EDWARD DEVINE, 6 Proprietors, TO TRAVEL THIS m SEASON IN THE PAPAKAIO AND WAIAREKA DISTRICTS, And will stand at J. Henderson's Windmill, The fashionably - bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horse PE R T 0 B E, Eminently suited for getting Hunters, Handsome Weight-carrying Haoks, and Horses suitable for the Indian Market. PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Viotoria, In 1869. Got by Panic (imported); his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported). See Victoria Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. J/7. Panic was im. ported from England to Tasmania, and put to the stud at 3 yrs. old. He was trainod 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 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 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 horso in Vio« toria, and for general purposes his stock 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 sides of both sire and dam. On his sire Panic's sido there is, as well as his good Defence blood* that of the game and stout Venison, tlia powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, most excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. "Tha value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not along as to its being speedy and staying, but also to its ' training on,' and beinpf essentially a ' running strain for although some othera 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 mixes successfully with, and improves, all others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, and other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On the sido oft the dam of Pertobk there is a lot of good blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossau mare (tha dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class racer, but also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminsters). The Dalapr<s blood is also very good indeed. Delaprd's dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mra, Roberts, the great grand-dam of PERToas, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood ifi good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanna„ by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, sa much is the Wanderer blood thought of* that they say "a bad one by Wanderer waa never known," and if they can trace a pedi* gree to a Wanderer mare, they consider thai quite sufficient.

As a sire of good, sound, and useful stock he has never had. an equal in the Southern hemisphere. Hia victory in the Launceston Champion "Race; and the style in which he carried lOst. into second 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 stook 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 performing at Queensland. The greatest of all steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Hand, and he is also a son of Panio. Postboy, Postman, Prodigious, and many other gooa cross country horses, too numerous to men« tion, are also descendants of the Bon of Alarm." ' Termß: L 5 ss, payable Ist of Januaiy* 1880.
