STALLIONS STAND THIS SEASON IN THE OAMARU DISTEICT, ANtl AT MR. PATEK SOS'S PRIVATE RESIDENCE, • OAJIAUU, The Fashionably-bred and very Superior Thoroughbred Horse P E R" T 0 B E, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in 1869. By Panic (imported) out of Hester Grazebrook, by the Prenver (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 dark bay horse, 7 .years old, standing 15 hands 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 Fantaloon 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 furni-hed 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-da-s animals," still, few can compete with that in question as to number. For high breeding, good true racing action, honesty and ganieness, whh speed of remarkable brilliancy, Pkrtobk has no equal, and Thoroughbred Mares put to him should breed good racehorses. PERTOBE, by "Augur," writing in the Australasian of the 4th of August last, says : " Several more thoroughbred '-ires have been advertised, and, if placed according to 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, Is 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 iqwal. Nimllefoot, Strop, Melbourne, Adelaide, and others, have placed many a good flat race to h:s credit; Prodigious, Lone Hand, Saucepan, Quicksilver, and many others, have shown us what his descendants are capable of over a country ; and fur genei al purposes they are unsurpassed, as they inherit all their sire"s soundness of wind and limb. Mr. 'fait 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."
