IN THE PAPAKAIO AND WAIAREKA DISTRICTS, And will stand at J. Henderson's Windmill, 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. PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown 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 Delapr<s (imported) j Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported). See Victorian Stud Booh, Vol. 11., p. 4?' 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 otud. When he was 6 yra. old, he was purchased at a high price and imported to Victoria, where he had two more 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, "ha 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 Elace, he has not been favored by many rst-elasß mares, he has got more winners out of half-bred ones than any horse in Victoria, and for general purposes his stock ia muoh esteemed.

In the breeding of PERTOBE thoro is a combination of some excellent strains of blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, in that famous line through Defence, and which conies to him on the sides of both sire and dam. On his sire Panic's aide there is,' as well as his good, Dafenoe blood, that of the game and stout Venison, the powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, moßfc excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. "Tho value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not along 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 firat-olaag 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, aud improves, all others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, and other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On the aide of the dam of Pertobe there is a lot of good blood coming in through The Premier, whose graudsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardvossan 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 Qalsy>?4 blood is also very good in,c(e£cl, X)ela,t>r4'q dam, Fortress, by Defense, was, the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the first. Mi'Si Roberta, groat of PkrtoWi was by Wanderer, aud Wanderer's blood ia good, he being by Wanderer, by Gokanna, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, so much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer wai never known," and if they can trade a pedi' gree to a Wanderer mar they that quite sufijcieotj, PERTOBE, by 3 S- ® ijlg'g-r | ■ Jfj?

witn tne doings ot " l ame, and his descendants. As a siro of good, sound, and useful stock he has never had an equal iu the. Southern hemisphere. His victory io the Launceston Champion RaeQ> and the style in which ho carded 10st. into aeooud place in the Melhourne Cup, were perform* ances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy tha 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 li ring example, Few horses have gone through such an arqpft) as Melbourne, another son at pqr» forming at Thp greatest qf j*lj steeplechasers ig undoubtedly Lone -Eland, and be ig also » son of Panic.
