Hendersoh's Windmill, The fashionably - bred and very Buperior Thorough-bred Horse E R T O B Eminently suited for getting Hunters 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., Viotoria, in 1869. Got by Panic (imported) ; his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delaprd (im. ported); MiBB Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported).— See VictorianStud Book, Vol. 11.,p f Panio was im. ported from England to Tasmania, and put to the stud at 3 yrs. old.. Ho waß trained and raced at 4, and again put to tho stud. When he was 6 yrs. old, he was purchased! at a high price and imported to Viotoria, 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 Btui, 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 Viotoria, and for general purposes his atook 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 sido there is, as well as his good Defence blood, that of the, game and stout Venißon, tha powerful and speedy Melbourne, most excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. "Tho value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished bo many proofs, not alont as to its being speedy and staying, but also to its ' trairdng on,' and being essentially a ' running strain;' for although some others occasionally produce one or two first-class animals, few, if any, can compote witk 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 tho same effeot. , On the Bide of. the dam of Pektobe there is a lot of good blood coming in through The Promier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardroßsan. mare (tha dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class racer, bub also as the maternal ancestress,of England's very best family of racehorses at tho present time, viz., the Newminsters). The Delapre blood is also very good indeed. Delapro's dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Psbtoiie, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's Mood 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 ono by Wanderer was never known," and if they can traoe a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient. PERTOBE, by HW^^o «< a- S aa3 B • p-g- ■ § H . erWj "Augur," in the Australasian, Jnna 15th j 1878, says :—" I could fill tho Australasian bf. ■with the doings of " Panio," and his de«» cendants. As a sire of. good, sound, and r?'i useful stock he has never had an equal in V';< the Southern hemisphere. His victory in s |: the Launceatbn Champion Race, and th« ;;-,!; style in which ho carried lOst. into aeoond Nf place in tho Melbourne Cap, were perform* ances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy the ||> most exacting that he was a racehorse of no \'-\ mean order. The soundness of his atook haa 0 become a proverb on tho Australian Turf, jiij| and the ancient Strop who won a' race aft |fjs Launceston in February, is a living example. |p Few horses have gone through suoh an ordeal ■■;•■ as Melbourne, another son at present per* |?| forming at Queensland. The greatest of all '& steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Hand. |p and he is also a son of Panio. Postboy Swi 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. Groom's fee, ss, payable find service.
