THIS flf IN THE PAPAKAIO, WAIARWKA, AND KAKANUI DISTRICTS, If sufficient inducement offers, Die fashionably - bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horse PE R T O B Eminently suited for getting Hunters, Handsome Weight-carrying Hacks, and Horses suitable for the Indian Market. PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing lfi hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in, ISG9. Got by Panic (imported); his dam, ILcstor Grazcbrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapre (imported); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts,, by Wanderer (imported). See Victorian Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. Jpt. Panic was ira. ported from England to Tasmania, and put to the stud at 3 yrs. old. Ho was trained and raced at 4, and again put to tho stud. When he was 6 yrs. old, he wa3 purchased at a high price and imported to Victoria, where he had two more seasons' training and racing. He proved himself tho best English horso ever trained in Australia, He ran remarkably well, and won several races, carrying heavy weights ; ho was both speedy and staying, of a most docile and quiet teinpor, 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 first-class mares, he has got more winners out of half-bred ones than any horse iu Victoria, and for general purposes his stock is, much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there is n combination L 'of some excellent strains of blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, in. that famous line through Defence, aui which comes to him on the sides of kotk sire and dam. On hia sire Panic's sidethere is, as well as his good DefeDcc blood, that of the game and stout Venison, tk 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, ' running strain ;' for although some others occasionally produce ono 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, that it mixes successfully with, and improves, all others." Thus writes Oopperthwaite, and other good turf authorities agree with liim to the same effect. On the side of the dam of Pertobe there is a Jot of 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 as a first-class racer, l)rf also as the maternal ancestress of EnglaniV very best family of racehorses at the present, time, viz., the Newmiusters). The Delapre". blood is also very good indeed. Dc\apriss. dam, Fortress, by Defence, was tho dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. Roberts, the great graud-dain of Pkrtobf,. was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is, good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanna,, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, so. much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer TO never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider thai quite sufficient. PERTOBE, by "Augur," in the Australasian, June I3w» 1573, says :—" I could fill the Australa" 311 with the doings of " Panic," and liis descendants. As a siyo of good, sound, &* useful stock he laas never had an equal W tho Southern hemisphere. His victory '? the Lauuceston Champion Race, and tw style in which he carried 10at. into second place in the Melbourne Cup, were performances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy tw most exacting that he was a racehorse ej flfl mean order. The soundness of his sto<& W become a proverb on the Australian W> and the ancient Strop who won a; race* Launcestou in February, is a living exaujpj Few horse's have gone through such an ordeM as Melbourne, another son at present P<*? forming at Queensland. The greatest of W steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone and he is also a son of Panic. Postboy. Postman, Prodigious, and many other g°flfl cross country horses, too numerous to »«** t-ion, are also descendants of the so" Alarm."' „„, Terms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of {f B S I 1879.
