STALLIONS TO TSAT fi L THIS m SEASON IN THE PAPAKAIO, WAIARERA, AND KAKANUI DISTRICTS, If sufficient inducement offers, The fashionably - bred and very superior 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 ie a beautiful dapple brew* Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., VietorU, im 1869. Got by Panic (imported) j hi* daw, Hester Gr&zebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapr6 (Imported) ; Miaa Napier's dans, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported). Set Victorian Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. 47. Panic was itaported from England to Tasmania, aed pet 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 Viotoriap 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 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 horae in Victoria, and for general purposes his stock i« much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there is a combination of some excellent strains of 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, tliat 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 having furnished so many proofs, not alone as to its being speedy and staying, but also, to its ' training on,' and being essentially ft ' 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 re? commendation 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 aide of the dam of Pertobe there is a lot of good blood coming in through The Premier, 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, bufe also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminsters). The D»lapr<s blood is also very good indeed* DelaprS's dam. Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrr'nus the First, Mrs, Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pebtobe, 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 of, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer waa never known," and if they can trace a pedii gree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient.

As a siro of good, sound, and useful stock he has never had an equal in the Southern hemisphere. His victory in the Launceston Champion Race, and the style in which he carried 10et, into second place in the Melbourne Cup, were performances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy th» most exacting that he was a racehorse of na mean order. The soundness of his stock has become a proverb on the Australian Turf, and the ancient Strop who won a race at Launceston in February, iB a living example. Few horses have gone through such an ordeal as Melbourne, another son at present performing at Queensland. The greatest of steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Haadi and he is also a son of Panio. PostbfJ Postman, Prodigious, and many other cross country horses, too numerous tgg tion, are also descendants of thtj Alarm." Terms: L 5 ss, payable Ist oj| 1879. Groom's fee, ss, service.
