JOHN DONALDSON, Proprietor, Burnbank TO TRAVEL IN THE PAPAKAIO, WAIAREKA, AND KAKA NUI DISTRICTS, If sufficient inducement offers, The fashionably - bred and very superiot Thorough-bred Horse PE R T O B Eminently suited for getting Hunterj, Handsome Weight-carrying Hacks, Horses suitable for the Indian Market. PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in 1869. Got by Panic (imported); his dam. Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (im, ported), out of Miss Napier, by Delaprd (im, ported); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Robert by Wanderer (imported). See Ftcternii Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. 47. Panic was in, ported from England to Tasmania, and pu(i 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 tho best Kuglish horse ever trained in Australia, He ran remarkably well, and won seven] races, carrying heavy weights ; ho was both speedy and. staying, of a most docile and quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Like his sire, that fir* class English racehorse Alarm, "he wu 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 maty rii-st-class mares, he has got more winaen out of half-bred ones than any horse in Yin. toria, and for general purposes his stock ii u-uch esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE thero is y combination £of some excellent strains ol blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, it that famous line through Defence, and which comes to him on the sides of boll sire and dam. On his sire Panic's Bid) there is, as well as his good Defence blood, that of the game and stout Venison, tin powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, mod excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. "lb, value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniabki having furnished so many proofs, not aki as to its being speedy and staying, but al to its 'training on,' and being essentially' ' running strain ;' for although somo othen occasionally produce one or two fiist-clal animals, few, if Any, can compote witl Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand r& commendation of this strain of blood is, tha) it mixes successfully with, and improves, all others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, and other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On the side ol the dam of Pertobe there is a lot ol good blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by' Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (the dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated aot only as a first-class racer, bill also as the maternal ancestress of England'i very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminsters). The Uelaprd blood is also very good indeed. Delaprft dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mb, Roberts, the great grand-dam of was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood ii good, he being by Wauderer, by GohanM, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, a much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say "a bad one by Wanderer wai never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quits sufficient. PERTOBE, by "Augur," in tho Australasian, Juno 1878, says :—" I could fiU the Australasia with the doings of "Panic," and his d« - ceudants. As a sire of good, sound, *■}* useful stock'ho has never had an equal |° the Southern hemisphere. His victory W the Launceston Champion Race, and s>* style in which he carried 10st. into second place in the Melbourne Cup, were perform' ances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy tl" most exacting that he was a racehorse of d" mean order. The soundness of his stock hj* become a proverb on the Australian Turt and the ancient Strop who won a race >' Launceston in February, is a living exarop' B ! Few horses have gone through such an ordeW as Melbourne, another son at present p<*| fonninf at Queensland. T)i« (irnatest of **' and he is also a son of Panic.
