EDWARD DEVINE, 6 Proprietor!, T~O TRAVEL THIS OT SEASON IN THE' PAPAKAIO AND WAIAREKA DISTRICTS, And will stand at J. Henderson's Windmill The fashionably - bred and l very superior Thorough-bred Horse PE 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., Victoria, in 1869. Got by Panic (imoorted); his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (im. ported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapr6 (im. ported); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported). See Victoria, Stud Boole, Vol. 11., p: 4-7. Panio was im. ported 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 purohasei 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; ho was both speedy and staying, of a most docile and quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Like his sire, that first* class English racehorse Alarm, "he was never Bick, sorry, or lame," and retired from the turf without a blemish. At tho stud, although from being in an out-of-the-way place, he has not been favored by many iirst-class mares, he has got more winnersi out of half-bred ones than any horse in Victoria, and for general purposes his stock ia much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there is< a combination of some excellent strains of blood, such as the Waxy- Whalebone, in that famous line through Defence, and which comes to him on the sides of both sire and dam. On his aire Panio'a side, there is, as well as his good D«fenoe blood,, that of : the game and stout Venison, tho powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, most excellent of all, that of Pantaloon, " Tha value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable], having furnished so many proofs, not alone r , as to its being speedy and staying, but ».'BU to its 'training on,' and being essentially a • running strain for although some others occasionally produce one or two first-class animals, few, if any, oan compote with. Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand re. commendation of this strain of blood is, thai' it mixes successfully with, and improves, alt others." Thus writes Copperthwaite,, iiid; other good turf authorities agree with' hitih to the same effect. On the side of the dam of Pertobe there is 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, celobratod 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 Newminsterß). The DelapnJj blood is also very good indeed. Delapttfs, dam, Portress, by Defence, was tho dam off the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pkp.tojje, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's hlood is good, he being by Wanderer, by (Johanna, 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," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient.

"Augur," in the Australasian, Jane 15th - 1878, says I could fill the Australasian nP with the doings of "Panic,"and his de&n! cendants.

Race, aitfr t> style in which he into seoona ' ' place in tne' 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 h«* 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 Panio. Postboy Postman, Prodigious, and many other good cross country hbrses, too numerous to men* tion, are also descendants of the son of Alarm." Terms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of January* 1880.
