TO TRAVEL THIS SEASON IN THS! PAPAKAIO, WAIAREKA, AND KAKANUI DIBTRICTS, If sufficient inducement offers, Ihe Fashionably-bred and very Superior Thoroughbred Horse PERTOBE, eminently suited for getting Hunters, Handsome Weight • carrying Haekn, and Horses suitable lor the Indian marke PERTOBE is a oeautiful dappl* orown Stallion, standing 16 hands high. Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in 1869. Got by Panic (imported) ; his dam, He«ter Grasebrook, by the Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Dalapre 1 (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam Mrs Robert*, by Wanderer (imported). — See Victorian Stud ' Book, Vol. 11., p. 47. Panic was imported 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 a high price, and imported to Victoria, where he had two more seasons' training and racing. Ho proved himself the best English horse ever trained in Australia. He ran remarkably well, and won several races, carrying heavy weight* ; 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 racehorse 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, be has got more winners out of half-bred ones than any horse in Victoria, and for general purposes his stock is much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there is a combination of some excellent strains of blood, such as the Waxy- Whalebone, in that fameus line through Defence, and which comes to him on the sides of both ■ire and dam. On hi* sire Panic* side there is, as well as hi* good Defence blood, that of the game and stout Venison, the powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, most excellent of all, that of Pantftloon. " The value of the Pantaloon 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 essentially a " running strain " ; for although some others occasionally produce one or two first-class animal*, few, if any, can compete with Pantaloon a* to numbers. A very grand re- . commendation 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 aide of the dam ef Pkktobe there i* a lot of good blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mar* (the 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 present time, viz., the Newmiusters). The Delapre blood is also very good indeed. Delanrt's d*m, (Fortress, by Defence, was the danS of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pertobe, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanna, by Murcury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, *o much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer was never known," and if they can traos a pedigree to a Wanderer more, they consider that quite sufficient.

lf«r i "Augur," in the " Australasian," June 15th, 1878, says :— "I could fill Che "Australasian" with,, ths doings of Panic and hir descendants. As a sire of good, sound, and uieful stock, he ban never had an equal in the Southern hemisphere. His victory in the Launceston Champion Race, and the style in which he carried 10»t. 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 order. The soundness of his stock has become a proverb on the Australian Turf, and tho ancient Strop, who won a race at Launceston in February, i* a living example. Few horses have gone through ahen an ordeaf as Melbourne, another son, at present performing in 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 crocs country horses, too numerous to mention, are also descendants of the son of Alarm." Terms. — £5 ss, payable Ist of January, 1879.
