TO TRAVEL IN THE PAPAKAIO, WAIAREKA, AND KAKANUI DISTRICTS, If sufficient inducement offers, The fashionably - bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horse PE It T OB 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 (im. ported), out of Miss Napier, by Dclapre (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, Wheu 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 ; ho 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 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 Vic. toria, and for general purposes his stock ia much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there is a combination fof some excellent strains of blood, such "as the Waxy-Whalebone, in that famous line through Defence, and which comes to him on the sides of both sire and dam. On his tiro 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, moat 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 one 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 Copperthwaite, and other good turf authorities -agree with him to the same effect. On the side ol the dam of Pertobe there is a lot of food blood coming in through The Pxe-. mier, whose grandsirc, Tomboy, was by, Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (the dam of the mare Beeswing, cGlcbratcdj not only as a first-class saccr, but also as the maternal ancestress of England 8, very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminstcrs), The Dalaprfi blood is also very good indeed. dam, Fortress, by Defence, was tho dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs, Roberts, the great grand-dam of was by Wanderer, and Wanderer s blood is (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 Wanderer was never known," and if they can traco a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient. PERTOBE, by O • -~ 7 P "Augur," in the Australasian, June Iswi 1878, says :—" I could fill the Australasia with the doings of "Panic," and bis deecendants. As a sire of good, sound, W» useful stock he has never had an equal i" the Southern hemisphere. His victory >» the Launceston Champion Race, and ttw style in which he carried lOst. into seconn place in the Melbourne Cup, were P er^or ?' »nces of merit, and sufficient to satisfy ">' ost exacting that he was a racehorse of W mean order. The soundness of his s to°Jj, l1 j become a proverb on the Australian Tuft and the ancient Strop who won a race» Launceston in February, is a living exafflTj Few horses have gone through such an orae* as Melbourne, another son at present P»j forming at Queensland.
