T~O TRAVEL THIS CTI SEASON IK THE PAPAKAIO, WAIARKKA, AND KAKi NUI DISTRICTS, If sufficient inducement offers, The fashionably - bred and very superic: Thorough-bred Horse PE R T O B E Eminently suited for getting Hunter Handsome Weight-carrying Hacks, as; Horses suitable for the Indian Market. PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brotr; Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by 11. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, i;. 1569. Got by Panic (imported) ; his dam' Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (in ported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapr<s (ig ported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported).—See Victoria!. Stud Book, Vol. 11-, j>. Ifi. Panic was im;' ported from England to Tasmania, and pm" to the stud at 3 yrs. old. He was trains and raced at 4, and again put to the stud When he was 6 yrs. old, lie was purchase; at a high price and imported to Victoria where he had two more seasons' trainin; and racing. He proved himself the be?, English horse ever trained in Australia He ran remarkably well, and won severs: races, carrying heavy weights ; he wa3 hot! speedy and staying, of a most docile as: quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Like his sire, that firs l , class English racehorse Alarm, "he wsj never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired fro; the turf without a blemish. At the stai although from being in an out-of-the--waj place, he has not been favored by manj first-class mares, he has got more winnen out of half-bred ones than any horse in Vic. toria, and for general purposes his stock ii much esteemed.

In the breeding of PEItTOBE there is i combination, of some excellent strains e blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, irv that famous line through Defence, an: i which comes to him on the sides of bot:. sire and dam. On his sire Panic's Eidr there is, as well as his good Defence blood : that of the game and stout Venison, th powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, most excellent c>f all, that of Pantaloon. " Tfci value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not -aloeas to ita being speedy and staying, but ak to its ' training on,' and being essentially i- ' running strain for although some other>» occasionally produce one or two first-clas! animals, few, if any, can compete witaij Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand ifri commendation of this strain of blood is, that J it mixes successfully with, and improves, all; others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, anil, other good turf authorities agree with hm to the same effect. On the side of the dam of Pertobe there is a lot ol good blood coming in through The Pra mier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was dj Jerry, out of the Ardrossan (tbi dam of the mare Beeswing, cekb.r-.tal not only as a first-class racer, bat also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the JSTewmins.ters). The DeUpri blood is also very good indeed. DelaprS'i dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam oi the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pertobe, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood ii good, lie being by Wanderer, by Gohanna, bv Mercury, by Kelipse. In Tasmania, go much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer was never known," and if they can trace a pedi: gree to a Wanderer mare, they consider quite sufficient. PSRTOBE, by

"Augur," in the Australasian, June 15th, 1878, say 3 :—" I could fill the Australaßianwith the doings of Panic," and hia descendants. 'As a sire of good,' sound, and useful stock he .has never had an-equal in the Southern hemisphere. His in the Launceston Champion Race, and the style in which he carried 10st. into second place in the Melbourne Cup, were, performances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy the most exacting that he was a racehorse Of no 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, is a living example. Few horses have gone through such an ordeal as Melbourne, another son at present parforming at Queensland. The greatest of 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 tojmention, are also descendants of the son o Alarm." Terms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of January, 1879.
