PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in 1869. Got by Panio (imported); his dam Hester Grazebrook, by Tho Premier (im'. ported), out of Miss Napier, by Delaprd (im. ported); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roborta yy Wanderer (imported). See Victoria * Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. 47. Panio was im. ported from England to Tasmania, aud put to the stud at 3 yrs. old. He was trainod and raced at 4, and again put to the Btud. 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 tho best English horse ever trainod in Australia, He ran remarkably well, and won sovorai races, carrying heavy woights ; he was both speedy ana staying, of a most dooile and quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Like his sire, that first* class English racehorse Alarm, "ho was never sick, aorry, or lame," and retired from the turf without a blemish. At tho Btud, although from being in an out-of-the-way plaoe, he has not been favored by many first-class marcs, he has got more winner* out of half-bred ones than any horse in Vio> toria, and for general purposos hia atook ii much esteemed. . In the breading of PERTOBE there is a combination of some excellent strains ot blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, fa that famous lino through Defenco, and which comes to him on tho sides of both sire and dam. On his sire Panio's sido there is, as well as his good Defence blood, that of the game and stout Venison, tho powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, most excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. "Tho value of the Pantaloon blood is undoniablo, having furnished so many proofs, not alona as to its being speedy and staying, but also to its 'training on,' and being essentially i ' running strain ;' for although some otliora occasionally produce one or two first-clam animals, few, if any, can compete with Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand rocommendation of thia strain of blood is, that it mixes successfully with, and improves, all others." Thus writes Copperthwaito, and other good turf authorities agree with hisv to the same effect. On the sido oj the dam of Pertobk there is a lot oS good blood coming in through The Pro. mier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (tha dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class racor, but also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at tho present time, viz., the Newminators), The D&laprtf blood iB also very good indeed. Delaprii's dam, Fortress, by Defence, waa the dam of, tho Derby winner, Pyrrhua the First. Mr#, Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pertohb, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohaona, by Meraury, by Eclipse, In Tasmania, bq much is the Wanderer blood thought oi, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer wi never known," and if they can traao a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they oonaidor that quite sufficient.
