with Pantaloon as to numbers. , A very grand rep commendation of this strain of blood is>.thafc it mixes successfully with, and improves* aIS others." Thus writes Coppertbwaitej, andl other good turf authorities agree with, him to, the same effect. On the aide: ,q£ the dam of Pertobe there isi a of good blood coming in through. Thd* Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, waa by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (tha dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated' not only as a first-class racer, but also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the JSTewminaters). The DelaprA blood is also vary good indeed. Delaprg'a dam, Fortress, by Defence, was. the dam ot the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the TTirst. -Mrs.. Roberts, the great grand-dam of was by Wanderer, i and Wanderer's blood ias good, he being by Wanderer, by Qohanna,, by Mercury, by Eclipse. .In Tasmania, so much is the Wanderer blood thought of* that they say " a bail one by .Wanderer waa never kn.o\yn," and if they .can traoe a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider thate quite sufficient.
