TO TEAYEI THIS « SEASON IN THE PAPAKAIO AND WAIAREKA DISTRICTS, : And will stand at J. Henderson's Windmill, The fashionably-bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horse PER T O B E, Eminently suited for getting Hunters, Handsome Weight-carrying; Hacks, and Horses suitable for the Indian Market. PERTOBE . is a beautiful dapple browia Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in 1869. Got by Panic (imported); his dam„ Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delaprg (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts; by Wanderer (imported). See Victorian Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. ifl. • Panic was imported from England to Tasmania, and puis 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 tp Victoria* where he had two more seasons' training and racing. He proved himself the'beat English horse ever trained in Australia. He ran remarkably well, and won' several races, carrying heavy Weights ; he wa3 both speedy and staying, of a most docile and quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Like his sire, that firsts 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 Yiof toria, and for general purposes his stock i» much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE thor® is ft combination of some excellent strains of blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, im that famous line through Defence, and which comes to him on the sides of .both sire and dam. On his sire Panic's aid® there is, as well as his good Defence blood, that of the game and stout Venison, tha powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, mosfe 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-clasa animals, few, if any, can compete with Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand re* commendation of this strain of is, thait it mixes successfully with, and improves, alii others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, audi other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On the side o£ the . dam of Pertobe there is a lot off 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, but also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminsters). The Delapr& blood is also very good indeed. dam, Fortress, by Defence,wwats t - the dtwa oS' the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the-'First. Mrs.. Roberts, the great grand-dam of PaOJWOBE,, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood ia good, he being by Wanderer, by by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, bo, much is the Wanderer blood thought of,, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer was never known," and if they can trace apedi*. gree to a Wanderer mare, they consider thaft quite sufficient.

As a sire of good, sound, and useful stock he has never had an equal in the Southern hemisphere. His riotory in the Launceston Champion Race, and tho style in which h«s carried lOst. into second place in the Melbourne Cup, were performances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy the 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 an ordeal as Melbourne, another son at present per« forming at Queensland. The greatest of all steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Hand, and he is also a son of Panic. Postboy, Postman, Prodigious, and many other good cross country horses, too numerous to men* tion, are also descendants of the ion of Alarm." Terms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of January, 1880.
