STALOUNS^ PAPAKAIO, WAIARKK.A, AND KAKANUI DISTRICTS, It sufficient inducement offers, The fashionably - bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horse PE R T 0 BE, Eminently suited for getting Hunters,' Handsome Weight-carrying Hacks, and Horses suitable for the Indian Market. PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown i Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in 1869. Got by Panic (imported); his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (im'. ported), out of Miss Napier, by Delaprg (im. ported); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by "Wanderer (imported).— See Victorian Stud Bool; Vol. 11., p. 47. Panic was imported from England to Tasmania, and put to the stud at S yra. old. He was trained and raced at 4, and again put ito the stud. When he was G 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 iu 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 constitution, and legs like iron. Like his sire, that firstclass English racehorse Al never sick, sorry, or lame," a the turf without a blemish. At the stud, although from being in an out-of-the-way place, he has not been favored by mauy hrst-class mares, he has got more winners out of half-bred ones than any horse in Victoria, and for aeueral purposes his stock is much esteemed. In tne iireeding of PERTOBE there is a combination of some excellent strains 0: blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, ia chat famous line through Defence, and which comes to him on the sides of both sire and dam. On his sire Panic's side r,here is, as well as his good Defence blood, that of the game and stout Venison, the 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 akme 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 tirst-ckss ' nals, few, if any, can compete with Ltaloon as to numbers. A very grand recommendation of this strain of blood is, that it mixes successfully with, and improves, ad others." Thus wnte3 Copperthwaite, and other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On the side,- ,: the dam of Pertqre there is a lot '' good blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, wa3 l>y 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 -eseni time, viz., the Newminsters). The Dalapre blood is also very good indeed. Delapres dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam <•: the Darby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mn. Roberts, the great grand-dam of PektuN, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blcmd 3 good, he being by \Vauderer, by Gohaona, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, .'<■• much is the Wanderer blood thought r.r. that they say "a bad one by Wanderer wis never known," and if they can trace a pa'-U----gree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient. PERTOBE, by " Augur," in the Australasian, June IS:IS7S, says :—" I could till the Australasia with the doings of "Panic," and his <fc; cendauts. As a sire of good, sound, aW useful stock he has never had an equal ' 5 the Southern hemisphere. His victory » the Launccston Champion liaao, and the style in which he carried 10st. into secosi place in the Melbourne Cup, were pertornances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy the most exacting that he was a racehorse of t r > mean order. The soundness of hi 3 .stock ha become a proverb on the Australian Tun, and the ancient Strop who won a race a: Launceston in February, is a living exampleFew horses have gone through such an ordeii as Melbourne, another son at present performing at Queensland. The greatest of »'« -iteeplecnasers is undoubtedly Lone Hand, and he is also a sou of Panic. Poith*-}". Postman, Prodigious, and many other go-f cross country horses, too numerous to rnei> tion, are also descendants of the son '-' Alarm." Terms: L 5 03, payable Ist of January, 1579.
