Henderson's Windmill, The fashionably - bred iand very superior Thorough-bred Horse P: E R T 0 B E, Eminently suited for getting Huntors, Handsome Weightrcarrying Haoks, and Horses suitable for the Indian Market. PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in 1569. Got by Panic (imported); his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delaprd (imported); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported).—See Victorian Stud Book, Vol. 11. y p. 47. -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 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 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 tirst-class 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 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 011 the sides of both sire and dam. On his sire Panic's side there is, as well as his good Defence blood, that of the game and stout Venison, the powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, most excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. " The value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofß, not alone as to its being speedy and staying, but also to its 'training on,' and being essentially a ' running strain for although some otnera occasionally produce one or two first-olasa animals, few, if any, can compete with Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand re* commendation 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 side, ol the dam of Pertobe there is a Jot ol good blood coming in through The Pre. mier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, 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 maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the JSTewminsters). The Delaprg blood is also very good indeed. Delaprd's dam, Portress, by Defence, was the dam the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs,, Roberts, the great grand-dam of PERTQEfy was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blo,od is good, he being by Wanderer, by by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, sq much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer waq never known," and if they can trace a pedii gree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient.

B "Augur," in the Australasian, June 15th 1878, says : —" I could fill the Australasia with the dbings of " Panic," and his de|» cendants. As a siro of goad, Bound, and useful stock he has never had an ecjuaj fa the Southern hemisphere. His victory ia the Launoaston Champion Race, and the style in which he carried lOst. into seoond place in the Melbourne Cup, were perform* ances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy tho most exacting that he was a racehorse of nq mean order. The soundness of his stook ha* become a proverb on the Australian Turf, and tlio ancient Strop who won a ra<?e at . Launccston in February, is a living example, Few horses have gone through such an ordeal as Melbourne, another son at present per* forming 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 good cross country horses, too numerous to men* tion, are also descendants of the son of Alarm." Terms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of Januarys 18S0.
