And will stand at J. Henderson's Windmill, The fashionably - bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horse P E R T 0 B E, Eminently suited for getting Hunters, Handsome Weight-carrying Hacks, and Horses suitable for the Indian Market. 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 Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier 1 , by Delaprd (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mra. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported). See Victorian Stud Booh, Vol. 11., p. 47. Panic was imported from England to Tasmania, and put to the stud at 8 yrs. old. Ho was 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 races, oarrying 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 was never sick, sorry, or lame," and rotired from the turf without a blemish. At the atud, although frpm being in an out-of-the-way place, he has not been favored by many tirat-class mares, ho has got more winners out of half-bred ones than any horse in Victoria, and for general purposes his stock itj much esteemed.

In the breeding of PERTOBE fchera is a 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 and dam. On his sire Panic's side there is, as well as his good Defence blood, that of the game and stout Vonison, 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 • alquQ' as to its being speedy and staying, but to its 'training on,'and being qss§t»fcis4ly A ' running strain j' 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 r§» commendation of this strain of blood ia, 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 aide of the dam of Pertobe there is a lot of good blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (the dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not • only as a first-class racer, also as the maternal ancestress of lijng}r,4d'§ very best family of at the pros out time, vi?., the Newmmsters). The Delaprt} blood is also very good indeed. Delaprd'a dam, Fortress, by Defence, was- the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the f First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pertobe, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood \(J good, he being by Wanderer, by Gqtyiqufy by Mercury, by Eclipse. |n sq much is the Wanderer bloqd thought of, that they say "a bad one by Wanderer w ofi never known," an 4 if they can trqce a pedigree to a Wanderer mare," they consider that quite sufi&cient, PBRTOBE, by
