PERTOBE iB a beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high, ;Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Viotoria, in 1869. Got by Panic (imported); hiß dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (im. ported), out of Miss Napier, by Delaprd (im. jorted); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, sy Wanderer (imported).—See Victoria Stvd Book, Vol. 11., p. Jft. Panio was im. ported from England to Tasmania, and put to the stud at 3 yrs. old. He 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 Viotoria, 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 ; he was both speedy and staying, of a most docile and qtiiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Like his sire, that first, class English racehorse Alarm, *' ha 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 favored by many first-class mares, he ha 3 got mora winners otit of half-bred ones than any horse in Vio« toria, and for general purposes his Btook iB 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 Bides 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 Venison, tho 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 alone as to its being speedy and staying, but also to its 'training on,' and being essentially a ' running strainfor although some others occasionally produce one or two first-class animals, few, if any, can compete with Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand re-, commendation of this strain of blood is, that it mixes successfully with, and improros, all others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, and. other good turf authorities agree with , him to the same effect. On the side o5 the dam of Pertobe there is a lot of good blood coming in through The Pro* mier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (the* dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class racer, but also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminsters). The DalaprG blood is. also very good indeed. Dolaprd'a dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus tho First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pertobß, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanna, by Mercury, by Eolipse. 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 trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient.

His victory the Launceston Champion Race, and the style in whioh he carried lOst. into second place in the Melbourne Cup, were performances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy tM most exacting that he was a racehorse of no mean order.
