EDWARD DEVINE, 6 Proprietors, TO TRAVEL THIS ;§fj lpi|i SEASON IN THE PAPAKAIO AND WAIAREKA DISTRICTS, And -wjill stand at J. Henderson's Windmill The fashionably - bred and very soporioj Thorough-bred Horse PERT O B j Eminently suited for getting Hnnton' Handsome Weight-carrying Haoks, and Horses suitable for the Indian Mairkot. PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple bvowa Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by'H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in 1869. Got by Panio (imported); his dam Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (im'. ported),, out of Miss Napier, by DelaprtS (im. ported); Miss Napior's dam, Mrs. Itobortj by. Wanderer (imported). See Victoria! Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. 47~ Panic was in. ported from England to Tasmania, and pat to the stud at 3 yrs. old. Ho 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 Viotorin, 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 was both, speedy and staying, of a most dooile and, quiet temper, with a wondorful constitution,, and legs like iron. Like his sire, that first-, class English racehorse Alarm, "he wis never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired from the turf without a blemish. At the stud, although from being in an ,out-of-tho-w«y place, he has not been favored by many tirst-class mares, he has got more winner! out of half-bred ones than any horse in Viotoria, and for general purposes his stock ia much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there is t combination of some excellent strains of blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, in that famous line through Defenoe, and, which comes to him on the sides of both* sire and dam. On his sire Panio's Bidei there is, as well as his good Defence blood,, that of the game and stout Venison, vlioi powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, moat, excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. "Tho> value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniablo,, 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 strain for although some othersi occasionally produce one or two first-class animals, few, if any, can compete withi 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 side of the dam of Pertobk there ia a lot of good blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (the dam of the mare Beeswing, celobratoi not .only as a first-class racer, but. also as the maternal ancestress of England's, very best family of racehorses at the proaeni, time, viz., the Newminsters). The DelaprtS. blood is also very good indeed. Delayrd's, dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dain of) the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs., .Roberts, the great grand-dam of PkrtoJJK,, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood good, he b&ing by Wanderer, by Gohanna,, by Mercury, by Eclipse., In Tasmania, bo* much ia the Wanderer blood thought of,, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer was never known," and if they ban trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite Buffioient. PERTOBE, by O T (3 " Augur," in the Australasian, June 15th 1878, says'i—"l could fill the Australasian< with the'doings of " Panic/'and his des- • cendants. As _ a sir© of good, sound, mm ' useful stock he has never had an equal P 1 the Southern hemisphere. His viotory the Launcoston Champion Race, and the* style in whioh he carried TOst. into seoond' place in .the Melbourne Cup, were jjerformances of 'merit,' and su&eient to satisfy thffl most exacting that he was a racehorse efi nn> mean order. The soundness of his stock hoy become a proverb on the Australian and the ancient Strop w;ho won a. M®e *' Launcestbn in February, is a liviug,o»ainple. Few horses haye gone through sn&hi an ordeal as Melbourne; anothler son at gresent per*forming at Queensland. The.greatest of aUi steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Hansr and he is also a son of Panio. Postboy Postman, Prodigious, and many other good cross country horses, too humorous to wen* tion, are also descendants of the son ot Alftim*" Terms t L 5 ss, payable Ist of i ISBO.
