STALLIONS T O TRA VE L THIS SEASOK PAPAKAIO, WAIAREKA, AND NUI DISTRICTS, If sufficient inducement offers, The fashionably - bred and very aapsriji Thorough-bred Hersa PE R T O B E Eminently suited for getting HuatsraJ Handsome Weight-carrying Hacks, aad Horses suitable for the Indiaa Market. PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple br&wa Stallion, standing 16 handa high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in 1869. Got by Panic (imported); his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (im. ported), out of Miss Napier, by DelapF6{im. ported); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts by Wanderer (imported). See Victoria?, Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. /fl. Panic was im. ported 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. 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 racehorse Alarm, "he was never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired from the tarf without a blemish. At the Btad, although from being in an out-of-ths-way place, he has not been favored by many first-class mares, he 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 t 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 aides of both sire and dam. On his sire Panic's side there is, a 9 well as his good Defence blood, that of the game and etout Venison, the powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, most excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. "Tha value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not alone as to its being speedy and staying, bnt also to its 'training on,' and being essentially a ' running strain for although some others 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 others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, and other good tnrf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On the aids oi the dam of Pertobe there is a lot of good blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (the dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated } uot only as a> first-class racer, but ' also as the maternal ancestress of England' 3 very best family of racehorses at th« preaeat time, viz., the Newminsters). The DelaprS blood is also very good indeed. Delapr6'a dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam o£ the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pebtobb. was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood ii) good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanns, by Mercury, by Eclipse. la Tasmania, bo much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they Bay " a bad one by Wanderer was never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider thai; quite sufficient.

As a sire of good, sound, and useful stock he has never had an equal in the Southern hemisphere. Hi« victory in the Launceston Champion Race, aad the style in which he carried lftjt. 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 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 at 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 cross country horses, too numerous to mention, are also descendants of the son of Alarm." Terms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of January, 1879.
