Henderson's WinAnEET, The fashionably - bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horse > E R TO B E, L Eminently suited for getting Hunters, Handsome Weight-carrying Hacks, and Horses suitable for the Indian Market PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown. Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Viotoria, lni 1869. Got by Panio (imported); his dam,, Hester Graaebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapre" (imported) ; Miss Napier'a dam, Mrs. Roberts,, by Wanderer (imported). See Victorian Stud Booh, Vol. 11. , jp. 47. Panio was imported from England to Tasmania, and pal to the stud at 3 yrs. old. He was : trained and raced at 4, and again put to the Btud. 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 first- • class English racehorse Alarm, "he was' never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired from. the turf without a blemish. At the Btud, although from being in an out-of-the-way' place, he has not been favored by many hrst-class mares, he has got more winners < out of half-bred ones than any horse in Viotoria, and for general purposes his stook isa much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there !• u combination of some excellent strains el blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone/ im that famous line through Defence, and! which comes to him on the sides oi tooth sire and dam. On his sire Panics aide there is, as well as his good Defence; blood, that of the game and stout Veniaon, th« powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, most excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. " The value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not alone as 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-class, animals, few, if any, can compete with. Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand recommendation of this strain of blood is, that; it mixe3 successfully with, and improves, alii 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 o£; good blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by/ Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (thai dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated! not only as a first-class racer, W> also as the maternal ancestress of England' a very best family of racehorses at the preset time, viz., the Newminsters). The blood is also vary good indeed. Do)' apre's dam, Forfcressf.by Defence, was. thft dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Psbtobb, was by Wanderer, and Wandsw ,r's blood is good, he being by Wan&ejNHt, * D y Gohanna, by Mercury, by la Tasmania, so much iB the Wandowr Wood thought of, that they say " a bad one 'oy Wanderer was never known," and. if they can trace a pedigree to a Wandow* mare,, they consider that quite sufficients PERTOBE, by 'K. w « g as g><j "Augur," in the Australasian, June 15th 1878, aaya :— " I could fill the Australasia! with the doings of "Panic," and hia deg. cendants. As a sire of good, sound, and useful stook he has never had an equal in the Southern hemisphere. His viotory in the Launceston Champion Race, and the style in which ho carried lOst. into seoond plaoe in the Melbourne Cup, were perform* ances of merit, and sufficient to Batisfy the most exacting that he was a racehorse of no mean order. The soundness of his stock has become a proverb on tfye Australian Turf,, and the ancient Strop who won a race at; 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. I and he is also a son of Panic Postboy. T> i T> li • 1 .. 'I cross country horses, too numerous to men* tion, are also descendants of the son of Alarm." Terms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of January, . 1880. Groom's fee, ss, payable first service.
