STALLIONS rpo STAND THIS SEASON 1 IN THE OAMARU DISTRICT, AND AT MR. PATEBSOVS PKIVATE RESIDENCE, OAMAIiU, The Fashionably-bred and very Superior Thoroughbred Hoise V K K T O B !•: , Bied by H. Phillips; Ksq., Victoria, in IS(>9. By Panic (imported) out of Hester (Jrazebrook. by the Premer (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Polnpre (imported), out. of Mrs Roberts, by Wanderer (imporied) : Panic, by Alarm, out of Queen of Beauty, by Melbourne out of Birthday, by ' antoloon out of Ilonoria, by Camel, &c, &c. Pj;r--toßk is a dark bay horse, 7 years old, standing 15 hands 3 inches high, with great length, substance, and qualitv, and was one of the fastest horses that ever raced in Victoria. The fact that he has got Pantaloon blood in his veins is a great recommendation, for it is questionable if better Hows in any animal's; the very best runners and the grandest specimens of the thoroughbred are descended r'rom 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 first-class animals, still, few can compete with that in question as to number. For high breeding, good true racing action, honesty and gainuness, with speed of remarkable brilliancy, Pertobe has no equal, and Thoroughbred Mares put to him should breed good racehorses. PERTOBE, by O? '-2 _g.s- & 5- ■£• o - •'Augur," writing in the Australasian 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 cau..'-be>Ko disputing that he is the most usefvi); , '* H V-the sires in Australia; and beirj" * ''<*ti«stion.arises, Is he not the mo*' ]?i rs t : ,' ■ •' • 'Hte may not have pro' 1 '- 'vV» <-•" -■•' " llan t uurSSsa* some of our crack sin?, but for the producti' n of every description, he has no i q <al. iSimblefoot, Strop, Melbourne, Adelaide, and others, have placed many a good flat race to his credit: Prodigious, Lone Hand, Saucepan, Quicksilver, and 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 ami limb. Mr. Tait has often told me that the best constitutioned 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."
