TO TRAVEL IN THE PAPAKAIO, WAIAREKA, AND KAKANTJI DISTRICTS, If sufficient inducement offers, The fashionably - bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horse PE R T O B Eminently suited for getting Huntcra, Handsome Weight-carrying Hacks, ani. Horses suitable for the Indian Market. PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple br»wm Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, ia 1569. Got by Panic (imported) ; his «a», Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapr* (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberta, by Wanderer (imported). See Vietorhcoi Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. 47. Panic was imported from England to Tasmania, and p«t to the stud at 3 yrs. old. He was trained and raced at 4, and again put to the stwd. 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 botb speedy and staying, of a, most docile and quiet temper, with a wonderful constitutioß, and legs like iron. Like his sire, that firstclass English racehorse Alarm, "be waa I never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired frena the turf without a blemish. At th« stsd, i 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 Yiotoria, and for general purposes his stock is much esteemed.

In the breeding of PERTOBK there is a combination of some excellent strains of blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, is that famous line through Defence, and which comes to him on the sides of both sire and dam. On his sire Panic's side there is, as well as his good Defence blood, that of the game and stout Venison, th« powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, most excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. " Tke value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, mot alene as to its being speedy and staying, liut also to its '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, tba£ it mixes successfully with, and improves, all others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, and other good turf authorities agree -with kim to the same effect. On the side •* the dam of Pertobe there is a lot ef good blood,.coming in through The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, 'was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (the dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only a3 a first-class racer, bat also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the preaeafc time, viz., the Newminsters). The Dalapre' blood is also very good indeed. dam, iVi-tioss, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, „»— First. Mrs, Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pertobh, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is good, he being by Wanderer, by GohanM, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, $» much is the Wanderer blood thought of, "that they say " a bad one by Wanderer ytaq never known," and if they can trace a pedi» gree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient. PERTOBE, by "Augur," in the Australasian, Jane IStfe, 1878, says :—"I could fill the Australasia* with the doings of "Panic," and big descendants. As a sire of good, sound, aad useful stock he has never had. an equal im the Southern hemisphere. His victory in the Launce3ton Champion Race, and tie style in which he carried 10st. into second place in the Melbourne Cup, were perform, ances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy the most exacting that he was a racehorse of m mean order. The soundness of his stock haa become a proverb on the Australian Tu»f, and the ancient Strop who won a race ~*" Launceston in February, is a living examp] Few horses have gone through such an 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 cros3 country horses, too numerous to mention, are also descendants of the aoa e Alarm." Terms: L 5 53, payable Isi of January, 1579.
