PERTOBE ia a beautiful dapple brown Stallion,: standing 16 hands high, . > Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in 1869. Got by Panic (imported); his dam, Hester Grazebroob, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delaprd (imported); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imparted). See Victorian Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. 47. Panic was imported from England to Tasmania, and puis to the stud at _3 yrs. old. He was trained and raced at 4t, 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 English 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'iroh. lake his sire, that firs/fcr class English racehorse Alarm, "he was never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired from the turf without a blemish. At the' stud, although from heing in an out-of-the-way place, he has not been favored by many lirst-clasa mares, he has got more winters* out of' half-bred ones than any horse ia Yiak toria, and for general purposes his atoek ia much psteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE is a combination ,of some excellent, strains of blood, such as the Waxy«Wbalobone, ia that famous line throujm Defence, and' which comes to him on me sides of both sire and dam. On his sire Panio's sid® there is, as well as his good Defenoe bloody that of the game and stout Venison, tho powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, most* excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. " Tha value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, hot alone 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, oan compote with Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand re«, commendation of this strain of blood is, thai it mixes successfully with, and all others." Thus writes _ and other good, turf authorities agree wife him to the same effect. On tho, side 0$ the dam of Pertobe there & a lot o? good blood coming in throasgli The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the A,T<Jro ssan mare (th«* dam of the marq Beeswing, celebrated uot only as A first-class racer, , bu& also as the ancestress of England's very bsat family of racehorses at the prewendt time, viz., tha Newminsters)L The D&laprd blood is also very good indeed. Delapr6's dam, Fortress, by Defence, was, the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the "First. Mrs. Roberta, the great grand-dam of Pjbbto.be, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood & good, he being by Wanderer, by by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, so > much is the Wanderer blood thcwghjb that they say "a bad one by wag never known," arid if they can trapjp a. pedi-. gree to a Wanderer mare, tJs,oy consider thafc quite sufficient.

As a siro of good, sound, and useful stock he has never had an equal in the Southern hemisphere. His, viotorjr in the Launceston Champion Race, and the style in which ho carried lOst. into aeoojiid place in the Melbourne Cup, were perform' ances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy the most exacting that- he was a racehorse of no mean order; The soundness of his stock has become a proverb on the Australian Turf, and the. ancient Strop who won a race at Launceston in February, is a living example. Few horses have gone through such an ordeal as Melbourne, another son at present performing at Queensland. The greatest of all steeplechasers is undoubtedly; Lone Hand, and he ia also a son of Panic, Postboy, Postman, Prodigious, and many other good cross country horses, too numerous to "men* tion, are also descendants of the son of Alarm."
