Henderson's Windmill, The fashionably - bred and. very superior Thorough-bred Horse PERT 0 B E, Eminently suited for getting Hunters, Handsome Weight-carrying Haoka, 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, Hester Grazebrook, „by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by'D&laprd (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Robert*; by Wanderer (imported). Stud 'Book, Vol. 11., p. 47. Panic was imported from, England to Tasmania, and i put to the stud at 3 yrs. old. Ha was trained audiraced at 4, and again put to tlie 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 racers, 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 waa 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 beeui 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 his stock is much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there is a combination of some excellent strains of blood, such as the ia that famous line through Defence, and which cornea to him on the sides of both sire and dam. On liis sire Panic's aide there is,' as well as his good Defence bldod, that of the game and. stout Venison, .tho powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, most excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. " Thin value of the Pantalooh 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 4 running .strain;' for although some, otnors occasionally produce one or two first-claßß animals,. few, •!£ any, can oompete 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 to the same effect. On the 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 uot only as a first -clasa racer, but also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminaters). The DelapriJ blood is also very good indeed. DelaprS'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 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 Wanderer waa never kuown," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient.

JEa victory, in. ;he Launceston Champion Rac«, and tho style in which hs carried lo3t. into feecond place in the Melbourne Cup, were performmcea of merit, and sufficient to "satisfy- the nost exacting that he was a racehorse of no nean order. The soundness of his stock hai aecome a proverb on the Australian Turf, md the ancient Strop, who won a raoe at Dauuceston in February, is a living example. Few horses have gone through such an ordeal is Melbourne, another son at present per« 'orming at Queensland. The greatest or all iteeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone md he is also a son of Panic.
