TO TRAVEL THIS ffl SEASON IS THE PAPAKAIO, "WAIAREKA, AND KAKANUI DISTRICTS, If sufficient inducement offers, The -fashionably - bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horse PE.. R T O B E, Eminently suited for getting Hnntera, 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 1869. Got by Panic (imported) ; his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (im. ported), out of Miss Napier, by DelapnS (im. ported); Miss Napier's dain, Mrs. Roberta, by "Wanderer (imported).—See Victorian Stud Boob, Vol. 11, p. 47. Panic was im. ported from England to Tasmania, and pat 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 be3t 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 waa 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 tirst-elass mares, he has got more winners out ,of half-bred ones than any horse in Victoria, and for geneial purposes hia stock ii much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there is t combination of some excellent strains oi blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, ia that famous line through Defence, and which comes to him on the sides of both sire and dam. On his eire Panic's aide there is, as well as his good Defence blood, that of the game and stout Venison, tha powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, mo£l excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. " Thi value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not alons as to its being speedy and staying, but alas | to its ' training on,' and being essentially > ' running strain ;' for although some • others occasionally produce one or two first-class animals, few, if any, can compete, will Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand recommendation of this strain of blood is, that it mixes successfully with, and improves, ail others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, and other good turf authorities agree wxOJ, him to the same effect. On the side d the dam of Pertobe there is a lot o! good blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, vra3 jJry ™t of the Ardxossan mare {tha dam 'of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class racer, but also as the maternal ancestress of England! very best family of racehorses at the preaeat time, viz., the Newminster3). The DelaprS blood is also very good indeed. Delapr6s dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam oi the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mm. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pertobs, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer s blood u good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanna, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, m much is the "Wanderer blood thought of, that they say "a bad one by Wanderer ws never known," and if they can trace a P®di" gree to a Wanderer mare, they consider tha quite sufficient.

As a sire of good, sound, sat useful stock he has never had an equal i* the Southern hemisphere. His riotory is the Launceston Champion Race, and tin style in which he carried 10st. into seeouC place in the Melbourne Cup, were performances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy thi mo3t exacting that he was a racehorse of b< mean order. The soundness of his stock M become a proverb on the Australian TnrA and the ancient Strop who won a race Launceston in February, is a living example Few horses have gone through such an orde* as Melbourne, another son at present pe*' forming at Queensland. The greatest of steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Han4 and he is also a son of Panic. Postboy Postman, Prodigious, and many other goot cross country horses, too numerous to mes* tion, are also descendants of the son « Alarm." Terms: L 5 5?, payable* Jsfc oi .January .1879.
