TO TRAVEL NUI DISTRICTS, If sufficient inducement offers, The fashionably - bred and very superi; Thorough-bred Horse E R T O BE Eminently suited for getting Hunts; mdsome Weight-carrying Hacks, Horses suitable for the Indian Market. PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple j Stallion, standing 16 hands high, J Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, t-i 1569. Got by Panic (imported) ; his dan"! Hester by The Premier (is 3 ported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapr6 (ii.l ported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Robert ■; by Wanderer (imported). See Victoria Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. 47. Panic wa3 ic ported from England to Tasmania, and pt to the stud at 3 yrs. old. He was trains and raced at 4, and again put to the atnj When he was 6 yrs. old, he was purchase at a high price and imported to Victoria where he had two more seasons' trainij; and racing. He proved himself the btr, English horse ever trained in Australli ' He ran remarkably well, aud won seven; .'.. races, carrying heavy weights ; he was boij v speedy and staying, of a most docile at; "' quiet temper, with a wonderful constitute: and legs like iron. Like hi 3 sire, that firs;. /, class English racehorse Alarm, "he tjj never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired fro: ■:'" the turf without a blemish. At the ski;; although from being in an out-of-the-'ffi;'.'■■ place, he has not been favored by mat; : ; rirst-class mares, he has got more wirmearci out of half-bred ones than any horse in Victoria, and for general purposes his stock j' ,-, much esteemed.. ■; : - In the breeding of PERTOBE there is i : combination of some excellent strains i,. : : blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, if; that famous line through Defence, which comes to him ou the sides of boii'l? sire and dam. On hi 3 sire Panic's EidiJ there is, as well as his good Defence blooi f: that of the game, and stout Venison, fe powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, mos ?- excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. "This" value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniablt, having furnished so many proofs, not aloa as to its being speedy and staying, but al« to its 'training on,' and being essentially s ' running strain ;' for although some otnen occasionally produce one or two first-clsa animals, few, if any, can compete witi Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand recommendation of this strain of blood is, thai it mixes successfully with, and improves, a 5 others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, ia.l other pood turf authorities agree with nm to the same 'effect. On the side o! the dam -of Pertobh there is . lot o: good blood coming in thro'"~' «r, tf Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy-, was bj •Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (thi, dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrate! uot only as a first-class racer, bs! also as the maternal ancestress of England') very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminsters). The Delaprl blood is also very good indeed. Delaprtfi dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the damti the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mn Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pkrtobs, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood ii good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanni, by Mercurv, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, so much is the Wanderer blood thought of,] that they say " a bad one by Wanderer wMi never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient. PERTOBE, by 3m. «*■ *S -Ob"Augur," in the Australasian, June 15th, IS7B, says :—" I couid fili the Australasias with the doings of " Panic," and his descendants. As a sire of good, s'dtmd, and useful stock he has never hadan .equal in the Southern hemisphere. His victory in the Launceston Champion Race,-and tbs style in which he carried 10st. into second place in the Melbourne Cup, were performances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy th« most exacting that he was a racehorse of no mean order. The soundness of his stock has become a proverb ou the Australian Turf, and the ancient Strop who won'a race a$ Launceston in February, is a living example Few horses have gone through such ati ordeal as Melbourne, another son at present performing 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 erO3S country horse 3, too numerous to men« tion, are also descendants of the son o Alarm." Terms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of January, 1579.
