STALLIONS | rfM) STAND THIS SEASON IN THE OAMARU DISTRICT, AKD AT MR. PATERSON'S PRIVATE RESIDENCE, OAMAttU, The Fashionably-bred and very Superior Thoroughbred Horse P E R T O B E, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in 1869. By Panic (imported) out of Hester Grazebrook, by the Prem er (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapre (imported), out of Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported); Panic, by Alarm, out of Queen of Beauty, by Melbourne out of Birthday, by Pantaloon out of Honoria, by Camel, &c, &c. Pertobk is a daik bay horse, 7 years old, standing 15 hands 3 inches high, with great lepgth, substance, and quality, and was one of the fastest horses that ever raced in Victoria. The fact that he has got Pantaloon blood in his veins is a great recommendation, for it is questionable if better flows in any animal's; the very best runners and the grandest specimens of the thoroughbred are descended irom Pantaloon, whose blood cannot be excelled. . The value of Pantaloon blood .is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not alone as to speed and staying, but also as a running strain, for although some others occasionally produce one or two first-clas animals, still, few can compete with that in question as to number. For high breeding, good true racing action, honesty and gameness, with sueed of remarkable brilliancy, P£b.tobk ha< no equal, and Thoroughbred Mares put to hLn should breed good racehorses. PERTOEE, by S l " +> O " St S 3 _J 8-3 S.^ "Augur," writing in the Australasian of the 4th of August last, says : " Several more thoroughbred °ires have been advertised, and, if placed according to merit, Panic certainly deserves the premier position, for there can be no disputing that he is the most useful of all the sires in Australia ; and being so, the question arises, I* he-not the most valuable ? He may not have produced such brilliant horses as some of our crack sires, but for the production of every description, he has no cqnal. Nimblefoot, Strop, Melbourne, Adelaide, and others, have placed many a good flat race to his credit; Prodigious, Lone Hand, Saucepan, Quicksilyer, and many others, have shown us what his descendants are capable of over a country ; and for general purposes they are unsurpassed, as tbey inherit all their sire's soundness of wind and limb. Mr. Tait has often told me that the best constitutioned horse he ever owned was Melbourne ; and this being one of the chief characteristics of Panic's stock, he is well worthy of liberal patrpnage from breeders."
