JOHN DONALDSON, Proprietor, Burnbank. TO TRAVEL IN THE 'APAKAIO, WAIAREKA, AND KAKA. NUI DISTRICTS, If sufficient inducement offers, :he fashionably - bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horse PE R T 0 B Eminently suited for getting Hunters, landsome Weight-carrying Hacks, and lorses suitable for the Indian Market. PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown stallion, standing 16 bands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in 869. Got by Panic (imported); his dam, tester Grazebrook, by The Premier (im. sorted), out of Miss Napier, by DelapriS (itn-j ported); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, :>y Wanderer (imported). See Victorian' Stud Booh, Vol. 11, p. W- Panic was im. aorted from England to Tasmania, and put io the stud at 3 yrs. old. He was trained ind 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 best 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, Borry, 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 first-class mares, he has got more winners out of half-bred ones than any horse in Victoria, and for general purposes his stock it much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there is a combination got some excellent strains of blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, in that famous line through Defence, and which cornea 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, the powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, most excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. "The value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not alone as to its being speedy and staying, but also to its 'training on,' and being essentially a ' runniu" strain ;' for although some others occasionally produce one or two iirst-class animals, few, if any, can compete into Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand recommendation of this strain of blood*, W it mixes successfully with, and improves, all others " Thus writes Copperthwav»i uaft. other good turf authorities agree with torn to the same effect. On the side of the dam of 'Pjsrtobe there is a lot ot good blood coming in through lhe Wefnier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (the dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class racer hut also as the maternal ancestress of Lnglanas very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminsters). The> Delaprf blood is also very good indeed. Delapres dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the darnel the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs, Roberts, the great grand-dam of }f™\ was bv Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood u .rood he being by Wanderer, by Gohanna, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, so much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they sav "a bad one by WandererW never knowi," and if they can trace »w* gree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient. 1 PERTOBE, by i °32 o- Off. vg $ m " Augur," in the Australasian, June 1* IS7S, says :—" I could fill the Australas* with the doings of "Panic," and his 4 ] cendants.
