TO TRAVEL THIS Iff 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 O BE, 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 bands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Viotoria, hi 1869. Got by Panic (imported); his dam Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (im. ported), out of Miss Napier, by DelaprtS (im. ported); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported). See Victoria Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. 47. Panio was im» ported 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 importod 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 docilo 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 horse in Viotoria, and for general purposes his Btock 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 Defonoe, and which comes to him on the sides of both sire and dam. On his sire Panio's side there is, as well as his good Defence blood, that of the game and stout Venison, thi powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, irvosli excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. " Tho. value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not alouet 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 mixes successfully with, and improves, all others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, and other good turf authorities agree with hi/a to the same effect. On the sido o{ the dam of Pertobe there iq % lot oj good blood coming in through The Pro-, inier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (tha dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class racer, bub also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminsters). The Ualapr<s blood is also very good indeed. DelapriS a dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pkrtobis, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohauua, 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 trace a pedigree to a Wanderer inare, they consider thaft quite sufficient.
