STALLIONS T O T RAVEL ®' SEASON I PAPAKAIO, WAIAKi KA, AND KAKANUI DISTRICTS, If sufficient inducement offers, The fashionably - bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horse PE U T O B E, Eminently suited for getting Hunters, Handsome Weight-carrying Hacks, and Horses suitable for the Indian Market. PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing l(i hands high, I'.red by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in IS(J!>. Got by Panic (imported); his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapre (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam,' Mrs. Roberts, by "Wanderer (imported).— See '• Victorian Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. 47.. Panic was imported from England to Tasmania, and put to th' 3 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 bestKuglish horse ever trained in' Australia. He ran remarkably well, and won several races, carrying heavy weights ; he was both speedy and staying, of a mqst 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 retbed from ! the turf without a blemish. At the stud, i :d:hough from being in an out-of-the-way place, he has not been favored by many nrst-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 a 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 sides of both sire and dam. On his sire 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 aloneas to its being speedy and staying, but also ' to its 'training on,'and being essentially a ' running strain ;' for although some others oec.-isiolnatty produce one or two animals, few, if any, can compe-e with Pantaloon as to numbers. A very g.and recommendation of this strain of Wood »i, th::t> . it mixes successfully with, and in> proves all ! others." Thus writes and other good turf authorities agree wkh him. ' to the same effect. On the side of the dam of Pbrtobe 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 not only as a ilrst--cla<s racev, btit also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of the present time, viz., the NewminsLers). The Delr.ure blood is also very good indeed. B.'?pve'f> s • dain, Fortress, by l'efence, wa-. the dam of" e ! the Derby winner, Pyrrhus „fce !■">- i;.

As a sire of good, sound, and useful stock he has never had an equal iu the Southern hemisphere. His victory in " the LauncestGn Champion Race, and the " style in which he carried lOst. into second ' placs in the Melbourne Cup, were perform--1 ances oi merit, and sufficient to satisfy the • most exacting that he was a racehorse of no > mean order. The soundness of his htock has e becrme a. on the Australian Turf, ~i and -tlie ancient Strop who won a race at i Launceifon in February, is a living example. - Few horses have gone through such an ordeal '' as Melbourne, another son at' present per--1 forming at Queensland. The greatest of all ' s steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Hand, d- and he is also a son of Panic. Postboj-, Postman, Prodigious, and many other good e cross country horses, too numerous to men--1 tion. are also descendants of the son oi 1 Alarm."
