TO TRAVEL IN THE PAPAKAIO, WAIAREKA, AND KARANUI DISTRICTS, If sufficient inducement offers, The fashionably - bred and very superior I Thorough-bred Horse t E R T OB a 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 1569. Got by Panic (imported); his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delaprd (im. ported); Miss 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 put 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 beat 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 first, class English racehorse Alarm, "he was never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired from the turf without a blemish. At the Btud, 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 Vic. toria, and for general purposes his stock u much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there ia» combination 6 of some excellent strains ol 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 sire Panic's Bids there is, as well as his good Defence blood, that of the game and stout Venison, the powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, mosl excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. "Tit value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not alone as to its being speedy and staying, but alss to its ' training on,' and being essentially s ' running strain ;' for although some others occasionally jiroduee one or two iirst-claa aninuvls, few, if any, can compote witl Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand recommendation of this strain of blood is, that it mixes successfully with, and improves, all others." Thus writes Copperthwai'tc, and other good turf authorities agree with torn to the same effect. On the side of the dam of Pebtobb there is a lot of wood blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was 1; Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (tit dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class racer, bat •also as the maternal ancestress of England'i very best family of racehorses at the press) time, viz., the Newminsters). Tlio Delapr/ blood is also very good indeed. Delaprfi dam, Fortresa, by Defence, was the damo! the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mr Koberts, the great grand-dam of Pertode, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood» good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohaunr by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, I much is the Wanderer blood thought o! that they say "a bad one by Wanderer in never known," and if they can trace a pet gree to a Wanderer mare, they consider til quite sufficient. PERTOBE, by "Augur," in bhe Australasian, JunoI ; 1878, says :—" I could fill the Austral* with the doiDgs of "Panic," ami l* 1 cendants.
