STALLIONS rf\o STAND THIS SEASON IN THE OAMARU DISTRICT, MR. PATERSON'S PRIVATE RESIDENCE, O AMARU, The Fashionably-bred and very Superior Thoroughbred Horse V K 1! T O B E , Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, inlSG'9. By Panic (imported) out of Hester Grazebrook, by the Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapre (imported), out of Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported); Panic, by Alarm, out of Queen of Beauty, by Melbourne out of Birthday, by I antaluon out of Honi'ria, by Camel, &c, &C. Prcu•rnjji-: is a dark bay horse, 7 year.-; old, stand- -'•• - 15 bands 3 inches high, with great substance, and quality, and was one of the fastest horses that ever raced iu Victoria. The faot that lie has got Pantaloon blood in his veins is a great recommendation, for it is questionable if better (lows in any animal's; the very best runners and the grandest specimens of the thoroughbred are descended from Pantaloon, whose blood cannot be excelled. The value of Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not alone as to speed and staying, but also as a running strain, for although some others occasionally produce one or two tirst-ela-s animals, still, few can compete with that in question as to number. Em- high breeding, good true racing action, honesty and ganiciiess. with S"(.-ed 01 remarkable In illi.-uicy, Pi-.KTOBi' has no equal, and Thoioughbred Mares put to him should breed good racehorses. PERTUBE, by " Augur," writing in the Attstralasian of the 4th"of August last, says : " Several more thoroughbred "ires have been advertised, and,"if - placed according to merit, Panic certainly deserves the premier position, for there can be no disputing that he is the most useful of all the sires in Australia ; and being so, the question arises, Is he not the most valuable ? He may not have produced such brilliant horses as some of our crack sires, but for the production of every description, he has no equal. Nimblefoot, Strop, Melbourne, Adelaide, and others, have placed many a good flat race to his credit; Prodigious, Lone Hand, Saucepan, Quicksilver, mid many others, have shown us what his descendants are capable of over a country ; and for general purposes they are unsurpassed, as they inherit all their sire's soundness of wind and limb. Mr. Tait has often told me that the best constituiioned horse he ever owned was Melbourne ; and this being one of the chief characteristics of Panic's stock, he is well worthy of liberal patronage from breeders."
