TO TRAVEL THIS fH WISH SEASON IN THE PAPAKAIO AND WAIAREKA DISTRICTS, And 1 will stand at J. Henderson's Wlndmil7, The fashionably'- bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horse PER T . 0 B E. : 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., Victoria, in 18691 Got by. Panic, (imported); his dam, Hester GrazebrOok, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Relaprd (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts* by Wanderer (imported). See Victorian Stud' Book, Vol. 11., p. Jtfy. Panio was imported from England to Tasmania, and pub to the stud at 3 yrs. old. Ho was trained and raced at 4, and again put to the studWhen he was 6 yrs. old, he was purohased at a high price and imported to Viotoria, where he had two more seasons' training and racing. He proved' himself the bcßt English horse ever trained in Australia, He ran remarkably well, and won several races, carrying heavy weightshe. was both speedy ana 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 waa never sick, sorry, or lame, 1 ' 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 first-class mares, he has got jnore wiiinora out of half-bred, ones than any horse in Viotoria, and for general purposes his stook ia 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 sidos of both sire and .dam. On his sire Panic's side there is, as well as his good Defence blood, that iof the game and stout Venison, tha powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, moab excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. " Tha value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not alona as to its being speedy and staying, but also to its,'training on,'and being essentially a ' running strain;' for although some othora 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 6f blood is, that 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 Bide of the dam of Pertobe there is a lot of 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 not only as a first-class racer, huti also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family bf racehorses at the preaont time, viz., the Newminsters), The Delaprt) blood is also very good indeed. Delaprd'q dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs, Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pjbrtobk, 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, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer was never known," and if they ean traoe a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they oonsider that quite sufficient.
