SEASON IX THE PAPAKAIO, WAIAP.KKA, 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, Br.ed by If. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in ISO' 9. Got by Panic (imported) ; his dam, Uester 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. 47. 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 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 rau remarkably well, and won several races, carrying heavy weights ; he was both »peedy and staying, of a mo?t docile and quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, aud 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 thsn any horse in Victoria, and for general purposes his stock i 8 much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there is a combination of some excellent strains of blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, in : hat famous line through Defence, and which comes to him on the sides of both siro and dam. On his fire Panic's side there is, as well as his good Defence blood, that of the game and stout Venison, the !.i,'werful and speedy Melbourne, and, most cx< uiUrut of all, that of Pantaloon. "The ■:lue ■ -~ thf> Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not alone us •■■■ its being speedy and staying, but also toiis '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 recommendation 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 effeot. On the side of the dam of Peutobe there is a lot of good blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandsire. Tomboy, was by •Terry, cut of the Ardrossan mare (the dam of ihe mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class racer, but also as the materml ancestr<-3s of England's very best family of rac-.h >;scs at the present lime, viz., the Newmin.-ters). Tne Delaprd i.il'od is also very good indeed. Delapr6's dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. lioberts, the great grand-dam of Pertobe, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is good, lie being by Wanderer, by Gohanua, liy Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, so much is the Wanderer blood thought of, 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 ;5 2 «< " Augur," in the Australasian, June 15th, IS7S, says :—" I could fUI the Australasian ivith the doings of " Panic," and his descendants. As a sire of good, sound, and iseful stock he has never had an equal in ;he Southern hemisphere. His victory in ;he Launceston Champion Race, and the style in which he carried lOst. into second ?lace in the Melbourne Cup, were perfornvuiees of merit, and sufficient to satisfy tift nost exacting that he was a racehorse of Mean order. The soundness of his stock s 3ecome a proverb on the Australian Turf, ffld the salient Strop who won a race at Lauuwst;:n in February, is a living example. Few horses have ;;oue through such an ordeal is Melbourne, another son at present perrormir.g at Queensland. The greatest of all steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Hand, md he i 3 also a son of Panic. Postboy, Postman, Prodigious, and many other good cross country horses, too numerous to men* ion, are also descendants of "the son o : - Aiarm." rerms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of January, 1579.
