EDWARD DEVINE, 6 „ Proprietors, TO TRAVEL THIS MJ SEASON IN THE PAPAKAIO AND WAIAREKA DISTRICTS, And will stand at J. Henderson's WlndmilL The fashionably - bred and very superior ; Thorough-bred Horse PERT O B g 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 (i m ! ported), out of Miss Napier, by Delaprd (im. Eorted); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberta, y Wanderer (imported).—See Victoria Stud, Booh, Vol. 11., p. Ift. 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, he was purchased; at ahigh 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 sover*l races, carrying heavy weights; he was lwth speedy and staying, of a most dooile and quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Like his sire, that, first* class English racehorse Alarm, "ha was never sick, sorry, or lame, " and retired from the turf without a blemish. At the stud, although from being in an out-of-the-iypy ilace, he has not been favored by many irst-class mares, he has got more winners out of half-bred ones than any horse in Victoria, and for general purposes his stook it much esteemed; In the breeding of PERTOBE there ia a. combination of some excellent strains of; blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, im 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, a3 well as his good Defenoa blood, that of the game and stout Venison, the powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, most excellent of all, that of Pantaloon, "Tho value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable,, having furnished so many not alonoi as to its being speedy and staging, but alsoi to its 'training on,' and being essentially ft ' running strainfor although some ofcnora occasionally produce one or two first-claw animals, few, if any, can compete with Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand ro. commendation of this strain of blood ia, that it mixes successfully with, and improves, til others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, and other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On the side of the dam of Pertobh- there is a lot' ot good blood coming in through The Pre* mier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, waa bp Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (tha 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 preßenk time, viz., the Newminsters). The Dalaprd blood is also very good indeed. Delaprds dam, Fortress, by Defenoe, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs,. Roberts, the' great grand-dam of Pertobi, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood ia good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanna,, 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, PERTOBE, by 1" j||| 1 "Augur," in the Australasian, June 15th 1878, says «I could fill the with the doings of "Panio," and his cendants. As a siro of good, sound, am* useful stock he has never had an equal the Southern hemisphere, His victory. the . Launceston Champion Race, an* style in which he carried 10st. into sett® place in the Melbourne CHp, were pen ances of merit, and sufficient to satißry most exacting that he was a racehorse mean order. The soundness of kaatooit n» become a proverb on the Australian and the ancient Strop who won a raw Launceston in February, is a living examj) Few horses have goniß through such an as Melbourne, another son Q] forming at Queensland. The greatea steeplechasers is undoubtedly .L 011 ®. - and he is also a son of Panic.
