STALLIONS PAPAKAIO, wai.ak k.a, and kakaNUI DISTRICTS, If sufficient inducement offers, The fashionably - bred and very suDcrior Thorough-bred Horse PE R T O BE, Eminently suited for getting Hunters, Handsome Weight-carrying .Hacks, and Horses suitable for the Indian Market. PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown Stalliou, standing 16 hand 3 high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria; in lStii). Got by Panic (imported); his dam. Heater Grazebrook, by The Premier (im» ported), out of Miss Napier, by (imported); Miss Napier's dam, MriKoTJertß", by Wanderer (imported).— See'iVtctoridlL Stvd Book, Vol. 11, p 47. Panic; was im« • ported from England to Tasmania, and put to the stud at 3 yra. old. He was trained and raced at 4, and again put to the stud. When he was 6 yrs old, he -was pnpciiasod at a high price and imported to Victoria, where he had two more seasons' training and racing. He proved himself the beat Ktiidish horse ever trained in Australia, He ran remarkably well, and -won several races, carrying heavy weights ; he Tra3-both. speedy and staying, of a most docile and quiet temper, wir.h a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Like his sire, that firstclass Knglis i racehorse Alarm, "he waa never sick, sorry, or lame," and reti ed from the turf without a blemish. At the atud, although from being in an out-of-the-way place, he has not been favored by many first-claws mares, he lias got more winners nit of half-bred ones than any horse in Victoria, and for aeneial purpose.-* his stock if much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there i 3 a •ombination of ;-nme excellent strains of i blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, inliat famous lino througn Defence, and. vhteh comes to him on the sides of both sire and dam. On his >ire Panic's side r ,here is, as well as his good Defence blood, hat of the gamey/ahd stent Venison, the owerful rind speedy Melnourne, and, most excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. "The. valijg ,_nj Pantaloon blood is undeniable, laving i lished so many proofs, not alone is to its oeing speedy and staying, but aleo r.o its ' training on,'aud being essentially a ' running strain ;' for although some others occasionally produce one or two first-class inimais, few, if any, can compete with Pantaloon ai to numbers. A very grand recommendation of this strain of blood is, that, it mi:;es successfully with, and improves, all: others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, anil oilier good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On the aide of the dam of Pektobe there is a lot of good blood coming in through The Preoiier, whose graudsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (the dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated , j not oniy as a first-class racer, but | also 33 the maternal ancestress of England's j very best family of racehorses at the present I time, viz., the Newmiusters). The Delapre ; blood is also very good indeed. DelapriVs s | dam. Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of ? j the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. s I 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 I'Jc'ipse. In Tasmania, eo ' much is the Wanderer blood thought of, " that they say "a bad one by Wanderer was--1 never known," and if they can trace a pedi- * -reo to a Wanderer maic, they consider that quite sufficient. - i PEKTOBE, bv Gj g,< j " Augur," in the Australasian, June istt\„ i 1878, says :—" I eowld fill the AußtreJEasian. j with the doings of "Panic," and hi» des~ condants. As a sire of good, sound,. am.'i the Southern hemisphere. Hi 3 victory m the Launceston Champion Race, and the st.vle »» which he carried lOst. iafco second •l r/n the Melbourne Cup, were perform-.mi-es of merit, and sufficient to satisfy Um» " most exacting that he was a racehorse of no mean order. The soundness of his <*tock had become a pr-.verb on the Australian Turf, and the ancient Strop who won a race <A Launcestou in February, is a living exaraplr, fr>w horses have gone through such an ordeal as Melbourne, another son at present performing at Queensland. The greatest of all stecnlecnasers is undoubtedly Lone Han*: 7 , and he is also a son of Panic. Postbo; g Postman, Prodigious, and many other goi d | cross country horses, too numerous to me a tion, are also descendants of the son of Alarm." Terms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of January, 1579.
