STArciJOtts^: THIS hh I?**!* BEASO2C PAPAKAIO, WAIAREKA, AND KAKANUI DISTRICTS, If sufficient inducement offers, • The fashionably - bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horse PE K T O B E, Eminently suited for getting Hunters, Handsome Weight-carrying Hacks, and Horses suitable for the Indian Market. PFIRTOBE is a beautiful dapple browc Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria., xn 1569. Got by Panic (imported); his dam, , Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapxg (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam,. Mis. .Roberts, by Wanderer (imported).— See "~Victorian Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. 47: Panic was imported from England to Tasmania, and put . to the stud at .'! yrs. old. He was trained • and. raced at 4, and again put ito the stud. When he was 6 yrs. old, he wa3 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, Ho 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, "hs was never sick, sorry, or lame,"' and retired irons 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 5 rirsfc-class mares, he has got more winners J out of half-bred ones than any horse in Vii;<I toria, and for guncial purposes his stock in \ much esteemed. I In the breeding of PERTOBE there ia a I combination of so:-ne excellent strains of j blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, it / that fanisxs line through Defence, and i which, comes to him on the sides of both; !■ sire and dam. On his sire Panic's side t there is, as well as his good Defence blood. nowerful and speedy Melbourne, and, mo3fc 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 other*. | occasionally pvoduce one or two first-class J animals, few, if any, can compete \fith ! Pantaloon as to numbers. A very graad recommendation of thi3 strain of blood is, that | it mixes successfully with, and improves, aIX; others." Thus writes Copperihwaite, and. other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. Oi\ the side of the dam of Pektohe there is a lot of= good blood coming in th rough The Premier, whose graudsire, Tomboy, -Ras by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (tlio darn oi' the man; Beeswing, celebrated, not only as a first -class racer, but >also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminsters). The Delaprtblood is also very good indeed. Delapre"& dam. Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of . the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs* Roberts, the great grand-dam of PertobEj ' I was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is ! good, ho being by Wanderer, by Gohanna.. by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, si.- • much is the Wanderer blood thought of. that they say " a bad one by Wanderer was never known," and if they can trace a pedi- ' gree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient, PERTOBE, by "Augur," in the Australasian, June 15tb, 187S, Bays :—" I could fill the Australasian with the doings of "Panic," and his descendants. As a sire of good, sound, and I the Southern hemisphere. His victory in the Launceston Champion Race, and the style in which he carried lOst. 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, tnd the ancient Strop who. won a race at j Launceston in February, is a living example. Few horses have gnne 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. Postboj, Postman, Prodigious, and many other good cross country horses, too numerous to men. tion, are also descendants of the son of Alarm." Terms : L 5 ss, payable Ist of January, 1879.
