PERTOBE ia a beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Viotoria, in 1869. Got by Panic (imported) ; his dam, Hester Grazebrools, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delaprd (imported); Miss Napier's dam, Mrß. Ilobertß, \>y Wanderer (imported). See Victorian Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. 47. Panio waa imported from England to Tasmania, and put to the stud at 3 yrs. old. He wa3 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 more seasons' training and racing. He proved himself the best English horse ever trained in Australia. He ran remarkably well, and won several race 3, 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 racehorse Alarm, "he waa 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 winners out of half-bred ones than any horse in Viotoria, and for general purposes his stock is much esteemed.

In the breeding of PERTOBE there iB 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 Panic's side 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, not alono as to its being speedy and staying, but also to its 'training oh,' 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 griuid recommendation of this strain of blood is, that it mixes successfully with, and improves, all others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, and other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On the side of the dam of Pertobe there is a lot of good blood coming in through The Pra« mier, whoso graudsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan nnro (the dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first -class racer, bub also as the matornal anoestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminsters). The oelapr<3 blood is also very good indeed. dam, Fortress, by Defence, was ( the datn of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of PEUTOIUfy was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanna, by Mercury, by Eclipse. Iu Tasmania, so much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wandorer was never known," and if they can traco a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient.

As a siro of good, sound, aud useful stock he has never had an equal in the Southern hemisphere. His victory in the Launceston Champion Raae, and the style m which ha carried lOst. into seooad place in the Melbourne Cup, were performances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy the most exacting that ho was a racohorse of no mean order. The soundness of his stook 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 a3 Melbourne, another soil at present per* forming at Queensland. The gi'eatost of all steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Hand, and he is 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." Terms: 1,5 ss, payable let of January. 1880.
