Henderson's Windmill, The fashionably - bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horse PE R T O BE, Eminently suited for getting Huntors, 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., Victoria, in 1869. Got by Panic (imported); his dam, Heater Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapr6 (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported). See Victorian Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. 47. Pauio was imported from England to Tasmania, aud put to the stud at 3 yrs. old. Ho 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 over 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 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 first-class mares, he has got more winners out of half-bred ones than any horse in Victoria, and for general purposes hia stock ia much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there is a combination of some excellent strains of blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebono, in that famous line through Defence, and which comes to him on the sides of both sire and dam. On his siro 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, mosb excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. " Tho value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not alone 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 him co the same effect. On the sido of the dam of Pertobe there is a lot of good blood coming in through The Premier, whoso grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (the dam of the mare Beeswing, colebrated 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 Newminsters). The blood is also very good indeed. Dclaprd's dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus tho First. Mrs, Roberts, the great grand-dam of Picut'OßE, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is 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 Wanderer waa never known," and if they can trace a podi» gree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient.

As a siro of good, sound, and useful stock he has never had an equal in the Southern hemisphere. His victory in the Launceston Champion Race, and the stylo in which he carried lOst. into second place in the Melbourne Cup, were performances of merit, aud sufficient to satisfy the most exacting that he was a racohorse of no mean order. The soundness of his stock hat) become a proverb on tho Australian Turf, and the ancient Strop who won a race at Launceston in February, is a living example. Few horses have gene through such an ordeal as Melbourne, another son at present performing at Queensland. The greatest of all steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lono Hand, and he is also a son of Pauio. Postboy, Postman, Prodigious, and many other good cross country horse 3, too numerous to men* tion, are also descendants of tho son of Alarm." Terms: L 5 se, payablo Ist of January, 1880.
