Henderson's Windmill, The fashionably - bred and v.ery superior Thorough-bred Horse PK R T O B E, Eminently suited for getting Hunters, Handsome Weight-carrying Hacks, and Hordes suitable for the Indian Market. PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by IT. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in ISG9. Got by Panic (imported) ; his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delaprtf (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported). See Victorian Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. 47- Panic was imported from England to Tasmania, aud 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 Victoria, where he had two more seasons' training aud racing. He proved himself the best English horse ever trained in Australia. He ran remarkably well, and won several races, carrying heavy weights ; lie was both speedy and. staying, of a most docile and quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution) aud 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 lirst-elass mares, he has got more winners out of half-bred ones than any horse in Victoria, and for general purposes his stock is much esteemed. In the bi;eieding 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 Pauic's Bide there is, as well as his good Defence blood, that of the game and stout Venison, the powerful and and, most excellent of all, Pantaloon. "The value of the PantaloorSblood is undeniable, haying furnished bo many proofs, not alone as toils 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, tlv&t it mixes successfully with, and asi others." Thus writes .Copperthwaite, qnd other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On the side of the dam of Pertqbe thei'c is a lot of good blood coming in through The .Premier, whose grandsire, Tomlfoy, wis' by Jerry, out-- of the ArdrossauV maro (the dam.. of, -the -marc Beeswing, celebrated not otuy as a first-class racer, but also as the maternal very best family of racchorses'at-'tlie present time, viz., the Newminsters). _ Th'c Dslapre blood is also very good indeed. Delapre's dam,-Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pkk.tob'e, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is •good, he being by Wanderer, by Goiiauua, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, so much is the Wanderer blood thought ot, that they say "a bad one by Wanderer was never known," aud if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient.

As a sire .of good, sound, and useful stock he has, never had an equal iu the Southern hemisphere. His victory iu the Launceston Champion Race, and the style in which he carried 103t. into second place in the Melbourne. Cup, were performances 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 s 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 Panic. Postboy, Postman, Prodigious, and many other good cross country horses, too numerous to men> . tion, are aiso descendants of the son of Alarm." - ' ' Terms : Lo 53, payable Ist of January, 18S0.
