TO TRAVEL IN 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 Hunters, 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 Delapre' (im. ported); Misa Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported). See Victorian Stud Book, Vol. 11, p. 47. Panic was im. ported from England to Tasmania, and pat to the stud at 3 yra. 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 t.o 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 both speedy and. staying, o£ a most docile and quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Like his sire, that first, class 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 tirst-class mares, ho has got more winnen out of half-bred ones than any horae in Vio. toria, and for general purposes his stock it much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there is » combination of some excellent strains ol blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebono, in that famous lino through Defenoe, a,fid which comes to him on the sides of hatli sire and dam. On his sire Pan;o x a side there is, as well as his good Defenoo blood, that of the game and. stout Venison, thi powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, most excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. "Tin value of the Pantaloon blood is undeni&bk, having furnished so many proofs, not alow as to its being speedy and staying, but alao to its ' training on,' and being essentially t ' running strain ;' for although some othen occasionally produce one or two first-clw animals, few, if any, can compete wW Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand k commendation of this strain of blood is, ut it mixes successfully with, and improves, ij others." Thus writes Copperthwaito, afflj other good turf authorities agree withta? to the same effect. On the side* 1 the dam of Pertobe there is a lail good blood coming in through The Pit finer, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was k Jerry, out of the Ardrossan (Q dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrate not only as a first-class racor, tn also as the maternal ancestress of Englanj very bost family of racehorses at the proier™ time, viz., the Newminsters). The Delay blood is also very good indeed, ttelaprfi dam, Fortress, by Defence, was, the dam* the Derby winner, Pyrrh\isthe First. M» Roberts, the great gran.d,-dam of Pebtoi was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood good, he being by Wanderer, by Golpii by Mercury, by Eclipse. Jn Tasmania, much 13 the Wanderer blood thought ( that they say " a bad one by Wanderer w never known," and if they can trace a pa gree to a Wanderer mare, they consider tl quite sufficient. PERTOBE, by "Augur," in the Australasian, Junel IS7B, says :—" I could fill the Austrd with the doings of " Panic," and bis condants. As a sire of good, sound, useful stock he has never had an cq«' the Southern hemisphere. His victojl the Launceston Champion Race, and style in which he carried lOst. into 8* place in the Melbourne Cup, were perfj ances of merit, and sufficient to satisfjj most exacting that ho was a racekorsM mean order. The soundness of his ato* become a proverb on the Australia! l and the ancient Strop who won a i* Launceston in February, is a living ex* Few horses have gone through such an' as Melbourne, another son at present forming at Queensland. The greatest' steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone » and he is also a son of Panic.
