TO TRAVEL THIS En SEASON IN THE PAPAKAIO AND WAIAREKA DISTRICTS, And will stand at J. Henderson's Windmill, The. fashionably - bred and Tery suporior Thorough-bred Horse PERT O BE, 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 1869. Got by Panic (imported); his dam,, Hester Grazebrook, by The. Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delaprl (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts,, by Wanderer (imported). See Victoria Stud Booh, Vol. 11., p. Ifl. 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 Btud. When he was 6 yrs. old, he was purchased at a high price and imported to Viotoria, where he had two more seasons' training and racing. He proved himsolf the beßt 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 docila 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 first-class mares, he has got more winners out of half-bred ones than any horse in Vio.

toria, and. for general purposes his stook 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 Defenoe, and which comes to. him on the sides of both sire and dam. On his siro Pauio's side there is, as well as his good Defenca blood, that of the game and. stout Venison, tha 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 alon® as to its being spoedy and staying, but also to its ' training on,' and being essentially a ' running strain for although some others occasionally produce one or two first-claus animals, few, if any, can compete with Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand recommendation of this strain of blood is, that.X it mixes successfully with, and improves, ali\ . 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 grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (the dam .of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-olass racer, bub also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminsters). The Delapri blood, is also very good indeed. Delaprd's dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pbrtobk, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanua, 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 can traca a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient.

As a sire of good, sound, oud useful stock he has never had a& equal in the Southern hemisphere. His victory ) J the Launceston Champion Race, and t style in which he carried lOst. into soctf place in the Melbourne Cup, were perform ances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy the most exacting that he was a racehorse of no mean order. The soundness of his stock has 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 per* forming 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 men« tiori, are also descendants of the sou of Alarm." Terms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of January, 1880.
