STALLIONS T O TEA VE L THIS ll PAPAKAIO, WAIAREKA, AND KAKA ■ NUI DISTRICTS, If sufficient inducement offers, The fashionably - bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horse PE R T O B b Eminently suited for getting Hunters' Handsome Weight-carrying Hackß, and Horses suitable for the Indian Market PERTOBE 13 a beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, fc 1869. Got by Panic (imported); his dam Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier ported), out of Miss Napier, by Delaprd (in. ported); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs: Roberts' by Wanderer (imported). See Victoria? Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. 47. Panic vras ira.' 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 Victoria 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 quiet temper, with a wonderful constitutes | and legs like iron. Like his sire, that first' class -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 horse in Vic. toria, and for general purposes his stock a much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there is a combination of some excellent strains oi blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, ia that famous line through Defence, and which comes to him on the sides 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, the powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, moEt 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 strain ;' for although some others occasionally produce one or two first-claß animals, few, if any, can compete with Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand recommendation of this strain of blood is, that it mixes successfully with, and improves, all others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, and other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On the side of the dam of Pertobe there is a lot of good blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, v/aa by 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 DelaprS blood is also very good indeed. Delaprt's dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pertobe, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanna, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, so much is the Wanderer blood thought oi, that they say "a bad one by Wanderer wis never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient. PERTOBE, by g a ° c£ 5 "Augur," in the Australasian, June 15ft 1878, says :—" I could fill the Australasia with the doings of "Panic," and bis d* cendants. As a sire of good, sound, aw useful stock he has never had an equal ia the Southern hemisphere. His victory u the Launceston Champion Race, and tls style in which he carried iOst. into secow place in the Melbourne Cup, were perfonEances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy & most exacting that he was a racehorse of n' mean order. The soundness of his stock hi* become a proverb on the Australian Tort and the ancient Strop who won a race s< Launceston in February, is a living esafflP"Few horses have gone through such an oraeu as Melbourne, another son at present p sl ' forming at Queensland. The greatest of steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Ha l "' and he is also a son of Panic.
