Henderson's Windmill, The fashionably - bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horse > E R T 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., Viotoria, in 1869. Got by Panic (imported); his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapr£ (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported). See Victorian Stud Booh, Vol. 11., p. 4-7. 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 stud. 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 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 and legs like iron. Like his sire, that firstsclass English racehorse Alarm, "he waw never sick, Borry, or lame," and retired fromi the turf without a blemish. At the atari, although from being in an out-of-the-way place, he has not been favored by many iirst-class mares, he has got more winnera out of half-bred ones than any horse in Viotoria, and for general purposes his stoek ia much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there is a combination of some excellent strains of blood, such as the Waxy-Whale bone, in that famous line through Defence, and vhich comes to him on the sides of bo'„h lire and dam. On his sire Panic's B7,de Shere is, as well as his good Defence blc.od, that of the game and stout Venison, the powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, most ixeellent of all, that of Pantaloon. ' ' The value of the Pantaloon blood is under liable, having furnished so many proofs, not alone as to its being speedy and staying, but also to its 'training on,' and being esseu tially a ' running strain for although som a others occasionally produce one or two first-class animals, few, if any, can com - pete with Pantaloon as to numbers. A ver; j grand recommendation of this strain of l>\ood is, that it mixes successfully with, and improves, all others." Thus writes Coppedchwaite, and other good turf authorities agree with him to the same elfect. On the side of the dam of Pjsutobe there is a lot of good blood coming in. through The Premier, whose grandsir.o, Totnboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (the dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class racer, but also as the matem-.il ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminsters). The Delaprt blood is also very good indeed. DelapriS's dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs, Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pertobk, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is good, lie being by Wanderer, by Gohanna, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, bo much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer waß never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient.

Asa.sire of good, sound, and useful stock he has never had an equal im the Southern hemisphere. Hiß victory ini the Launceston Champion Race, and the> style in which he carried lOst. into second, place in the Melbourne Cup, were performances,of merit, and sufficient to'satisfy thei 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 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 Panic. Pcßiboy, Postman, Prodigious, and many othor good cross country horses, too numerous to men* tion, are also descendants of the son of Alarm." Terms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of January, 1880.
