PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in 1860. Got by Panic (imported); hia dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (im. ported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapr6 (imported); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported); See Victorian Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. Iff. Panic was im« ported from England to Tasmania, and put to the stud at 3 yra. old. He was trained and raced at 4, and again put to the stud. When he was 6 yrs. old, he was pnrchas. d at a high price and imported to Victoria, where he had tvfQ more seasons' training and racing. He proved himself the beat English horse ever tra ; ned in Australia. Be ran remarkably /well, and won several races, carrying heavy weights ; he was both speedy and stayiug, ol a most dooile and quiet tomper, with a wonderful constitutor and legs like iron. Like his sire, that first* class English racehorse Alarm, "he was never sick, sorry, or lame," stqd retired from the turf without a blemish. At tho stud, although from being in an place, he hag r\ot been favored by many lirat-cla.aa mares, he has got more wiuuers out of half-bred ones than any horse in Vic* toria, and fo' general purposes his Block iy much esteemed.

In the breeding of PERTOBE there is a combination of some excellent strains at blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, in tbat famous line through Defence, and which comes to him on the sides of both sire and dam. On hi 3 sire Panio's eido there is, as well as his good Defence blood, that of the game and stout Venison, the powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, mo3t excellent of all, that of Pautalocu). " Tha value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not alona as to its being speedy and staying, but alto to its 'training on,' and being essentially a ' running strain for although some ofchWra occasionally produce one or two iirat-olilUL auiihals, few, if any, oan compote witWj Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand re* commendation of this strain of blood is, that it mixes successfully with, and improves, all others.!' Thus writes Copperthwaite, aud other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On the side of the dam of Pektobe there is $ lqt of good blood coming in thvough The Pro* mier, whose graudsjrq, Tomboy, was hy Jerry, out ot the Ardroasan mare (the dam of the mare Beeswing, oelebrateij not only as a filjst-Qlaas racer, but also as the maternal aucestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminstera). The L)elapr<s blood is also very good indeed. Delapr6'< dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhup the First. Mrs, lloberts, the great grand-dam of Pjkrtoee, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood ij good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanaa, by Mercury, by Eclipse. Ja Tasmania, bo much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer was never known/' and if they oan trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient.
