STALLIOHS PAPAKAIO, WAIARHKA, 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 Weig it-carrying Hacks, and Horses suitable for the Indian Market PERTOBE is a beautiful dapplo brows Stallion, standing 16 hands high, B-ed by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, sa 1869. Got by Panic (imported); his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapr* (imby "Wanderer (imported).— Sec Victoria*. Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. 4-7. Panic was imported from England to Tasmania, and. put to the stud at 3 vr*. old. He was trained and raced at 4. and again put to the stud. When he was 6 yrs. oJd, he was purchased at a high price and imported to Victoria, where he had two more seasons' training and racing. He proved himself the beat 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 and legs like iron. Like hia sire, that firstclass English racehorse Alarm, "he was never sick, sorry, or lamo," asd retired from the turf 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 is. much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBK there is a combination of some excellent strains or blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, in that famous line througli Defence, and. which comes to him on the side 3 of botii sire and dam. On his sire Panic's side t!i ere is, as well as his good Defence bloody 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 itß ' 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 turf authorities agree with him to the same eft'ect. On the side of the dam of Pep.tohe there is a lot oi" good blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by i .lorry, out of the Ardrossan mare (the ; dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated j not only as a first-class racer, but very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newmiusters). The Dslapre blood is also very good indeed. dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. Kobertß, the great grand-dam of Peiitobe. was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is good, he being by Wanderer, by by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, so. mncli is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say "a bad one by Wanderer wae. never known," and if they can trace a pedi-. yree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that, quite sufficient. PEKTOBE, by "Augur," in the Australasian, June Isth, 1878, says:—"l could fill the Australasian with the doings of "Panic;" and his descendants. As a sire of good, sound, anil useful stock he has never had an equal in the Southern hemisphere. His victory in the Launceston Champion Raco, and the style m which he carried lOst. into second place in the Melbourne Cup, wore performances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy the most exacting that he was a racehorse of ao. mean order. The soundness of his ntock has become a proverb on the AustralianVTitff. and the ancient Strop who won a raofl " Launceston in February, is a living examu... Few horses have gone through such an ordeal as Melbourne, another son at present performing at Queensland. The greatest of all steeplechasers ia 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.
