Henderson's Windmill, }he fashionably - bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horse PER T . 0 B E, Eminently suited for getting Hunters, landsome Weight-carrying Hacks, and lorses suitable for the Indian Market. PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown itallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in 869. Got by Panic (imported); his dam, lester Grazobrook, by The Premier (im>orted), out of Miss Napier, by DolnprtS (imlorted); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, >y Wanderer (imported). See Victorian Itud Booh, Vol. 11., p. Jfi. Panic was im>orted from England to Tasmania, and put o the stud at 3 yrs. old. He was trained ®d raced at 4, and again put to the stud. iVhen he was 6 yrs. old, he was purchased it a high price and imported to Victoria, vhore he had two moro seasons' training md racing. He proved himself the best English horse ever trained in Australia. 3.e ran remarkably well, and won several •aces, carrying heavy weights ; he was both ;peedy and staying, of a most docile and luiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, iud legs like iron. Like his siro, that firstilass English racehorse Alarm, "ho waa lever sick, sorry, or lame," and retired from ;he turf without a blemish. At the stud, ilthougli from being in an out-of-the-way ilace, he has not been favored by many irst-class mares, he has got more winners >ut of half-bred ones than any horse in Vie;oria, and for general purposes his atock is nuch esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there is a iombination of some excellent strains of jlood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, ia ;hat famous line through Defence, and svhich conies to him on the Bidc3 of both sire and dam. On his tsire Panic's side there is, as well as his good Defence blood, ihat of the game and stout Venison, th« jowerful and speedy Melbourne, and, most 3xcellent of all, that of Pantaloon. " The palae of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, iiaving furnished so many proofs, not alone is to its being Bpeedy 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 rosommendation 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 of the dam of Pertobe there is a lot of good blood coming in through Tho Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (tho dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-clasß racer, but also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminsters). The Delapri blood is also very good indeed. Delaprtf's dam, Fortress, by Defence, was tho dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs, Roberts, the great grand-dam of P®RTOJ}Jl f was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood ij good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanna, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, ao much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say "a bad one by Wanderer was never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that ciuite sufficient. PERTOBE, by E! co ® co VH MS cf B CO<J sr opr oa a 0 P- 2 P-2 O J ® a - a-fc-t & - P o 3 SI 03^ rT (T> o> Q CP *< - " p to O 2 cs 2 crq ® £ 3 p- p crOQ rd * p a* "Augur," in the Australasian, Juno 15th 1878, says :—" I could fill the Australasian with the doings of " Panic," and his des* cendants. 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 style in which he carried lOst. into aeoond place in the Melbourne Cup, were performances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy tha most exacting that he was a racehorse of no mean order. The soundness of his stock haa become a proverb on tho Australian and the ancient Strop who won a raoa at Launceston 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 January, 18S0.
