THIS TO T RjgV vE L M SEASON IX THE 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 1G hands high, Bred l>y H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in IS6!>. Cod by Panic (imported) ; his dam, Hester Grozebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapr6 (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported). See Victorian Stud Book, Vol. II ,p. &7- Panic wa3 imported 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 i at a lii<rh price and imported to Victoria, i where he had two more seasons' training I and racing. He proved himself the best English horse ever trained in Australia. ! lie r.TO wall, and won several races, carry in g 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 firstKuglish racehorse Alarm, "he was c!a: never siek, sorry, or lame," and retired from the turf without a blemish. At the stud, although from being in an out-of-the-way place, lie has not been favored by manv iirst-class mares, he has got more winners .■nt of half-bred oue3 than any horse in Victoria, and for I'eiieial purposes his stock 13 much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there is a combination of some excellent strains o* blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, ! that famous line through D-faJ'ce, »;id | which comes to him on the side 3 of botn I sire and dam. On his fire 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 Pmtaloou. *- JLlie value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, bavin" furnished so many proofs, not alone as to its b'.dng speedy and staying, but also ho its ' training on,' and being essentially a ' running strain ;' for although some others occasionally produce one or two iirst-class animals, few, if any, can compete with Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand re-' commendation of this strain of blood is, that it mixes successfully with, and improves, all others." Thus writes Coppertliwaite, and other good turf authorities agree with him to the san-.e effect. On the side of the dam of Pertobe there is a lot of good blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandsire. Tomboy, was bv Jerry, out of the Ardrossan. rr.arc (the dam of the mare 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 Nowmiiiiters). The Delaprti blood is also very good indeed. Delapr<s's darn, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. , Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pertobe, I was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is ! good, he being: by Wanderer, by Gohanna, Iby Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, so i much is the Wanderer blood thought of, j that they say " a bad one by Wanderer was i never known," and if they can trace a pedi- ! ._>ree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that ! quite sufficient.

As a sire of good, sound, and u-efr.l stock he has never had an equal in the Southern hemisphere. His victory iu Launeeston Champion Race, and the style m which he carried 10st. into second place in the Melbourne Cup. were performances of merit, au«l aiffieiunt to satisfy the most exaeiiug that he was a raccl;or.- se 'of no mean order. The soundness of his xtocn 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 :y-- mleal as Melbourne, another son at prcstuV performing at Queensland. The greatest of all steeplechasers is undoubtedly . Lone Hand, and he is also a son of Panic. Postboy, Postman, Prodigious, and many other good cross country horse?, too numerous to mention, are also descendants of the. son o Alarm."
