-STAuuows,.~7 __;; to t p s a; THIS U SEASON PAPAKAIO, WAIAREKA, AND KAKANUI DISTRICTS, If sufficient inducement offers, The fashionably - bred and very superior Thorough- bred Horse PE R T O BE, Eminently suited for getting Hunters, Handsome Weight-carrying Hacks, and Horses suitable for the Indian Market. PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, ia 1869. Got; by Panic (imported) ; his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (im» ported), out of Miss Napier, by DeiapriS (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberta, by Wanderer (imported). See Victoria SI Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. 47. Panio was im» ported from England to Tasmania, and put to the stud at .'• yrs. old. He was trained and raced at 4. and again put to the stud. When he was 6 yrs. old, he was parakased at a- high price and imported to Viafcoria*, where he had two more seasons' training and racing. He proved himself the best Kngiish horso 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 firatclass English racehorse Alarm, "he was never sick, sorry, or lame," and reti-ed from the tnrf 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, he has got more winners out of half-bred ones than any horse in Victoria, and for general purposes his stock ia much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there is a combination of some excellent strains of blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, in that famous lino througli Defence, and which cornea to him on the sides of both; sire and dam. On his s-ire Panic's side there is, as well as his good Defence blood, that of the game and stout Venison, the powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, most excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. " 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 ! animals, few, if any, can compete with. Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand recommendation of this strain of blood is, that i it mixes successfully with, and improves, all I others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, and i other good turf authorities agree with hint Ito the same effect. On the side of j the dam «jf Pertouk there is a lot of , j good blood coming in through The Pre- ' mier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of' the Ardrossan mare (the. dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated I not only 33 a first-clas3 racer, but j also as the maternal ancestress 01 Eugland'rf 1 very best family of racehorses at the present : time, viz., the Newminsters). The Delaprc j blood is also very good indeed. Delapr6'a I dam, fortress, by Defence, was the dam of I the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Peutobe. I was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is good, "he being by Wanderer, by Gohanna, by Mercury, by Eclipse. lu Tasmania, scj much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say *' a bad one by Wanderer was. never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient. PERTOBE, by " Augur," in the Australasian, June 15th, IS7S, says : —" I could fill the Australasian with the doings of "Panic," and his descendants. As a sire of good, sound, and useful stock he has never had an equal ia the Southern hemisphere. His victory in i the Launceston Champion Race, and the style in which he carried 10st. 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 Loue 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.
