- STALLIONS O STAND THIS SEASON MR. PATETfSOVS PKIVATE RESIDENCE, OAMAKU, The Fashionably bred and very Superior Thoroughbred Horse P E R T 0 B E, Bred by H. Philips, Esq., Victoria, in 1869. By Panic (imported) out of Hester Grazebrook, by the Premer (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. Pertoße is a daik bay liorse, 7 years old, standing 15 bauds 3 inches high, with great length, 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 P,iiitaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not alcne as to speed and staving, but also as a running strain, for although some others occasionally produce one or two first-cla-s anima's, still, few can compete with that in question as to number. For high breeding, good true racing action, honesty and ganieness, with speed of remarkable brilliancy, Pkrtobk ha* no equal, and Thoroughbred Mares put to hi.n should breed good racehorses. •' Augur," writing in the Australasian of the 4th of August last, says " Several more thoroughbred "ires have been advertised, and, if placed according to mer.t, 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 s-o, the question arises, Is he not the most valuable 1 He may not have produced such brilliant horses a-; some of pur crack sires, but for the pi oductii n of every description, he has no ( q"al. Nimblefoot, Strop, Melbourne, Adelaide, and others, have placed many a good flat race to his' credit; Prodigious, Lone Hand, Saucepan, Quicksilver, and many others, have shown us what his descendants are capable of over a country ; and for genei al purposes they are unsurpassed, as they inherit all their sire's soundness of wind and limb. Mr. 'l'ait 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 patronage from breeders."
