T O TEA V EL THIS Bfl 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, anA Horses suitable for the Indian Market. PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in 1869. Got by Panic (imported); hie dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by .Delapr£ (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mra. Roberts, by ' Wanderer (imported). See Victorian Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. 47. Panio 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, ho was purchased at a high price and imported to Victoria, where he had two moro 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 ; he was both speedy and staying, of a most docile and quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Like his sire, that firstclass English racehorse Alarm, "he waa never Bick, 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 Victoria, and for general purposes his stook is much esteemed.

In the breeding of PERTOBE there i 8 a combination of some excellent strains of blood, such aa 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 side 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. " Tho value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not alouft as to its being speedy and staying, but alsa to its 'trainiug on,' and being essentially a ' running strain for although some otherq occasionally produce one or two iirst-clasa animals, few, if any, oan compete with Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand ro« commendation of this strain of blooa is, that it mixes successfully with, and improves, all others." Thus writes Copperthwaito, and other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On the side o| the dam of Pertobe there is a lot oi good blood coming in through Thai Pre* mier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was l>y Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (th«j 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 Dalaprd blood is also very good indeed. DelapriS'a dam, Fortress, by Defence, was- the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mra. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pertobh, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood ia 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 was never known," aud if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient.

"Augur," in fcho Australasian, Jun« 15th IS7B, says :—" I oould fill th* Australasian with the doings of " Panic," and his des< cendants. As a siro of good, sound, and useful stock he has never had an equal in the Southern hemisphere. His victory in the Launceston Champion Race, and tho style in which he carried lOst. into second place in the. Melbourne Cup, were performances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy tho most exacting that he was a raoehorse 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 suoh an ordeal as Melbourne, another son at present pari forming at Queensland. The greatest of all steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Hand, and ho is also a son of Panic. Postboy, Postman, Prodigious, and many other gooa cross country horses, too numerous to men* tion, are also descendants of the son of Alarm." Terms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of January. 1880.
