TO TRAVEL IN THE PAPAKAIO, WAIARRKA, AND KAKANUI DISTRICTS, If sufficient inducement offers, The fashionably - bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horse PERT 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 Miss Napier, by Delapre' (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberta, by Wanderer (imported). See Victorian Stud Book, Vol. 11 , p. 47- Panic wag 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 legs like iron. Like his sire, that firstclass English racehorse Alarm, "he was never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired from the turE 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 horse in Victoria, and for general purposes his stook is much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there ib a combination of some excellent strains of blood, o ~ch as the Waxy-Whalebone, in that; iamous line through Defence, and which comes to him on the sides of both sire and dam. On hi 3 fire Panic's side there is, as well as his good Defence blood, that of the game aud stout Venison, the V.owerful 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 alone as to fts 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 nrst-clasa animals, few, if any. can compete with Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand recommendation of this strain of blood is, that it mixes successfully with, and improves, aU others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, and other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On the side of the dam of Pertobe there is a lot of crood blood coming in through The Premier, whose grand&ire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, cut of the Ardrossan mare (the dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class racer, but also as the maternal ancestry's? of England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the The Delapr6 blood is also very good indeed. Delaprd s dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of • the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pertobe. was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood la ■ o-ood, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanna, by Mercurv, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, bo much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they sav " a bad one by Wanderer vu never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that ciuite sufficient. PERTOBE, by

■■Augur," in the Australasian, June lath, IS7B, 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 ia the Launceston Champion Race, and th« | style in which he carried 10st. into second place in the Melbourne Cup, were perform- .; rr> of merit, and sufficient to satisfy the most exacting that he was a racehorse of no mean order. 'Che soundness of his stock haa beccmo a proverb on the Australian Turf, and the aJji- nt Strop who won a. race ftt in February, is a li ving example. Few horse have yone through such an ordeal as Melbourne, another sou at present performing at Queensland. The greatest of all steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Hand, and he i 3 also a son of Panic. Postboy, Postman, Prodigious, and many other good cross country horses, too numerous to mea« tion, are also descendants of the eon o Alarm." Terms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of January, 1879.
