Henderson's WiwJmHT, The fashionably - bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horse PERT O . B E, Eminently suited for getting Hunters, Handsome Weight-carrying Haoks, and Horses suitable for the Indian Markets PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Viotoria, J n 1869. Got by Panic (imported); his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (im« ported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapr<s (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Robertß, iy Wanderer (imported). See Victoria. Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. 47. Panio was it*, ported from England to Tasmania, and put to the stud at 3 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 prioo and imported to Viotoria, where he had two more seasons' training and raoing. He proved himself the best English horse ever trained in Australia. He ran remarkably well, and won several races, carrying heavy weights; ho was bothi speedy and staying, of a most docile andl quiet temper, with a wonderful 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 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, both sire and dam. On his sire Panic's Bide, there is, as well as his good Defence blood* that of the game and stout Venison, tbet powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, moslt excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. Thft value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniably having furnished so many proofs, not alone as to its being speedy and staying, but alao to its 'training on,' and being essentially a ' running strainfor although some others occasionally produce one or two first-closi animals, few, if any, oan compete 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 him to the same effect. On the side ofi the dam of Pertobe there iB a lot ofi 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-olass racer, but also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminsters). The Dalapr6 blood is also very good indeed. Dolaproa dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs, Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pertobe, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood it good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohann#, by Mercury, by Eolipse. In Tasmania, so much iB the Wanderer blood thought of* that they say "a bad one by Wanderer tm never known," and if they oan traoe a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient.
