I H TO TRAVEL THIS m ' IN THE PAPAKAIO, WAIAREKA, AND KARA NUI DISTRICTS, If sufficient inducement offers, The fashionably - bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horse PE R T 0 B Eminently suited for getting Hunteri i Handsome Weight-carrying Hacks, and Horses suitable for the Indian Market. e " PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple bron, _ Stallion, standing 16 hands high, s ," Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, j, M 1569. Got by Panic (imported); his ds^ s Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (ia, , ported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapre' (j 6 ported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Robe^ by Wanderer (imported). See Victori 10 Stud Booh, Vol. 11., p. 47. Panic was in ported from England to Tasmania, and pa to the stud at 3 yrs. old. He was trains _ and raced at 4, and again put to the atai When he was 6 yrs. old, lie was purchase) at a high price and imported to Victorii, where he had two more seasons' training and racing. He proved himself the best English horse ever trained in Australii, He ran remarkably well, and won seven! races, carrying heavy weights ; he was botk j- speedy and staying, of a most docile anl quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Like his sire, that first '' class English racehorse Alarm, "he to s- never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired from the turf without a blemish. At the stud, 5 although from being in an out-of-the-wj )f place, he has not been favored by many A lirst-class mares, he has got more winner) '., out of half-bred ones than any horse in Vic. , toria, and for general purposes his stock ii much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there is i } combination ; ,,of some excellent strains of L blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, in that famous line through Defence, and t which comes to him on the sides of lioth f sire and dam. On his sire Panic's side e there is, as well as his good Defence blood, r that of the game and stout Venison, the i r powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, most f excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. "The 7 value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, ; having furnished so many proofs, not alone I e as to its being speedy and staying, but also I ~$ t,o its 'training on,'and being essentially il i ' running strain ;' for although some othenl 3 occasionally produce one or two iirst-clafl - animals, few, if any, can compete witl ' Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grands' » commendation of this strain of bloonHZ-tbst it mixes successfully with, and improves, all others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, aud ' other good turf authorities agree with him ' to the same effect. On the side oi ' the dam of Pertobe there is a lot of l good blood coming in through The Pre- ' mier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by i Jerry, out of the Ardrossan maro (the , dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a lirst-class racer, but 1 also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminsters). The Delaprf : blood is also very good indeed. Delaprft -■ dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Ma Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pkhtobi; was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood ii good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanrj, ' by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, fl much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer w ' never known," and if they can trace apedi' gree to a Wanderer mare, they consider thil quite sufficient. PERTOBE, by |.«< 3 o _. °3 ° & "Augur," in the Australasian, June 1$ 187S, says :—" I could fill the with the doings of "Panic," and his d* cendants. As a sire of good, sound, Y useful stock he has never had an equal f the Southern hemisphere. His victor/' the Launceston Champion Race, and**, style in which he carried 10st. into bc(* place in the Melbourne Cup, were ances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy l most exacting that he was a racehorse 9 mean order. The soundness of his stock» become a proverb on the Australian W™ and the ancient Strop who won a race launceston in r/eoruary, is a livingwtj Eew horses have gone through such an od as Melbourne, another son at present K forming at Queensland. The greatest o» , steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone n*° and he is also a son of Panic. P ost Jj Postman, Prodigious, and many other jrj cross country horses, too numerous to ( tion, are also descendants of the so Alarm." Terms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of 1879.
