STALLIONS TO T R, SEASON ; PAPAKAIO, WAIAREKA, AND KAKAI NUI DISTRICTS, I If sutiicient inducement offers, I The fashionably - bred and very superior I Thorough-bred Horse PE R 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 i Stallion, standing 16" hands hish. Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in | 1569. Got by Panic (imported) ; his dam, | Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (im*" j ported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapre' (imj ported); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported).— See Victoria v. \ Sivd Book, Vol. 11., p. A 7. Panic was imI 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 imported to Victoria, where ho had two „ more seasons' training ; and racing. He proved himself the best English horse ever trained in Australia. I He ran remarkably well, and won several ' races, carrying heavy weights ; he wa3 both. | speedy and staying, of a most docile amS. | quiet temper, with a wonderful constitntitm > j and legs like iron. Like his sire, that firstclass English racehorse Alarm, "he- wa*. never sick, sorry, or lame',!'and retired froira * the turf without a blemish. At the stud,, j although from being in an out-of-the-way [ place, he has not been favored by manyj first-class mares, he has got more winners i out of half-bred ones than horse in Vic--i toria, and for gonoial purposes his stock i?. I much esteemed. \ In the breeding o; PERTOBE there is & j combination of amit. excellent strains of I Mood, sue!'. a?, the Waxy-Whalebone, in.. '■ that f;u-oas line through Defence, and j whicli cornea to him on the sides of both ' sire and dam. Oa his Mr.?, Panic's side- : there is, as well .is his good Defence blood, i that of the. gaim; and stout Venison, the ! powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, most excellent of all, that or Pantaloon. " The j value of the Pautaloon blood is undeniable, I having furnished so many proofs, not alone i as to its being speedy and staying, but aI&G I to its ' braining on, and being essentially a i ' vanning strain ;' lor although some otiiers j occasionally produce one or two first-class j animals, few. if any, can compete with. I Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand re- | commendation of this strain of blood is, that | it mixes successfully with, aad. improves, all j others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, and; other good turf authorities agree with hire ito the same effect. On the side of j the dam of "Pkrtobe there is a lot oi" j good bkod coming in through The Prej rnier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, waa by , Jerry, out of tho Ardrossaii mare (the dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class racer, but also as the maternal ancestress of England's I very best family of racehorses at the present , time, xr/.., the Newminsters). The Delapre ', bh;od is also very good indeed. Delapre'a I dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of ! tiie Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pekto£E,. j was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is. I good, "he being by Wanderer, by Gokanna, ]by Mercury, by iiclipse. In Tasmania, so. I n\v.'A\ is the Wanderer blood thought of. ! that they say " a bad one by Wanderer -was ' never known," and it they can trace a i>ediI -reo to a Wanderer i:_ai they consider that I quite sufficient. i T-EUTOBE, by " Augur," in the Australasian, June 13th, IS7S, says :"I could fill the Australasian with the doings of " Panic." and his descendants. As a sire of good, sound, ary\ useful stock he lias never had an eoual in the Southern hetrasr.herc. His victory in the Lanucoston Champion Race, and thfc style in whioh 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 Launccston 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 Fi£n.d' and he is also a son of Panic. Pcsi Postman, Prodigious, and m.any other j ".',,. cross country horses, too numerous to mention, are also descendants of the son of Alarm." Terms : L 5 op, payable Ist of January, 1879.
