PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple browo 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, by Dolapr6 (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts,, by Wanderer (imported). See Victoria Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. 47. Panio was imported from England to Tasmania, and putto the stud at 3 yrs. old. He waß trainod and raoed 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, 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 first* class English racehorse Alarm, "he was 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 favorod by many first-class mares, he has got more winuora out of half-bred ones than any horse in Victoria, and for general purposes his otook ia much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE the** is 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 bath

wmcn comes 10 mm on -cue Bia.es 01 doui aire and dam. On his sire Panio's sido 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 having furnished so many proofs, noi)'4lona as to its being speedy and Btaying, but(-nlsa to its ' training on,' and being essentially a ' running strain ;' for although some othors occasionally produce one or two first-class animals, few, if any, can compote with Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand 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 himi to the same effect. On the side o£ the dam of Pertobe there is a lot of good blood coming in through The Promier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan maro (tho dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class raoor, but also as .the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at tho present time, viz., the Newminsters). The Delaprd blood, is also very good indeed. Delaprd's dam, Fortress, by Deienco, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhua tho First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pkbtojib, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is good,, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanna, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, so much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer was never known," and if they can tracs a podigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that, quite sufficient.
