PAPAKAIO, WAIAREKA, AND KAKANUT 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, ao'd Horses suitable for the Indian Market. PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, is 1569. Got by Panic (imported); his data, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapre' (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberta, by Wanderer (imported). See Victorian Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. Jf7- Panic -was 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 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. 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 constitution, and legs like iron. Like his sire, that firstclass English racehorse Alarm, "he was never sick, sorry, or lame," and 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 tirst-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 tire 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 bo many proofs, not aldn\3as to its being speedy and staying, but also to its 'training on,' and being essentially a ' running strain ;' for although some others occasionally produce one or two first-claee animals, few, if any, can compete with Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand recommendation of this strain of blood *s, that it mixes successfully with, and improves, sll others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, and other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On the side of the dam of Pertobe there is a lot of good blood coming in through The Premier, whose graudsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (the dam" of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class racer, but also as the marternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminsters). The Dalapre blood is also very good indeed. Delapr6's dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam »f the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pertobh, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanna, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, so much is the Wanderer blood thought of, chat they say " a bad one by Wanderer was never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient. PERTOBE, by "Augur," in the Australasian, June 15th, 1878, says :—" I could fill the Australasian with the doings of " Panic," and his descendants. As a sire of good, sound, and useful stock he has never had an equal in the Southern hemisphere. His victory in the Launceston Champion Race, and the style in w;hich he carried lOst. into second place in the Melbourne Cup, were performances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy tke most exacting that he was a racehorse of no mean order. The soundness of his stock hsa 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 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. Postboy, Postman, Prodigious, and many other good cross country horses, too numerous to mention, are also descendants of the son o Alarm." Terms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of January, 1879.
