NUI DISTRICTS, If sufficient inducement offers, I The fashionably - bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horse E R T OB JL' Eminently suited for getting Hunters, Handsome Weight-carrying Hacks, and Horses suitable for the Indian Market. PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple browj Stallion, standing 16 hands high. Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, ig 1869. Got by Panic (imported); his dan, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (im, ported), out of Miss Napier, by Delaprejin. ported); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Robertt, by Wanderer • (imported). See Victoria* Stud Book, Vol. 11, p. 47. Panio was im. ported from England to Tasmania, and pat to the stud at 8 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 Victoro, where ne had two more seasons' traininjl and racing. He proved himself the bat English horse ever trained in Australit He ran remarkably well, and won aevenl races, carrying heavy weights ; he was botl speedy and staying, of a most docile ml quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Like his sire, that fin), class English racehorse Alarm, "he mi never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired frej the turf without a blemish. At the eW, although from being in an out-of-the-mj place, he has not been favored by muj first-class mares, he has got : more winna out of half-bred ones than any horse in Vis toria, and for general purposes his stock I much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there is I combination of some excellent- strains i blood, such as tho Waxy-Whalebone, ii that famous line through Defence, ul which comes to him on the aides of M sire and dam. On his sire Panic's tidi there is, as well as his good Defenco blood, that of the game and stout Venison, thi powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, moa 1 excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. "Tbi value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not aloa as to its being speedy and staying, but all to its 'training on,'and being essentiallyi ' running strain ;' for although some othai occasionally produco one or two first-clil animals, few, if any, can compete wM Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grandn commendation of this strain of blood is, ft it mixes successfully with, and improrest! others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, ill other good turf authorities agree with hi to the same effect. On the tide o the dam of Pertobe there is aWt good blood coming in through The Pit mier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was Ij Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (ft dam of the mare Beeswing, celobnW™ not only as a first-claaß racer, » also as the maternal ancestress of EnguM very best family of racehorses at the ursJ time, viz., the Newminsters). Tho D»U| blood is aho very good indeed. Dolap! dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dim the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. 1! Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pkrto was by Wanderer, and Wanderer s blw good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohu by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmami, much is the Wanderer blood thought that they say " a bad one by Wandoren never known," and if they can tracei a R gree to a Wanderer mare, they consider« quite sufficient. PERTOBE, by 3- £j £ 8 i_iO'"Augur," in tho Australasian, Jun* 1878, says :—" I could fill the Am"* with the doings of " Panic," and W cendants. As a siro of good, souo! useful stock he has never had an eg' the Southern hemisphere. His victoj the Launceston Champion Race, fl" style ia which he carried 10st. into * place in the Melbourne Cup, were J»j* ances of merit, and sufficient to saw most exacting that he was a racchor«« mean order. The soundness of his become a proverb on the Australi*" and the ancient Strop who won a * Launceston in February, is a livingeXn Few horses have gone through such a&J 1 as Melbourne, another son at P res *. forming at Queensland. The greatos* steeplechasers is undoubtedly and he is also a son of Panic. "** Postman, Prodigious, and many otbtfj cross country horses, too numerous W tion, are also descendants of the Alarm." -., Terms: L 5 ss, payable let of J * 1879.
