TO TRAVEL THIS til SEASON IN TUB PAPAKAIO, WAIARKKA, AND KARANUI DISTRICTS, The fashionably - bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horse PE R T O B E, Eminently suited for getting Hunters, Handsome Weight-carrying Hacks, and Horses suitable for the Indian Market. PEUTOKE 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 Glrazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by DelaprtS (imported); Miss Napier's dam, Airs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported).—Sm Victorian Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. Ift. Panic was imported 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. lie 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 lirstclass Englis'i racehorse Alarm, "he wasnever 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 lias not been favored by many first-class mares, he has got more winner© out of half-bred ones than any horse in Victoria, and for general purposes his stock is much esteemed. In the breeding of PKRTOBE there is. a combination of some excellent strains of blood, such us the Waxy-Whalebone, in that famous liue through Defence, and which comes to him on the sides of both sire and dam. On his siro Panic's sida 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. ' running strain for although some others occasionally produce one or two first-class animals, few, if any, can compete with Pantaioou a.s to numbers. A very grand recommendation of this strain of blood is, that it mixes successfully with, and improves, all others." Thus writes Gopperthwaite, and other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On the side of the dam of Pektobe there is a lot of good blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossaii mare (the dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class racer, but also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminsters). The Delapr6 blood is also very good indeed. DelapriS's dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pektobe, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is good, ho being by Wanderer, by Gohanna, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, bo much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer was never kuown," and if they can trace a pedigree to a "Wand.-rer mare, they consider that quite suilicieut.
