Henderson's Windmill, The; fashionably - bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horse > E R T 0 BE, Eminently suited for getting Hunters, Handsome • Weight-carrying Hacks, and Horses suitable for the Indian Markot. PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred' by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in 1869. Got by Panic (imported) j his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delaprd (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported).—Sec Victorian Stud Boole, Vol. 11., p. 4-7. Pauio 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 lirstclass English racehorse Alarm, "ho was never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired from the turf without a blemish. At tho stud, ilthough from being in an out-of-the-way plac ! e, he has not been favored by many lirst-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 on the sides of both sire and dam. On his sire Panic's aid# there is, as well as his good Defence blood, that of the game and stout Veru3on, th« powerful and speedy ~ Melbourne, and, mosk excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. " Tho value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not alont as to its being speedy and staying, but also to its '.training on;' and being essentially a ' running strainfor 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 otliers." Thus writes Copperthwaite,. andi. other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On tho side of the dam of Pertobe there is a lot of good blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (th« dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class racer, bub also as the maternal ancestress of England 3 very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminsters). The Delapr4 blood is also very good indeed. Delapr«s's dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus tho First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pertobe, 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 pedi-, 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 ia the Southern hemisphere. His victory in the Launceston Champion Race, and tho style in which he carried lOsfc. into second place'in the. Melbourne Gup, were • performances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy th<J , most exacting that he was a racehorse of no mean order. The soundness of his stock ha* become a proverb on the Australian Turf, and the ancient Strop who won a rac« at Launceston in February, is a living example. Few horses have gone through such an ordeal as Melbourne, another Son at present par« forming at Queensland. The greatost of all steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Hand, and ho is also a son of Panic, Postboy,. Postman, Prodigious, and many .other good cross country horses,, too numerous, to meiia tion, are also descendants of th<j son of Alarm."' Terms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of January, ; 18S0.
