E,' Eminently suited for'getting Hunters, Handsome • Weight-carrying Hacks,' "and Horses suitable for the Indian Market PERTOBE ,ia a.beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing! 16 hands high, Bred, by H! Phillips, Victoria, in. 1869. Got by Panio (imported) ;, his. dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Prejriier fimported), out of Miss by Delaprf (im<ported); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts,, by Wanderer' (imported), —: Ste Victorians Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. 47. Psnio 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 Btiud.. When he was 6 yrs. old, he was purobasedl at a high price, and imported to t Vibtoria,. where he had two more'' seasons', training,' and racing. Ho proved' himself the beat. English horse ever trained,,in Australia.,. He ran remarkably well, and won several! ' heavy weights; he was. bothi speedy and staying, of, a,most dooii* and! quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution*, and legs like iron. ' Like his sire, that first* | class English., racehorse Alarm,. M, be waii never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired!fromi 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/ ' nrst-clasß mares, he has got more winners out of half-bred ones than any horse id Victoria, and for general purposes his stock is In the of PERTOBE there la * combination of 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 sire Panic's sidethere is, as well as, his good Defence bloo& that of the game and stout Venison, tho« powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, most,' excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. '*'Th<>> value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, haying furnished so many proofs, not aloneis to its being'speedy and staying, but aIBO-' to.its.'rtraining on,' and being essentially a. ' running strain;' for although some others occasionally produce one or two firat-clas* animals, few, if any, can • compete with. Pantalodh as to numbers. A very grand recommendation of this strain of blood is, that it mixes successfully with, and improves, all others." Thuswhteß Gop'perthwaite, and. other good turf authorities agree with him. to the same effect. On the side <oC the dam of Pertobh there is a lot off good blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrbssan mare (thai > dam. of. the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class racer, bob also as the maternal ancestress of England's,, very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminsters). The Delaprtt blood is also'.very good indeed. DelapreV dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. '■ Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanpa, by Mercury, by Eclipse. : In Tasmania,, so much is the Wanderer! blood thought o£»> that they say "a bad one by Wanderer was !never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient.... PERTOBE, by '& t? tag g»<l tr, "Augur," in tneAuatedaaan, June 15th 1878, says :—"I could fill the Australasias with the- doings of . " Panic,'.' and hi* de*» cendants. As a sire of good, sound, and useful stock he has never had an equal in the Southern hemisphere. His viotory in the Launoeaton Champion Race, and th» style in which he carried 10at. into second place in the Melbourne Gup, were ■ perform* ances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy ths most exacting that he was a racehorse of no mean' order.:: The soundness of his stock has become a proverb on the Australian Turf, and the ancient Strop who won a race at Launceston in February, is a living example* Few horses have gone through such ah ordeal as Melbourne, another son at present per« forming at i Queensland. The greatest of aty steeplechasers is. undoubtedly Lone Hand, and he is also a son of Panio. Postboy. Postman, Prodigious, and many other good cross country horses, 1 too numerous to ■ men* tion,' are also, descendants of the son of Alarm." . .' Terms: LS ss, payable Ist of January, 1880.
