EDWARD DEVINE, 6 Proprietors, TO TRAVEL THIS Iff tPWJ SEASON IN TOE PAPAKAIO AND WAIAREKA DISTRICTS, And will stand at J. Hkndhrson'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 browa Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Viotoria, in 1869. Got by Panic (imported); his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by Tho Premier (im. ported), out of Miss Napier, by DelapriS (im. ported); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roborts, by Wanderer (imported).—See Victoria Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. 4-7. Panio was im. ported from England to Tasmania, and put to the stud at 3 yrs. old. Ho was trainod and raced at 4, and again put to tho stud. When he was 6 yrs. 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 beat English horse ever trained in Australia, He ran remarkably well, and won so vera! races, carrying heavy weights ; ho was both speedy and staying, of a most docilo and quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Like his sire, that lirstclass English racehorse Alarm, "ho 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 winnorg out of half-bred ones than any horse in Vio. toria, and for general purposes his stook is much esteemed.

In the breeding of PERTOBE there is a combination of some excellent strains of blood, such as the Waxy-Whalcbono, 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, moat excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. " Tho value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not alouo as to its being speedy and staying, but also to its 'training on,' and being essentially a ' running strain for although some otliora occasionally produce one or two first-clasa animals, few, if any, can compete with Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand recommendation of this strain of blood ia, that it mixes successfully with, and improves, all others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, aui\ other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On the side oi the dam of Pertobe there is a lot of good blood coming ia through The Premier, whose granasire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (tho dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only aa a first-class racer, but also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the -Newmiustera). The blood is also very good indeed, Delaprd'a dam, Fortress, by Defence, was tho dam o! the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrß. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Prrtobk, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanua, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, so much ia the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer wnsi never known," and if they can trace a podU gree to a Wanderer mare, they consider thofc quite sufficient.

B "Augur," in the Australasian, June 15th 1878, says :—" I could fill the Australasian with the doings of " Panic," and his dos« 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 the style in which he carried lOst. into seoond place in the Melbourne Cup, were perform* ances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy the most exacting that he was a racehorse of no mean order. The soundness of his stock hM 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 performing 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 mon« tion, are also descendants of the son of Alarm." Terms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of January# 1880.
