TO TRAVEL THIS SEASON IN THE PAPAKAIO AND WAIAREKA DISTRICTS, And will stand at J. Hendbrson's Windmill The fashionably - bred and very snwriiw Thorough-bred Horso PE R T O BE Eminently suited for getting Huntors' 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 (importod); his dam Hester Grazebroolc, by Tho Premier (iml, ported), out of Miss Napier, by Delaprd (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts by Wanderer (imported). See Victoria' Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. Jfl. Panic was imported from England to Tasmania, and put, to the stud at 3 yrs. old. Ho was trained and raced at 4, and again put to tho stud, When he was 6 yrs. old, ho was purchased at a high price and imported to Victoria, whero 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 sovoral races, carrying heavy weights ; he 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 was never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired from the turf without a blemish. At tho stud, although from being in an out-of-tho-way place, he has not been favored by many first-class mares, ho has got more winners out of half-bred ones than any horso in Vietoria, and for general purposes his stook is much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE thoro is a, combination of some excellent strains of blood, such as the Waxy-Whalobono, in that famoiis line through Defenoe, and which comes to him on the sides of both sire and dam. On his siro Panic's sido there is, as well as his good Defence blood, that of the game and stout Venison, tho powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, most excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. "Tho value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not alono 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-chea animals, few, if any, can composite Pantaloon as to numbers. A very )W commendation of this strain of blood is, tliat. it mixes successfully with, and improves, alii others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, and. other good turf authorities agree with hiin. to the same effect. Ou the sido of the dam of Pertobe there is a lot ofi good blood coming in through Tho Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (tluj dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class racer, bat also as the maternal ancestress of England'! very best family of racehorses at tho present time, viz., the Newminstors). The L>a)apnS blood is also very good indeed. Delaprd's dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of; the Derby winner, Pyrrhus tho First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pkbtoiiij, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood in 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 traoe a podigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient.
