STALLIONS PAPAKAIO, WAIARKKA, AND KARAnui districts, If sufficient inducement offers, shiouably - bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horse PERT 0 BE, Eminently suited for getting Hunters, 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, in 186!). Got by Panic (imported) ; his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapr6 (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported). See Victorian Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. 4.7. Panic was imported 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 studWhen 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 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 constitution, and legs like iron. Like his sire, that firstclass English racehorse Alarm, '' he was never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired front the tarf without a blemish. At the stud, although from being in an out-of-the-way place, he has not been favored by many tirst-class mares, he has got more winners out of half-bred ones than any horse in Victoria, and for jjeneial purposes his stock is I much esteemed. I In the breeding of PERTOBE there is a combination of some excellent strains ol 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 sire Panic's side there is, as well as his good Defence blood, that of the game and stout Venison, the yiowerful and speedy Melbourne, and, mott 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 I to its 'training on,'aud being essentially a ' running strain ;' for although some others occasionally produce one or two tirst-class animals, few, if any, can compete with Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand recommendation of this strain of blood is, thnt it mixes successfully with, and improves, a 1 others." Thus wnte3 Copperthwaite, and other good turf authorities agree with him to tlie same effect. On the side '.* the dam of Pertoke there is a lot •<; good blood coming in through The Premier, whose (/randsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of roe Ardrossan mare (the dam of toj mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a. first-class racer, but also tl'o, m.iv.-mal ancestress of England'B very bt.-st i'amily of racehorses at the present time, viz., th'.- Newminsters). The Dt-lapre blood ii :ilv> very good indeed. Delapre's dam. Fortress, by Defence, was the dam 0! the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pektouk, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is good, lie being by Wanderer, by Gohanna, by Mercury, by Eclipse. Iu Tasmania, .=<> much is the Wanderer blood thought 01, that they say "a bad one by Wanderer was never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient. PERTOBE, by "Augur," in the Australasian, June 15:i> IS7S, says :—" I could fill the Australian with the doings of ' ; Panic," and his <ie;ceudants. As a sire of good, sound, anil useful stock he has never had an equal in the Southern hemisphere. His victory in the Launceston Champion Race, and th= style in which he carried lOst. into second place in the Melbourne Cup, were perfonr.ances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy ti:= most exacting that he was a racehorse of no mean order. The soundness of his stock hss become a proverb on the Australian Tur.', and the ancient Strop who won a race - : Launceston in February, is a living examp!-; Few horses have gone through such an ord«J as Melbourne, another son at present p- r ; forming at Queensland. The greatest of J--steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Han I '., and he is also a son of Panic.
