IN THE PAPAKAIO AND WAIAREKA DISTRICTS, And will stand at J. Henderson's Windmill, Xhe fashionably - bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horse P E R T 0 B E, Eminently suited for getting Hunters, Handsome Weight-carrying Haoks, and Horses suitable for the Indian Market. PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Viotoria, in 1869. Got by Panic (imported); his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Mias Napier, by Delaprd (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported). S«e Victorian Stud Booh, Vol. 11., p. 47. Panic was imported from England to' Tasmania, and put to the stud at 3 yra. 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 ne had two more seasons' traiuing and racing. He proved himself the best English horse ever trained in Australia. He ran remarkably well, and won several raoes, carrying heavy woights j 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 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 in much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there is n combination of some excellent strains of blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, in that famous line throug'h Defence, and which comes to him on tlie 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, tho powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, most excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. Thej value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not alonoi as to its being speedy and staying, but also to its 'training on,' and being essentially a ' running strainfor although some others occasionally produce one or two first-class animals, few, if any, can compote 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 of tho dam of Pertobe there is a lot oj! good blood coming in through The Pre. mier, whose grandsiro, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (tho dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class racer, bub also as tho maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminsters). The Delaprd blood is also very good indeed. Delaprd'a dam, Fortress, by Defence, was ( tho dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pbrtobb, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood W good, he being by Wanderer, by (Johanna, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Ta&n!kania, act much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that thoy say "a bad one. by Wanderer wjw never known," and if they can trace a pedii gree to a Wanderer mare, they conaidor thqft quite sufficient.
