STAUWJON3 seasosPAPAKAIO, WAIARBKA, AND KAKi. NUI DISTRICTS, If sufficient inducement offers, The fashionably - bred and very supejjnf Thorough-bred Horse PERT O Bg Eminently suited for getting Hunter*' Handsome .Weight-carrying Hacks, and Horses suitable for the Indian Market. PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, yj IS6D. Got by Panic (imported) ; his dim Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (i m . ported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapr6(im. ported); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts by Wanderer (imported). Set Victorian Stud Book, Vol. jr., p. 4'7- Panic was im. 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 price and imported to Victoria, where he had two more seasons' traininir and racing. He proved himself the best English horse ever trained in Australia. He ran remarkably well, and won several races, carrying heavy w-eights ; he waa both speedy and staying, of a most docile and quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Like his Bire, that firstclass English racehorse Alarm, "he 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 has got more winners out of half-bred ones than any h >rsc in Vic. toria, and for general purposes his stock ig much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there h a combination of some, excellent strains oi 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 tire Panic's side there is, as well as hi* good Defence blond, that of the game ami stout Venison, thi powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, most excellent of all, that cf Pantaloon. " Tb* value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not alons as to its being speedy and staying, hut also to its 'training on,' and being essentially a ' running strain ;' for although Eonie others occasionally produce one or two first'-elasg I animals, few, if any, can compete with j Pantaloon a* to numbers. A rery grand re. | commendation of this strain of blood is, that j it mixes successfully wir.h, and improves, all | othere." Thus writes Oopperthwaite, and j other good turf authorities agree with him !to the eamo effect. On the side of the dam of Perxobk there is a lot oi good blood coming in through The Pre* mier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (the dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class racer, bnt also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the iv'uwminsters). Tije Djlaprfi blood is also very good indeed. DelaprA 1 ?. dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhiis the First. Mrs, Roberts, the great grand-dain of Pertobe, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is good, he being by Wanderer,- by Gohanca, by Mercury, by hclipse. In Taemauia, 80 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 r Wanderer mac, they consider that quite sufficient.

I "Augur, in the Australasian, June 15th, IS7B, says :—-" I could sll the Australasian ! with the doings of "Panic," and hia des. i cendants. As a sir« of good, soand, and useful stock He has never had an equal in the Southern hemisphere. Hia victory ia tiie Launce.ston Champion Race, and the style in which ho carried I Oat. into gecond plac:; in the Melbourne Cup, were perform* anoes of merit, and tuifioienfc to satisfy ths most exacting that he wr\s a racehorse of ne mean order. The soundness of bis stock has become a proverb on the Australian Turf, und the ancient Strop who won a race ai Launeestnn in February, is a Imng example. FVw horses have j;one through such an ordeal as Melbourne, another son at present parforming at Queensland. The greatest of all steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Hand 4 and he ia also a sen of Panic Pd3tboyj Postman, Prodigious, and many other good cross country horses, too numerous to men» tion, are also descendants of the son c-f Alarm." .: Terms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of January, 1879.
