TO TRAVEL PAPAKAIO, WAIARKKA, 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 is a beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in 1569. Got by Panic (imported) ; his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Mis 3 Napier, by Delapre (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported). See Victorian Stud Book, Vol. 11-, V~ &■ 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 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 constitution, and 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-clas3 mares, he has got more winners out of half-bred ones than any horse in Victoria, and for gener;d purposes his stock ia much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there is s 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, that of the game and stout Venison, the powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, most excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. "The I value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not aions.. 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 reit 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 Pektohe there is a lot oi pnod biood coming in through The-Pre-mier, 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, but also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminsters). The Delapr6 blood is also very good indeed. DelaprfS's dam Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pertobe, | was bv Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood ia o-ood, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanna, by Mercurv, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, so much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they sav " 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 i B - i« §-2 g " Augur," in the Australasian, June 15th, IS7S, says :—"I could fill the Australasian with the doings of "Panic," and his descendants. As a sire 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 lOst. into second piace in the Melbourne Cup, were performances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy the most exacting that he was a racehorse of no jpean order. The soundness of his stock has become a ]--r->vci-b on the Australian Turf, and the si-o;*»t Strop who won a race at LauiK-e J 't»u ;n I\:bru3ry, is a living example. Few horses hs •-'•• through such an ordeal as ih.lben'.n-, another son at present per. formiiii: ;it Queensland. The greatest ot all steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Hand, and he is also a son of Panic. Postboy, Postman, Prodigious, and many other good cross country horses, too numerous to mention, are also descendants of the son o Alarm." Termß: L 5 ss, payable Ist of January, 1879.
