Henderson's Windmill, The fashionably-bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horse PE R T O B E, Eminently suited for getting Huntera. Handsome Weight-carrying Hacks, and Horses suitable for the Indian Market. PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brews Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, la 1869. Got by Panic (imported); his cupn, Hester Grazebrook,, by The Promier (im* ported), out of Miss Napier, bv DelapM (fan* 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 pat to the sad 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 ana 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 iirst-claas mares, he has got more winners out of half-bred ones than any hone in Viotoria, and for general purposes his Stook 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 Defenoe, 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 rood Defence blood, 'that of the game ana stout Venison, the powerful and Bpeedy Melbourne, And, most excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. "The value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished'so many proofs, not alone aa 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-clase animals, few, if any, can compete with Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand re* commendation of this strain of blooa 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 side of the dam of Pertobb there is a lot of good blood coming in through The Pre* mier, whose granasire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (the dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class raoor, bat also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminsters). The Delaprd blood is also very' good indeed. Delapras (lain, Fortress, by Defenoe, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-c|am of F&ltTOßt, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood ia good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanna, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, so much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say "a bad.one by WaAderer was never known," and if they oan traoe a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that .quite sufficient.

As a siro of gooii, found, and useful stock, he has never had an equal ia the Southern: hemisphere. His victory ia the Lattnoeeton Champion Race, and the style m'which he carried lOst. into ftmwid place in the Melbourne Cap, were performances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy the most exacting that he was a racehorse of ao mean order. The soundness of hia atook lui become a proverb on the Australian Turf, and the ancient Strop who wofc a raoe at Launceaton in February, is a living example. Few horses have gone through such an orueal as Melbourne, anolher son at present per* forming'at Queensland. The greatest of all steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Hand, and he is alsd a son of Panio, Postboy. Postman, Prodigious, and many other good cross country horses, too numerous to __ tion, are. also dee cendants of the son of Alarm." Terms: L 5 sa, .payable Ist of January, . 1880.
