TO TRAVEL THIS SEASON IN THE PAPAKAIO, WAIAREKA, AND KAKANUI DISTRICTS, If sufficient inducement offert, The Fashionably-bred and very Superior Thoroughbred Horse PERTOBE, eminently suited for getting Huntert, Handsome Weight • carrying Hacks, and Hones suitable for the Indian market. PERTOBE « a beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing 1G hands high. Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in 1869. Got by Panic (imported) ; his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by the Premier (imported), o-jt of Mias Napier, by Delapr* (imported) ; Miss NapierV dam Mm Roberts, by Wanderer (impor %&).— See Victorian Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. 47. Panic was imported from England to Totmania, and put to the stud at 3 yra. old. He wai trained and raced at 4, and again put to the stud. When he was 6 yra old, he was purchased at a high price, and imported to Victoria, where he had two more seasons 1 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 racehone Alarm, "he 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-way place, he has not been favored by many first-class mares, ho has got more winnen out of half-bred ones than any horse in Victoria, and for general purposes his stock is 1 much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE thert 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 sire Panic's side there is, as well as his good Defence blood, that of the game and stout Venison, the powerful and speedy Mell>ourne, and, most excelleut of all, that of Pantaloon. " The value of the Pautaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not alone as to its being speedy and staying, but also to its " training on, and being etsentially a 11 running strain " ; for although someothen occasionally produce one or two first-class animals, few, if any, can compete with Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand recommendation of this strain of blood is that it mixes successfully with, and improves, all othen." Thus writes Copperthwaite, and other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On the side of the dam of Pertobb there is a lot of good blood coining in through The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (the dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a fint-closs racer, but also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehones at the present time, viz., the Newminsten). The Delapre blood is also very good indeed. DelapriS's dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the Fint. Mrs Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pebtouk, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer'B blood is good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanna, >y Murcury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, so much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer vas never known," and if they can trace a ixjdigr«« to a Wanderer maro, they consider that quit* sufficient. * PERTOBE, by •8 I <rs. | _^ r? % o g> £ SK ff 2 1 iswr * si tf ft If pjihiu rMi W\l iO l * !} n*sl s f * I r *$*•: I * * list « f f tSg'2os !> "Augur," in th« "Australasian," June 15th, 1878, says :— "I could fill the "Australasian" with the doings of Panic and his descendants. As a sire of good, sound, and useful stock, he has never had an equal in the Southern hemisphere. His victory in the Launceston Champion Raco, and the style in .which ho carried lOst. into second place in the Melbourne Cup, were performances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy the most exacting that he was a racehorse of no mean erder. 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 living example. Few horses have gone through such an ordeal as Melbourne, another son, at present performing in Queensland. The greatest of all ktceplechasen is undoubtedly Lone Hand, and he 4s also a son of Panic. Postboy, Postman, Prodigious, and many other good cross oountry horses, too numerous to mention, are also descendants of the son of Alarm." Tkrbis.— £s 5», payable Ist of January, 1879.
