Henderson's Windmill, The fashionably - bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horse P E R T O B E„ Eminently suited for getting Hunters, Handsome Weight-oarrying 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 Delaprf (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported).—See Victorian Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. Jpt. Panio was imported from England to Tasmania, and put to the stud ait 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 prioe and imported to Viotoria,, where he had two more seasons' training and racing. He proved himself the bests. 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 moat docile and quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Like his sire, that firstclass English racehorse Alarm, "he was never sick, Borry, 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 hOrße in Victoria, and for general purposes his Btook ia much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there is a combination of some excellent strains of blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, ia that famous line through Defence, and which comes to him on the sides of both sire and dam. On his sire Panic's sid« there is, as well as his good Defence blood, that of the game - and stout Venison, th» powerful and' speiedy Melbourne, and, most excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. " The value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not alon* as to its being speedy and staying, but also to its 'training on,' and being essentially A ' running strain for although soma otnera occasionally produce one or two first-class animals, few, if any, can oompete with Pantaloon as' to numbers. A very grand re* commendation 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 himi to the same effect. On the side ofr the dam of Pertobe there is a lot oJf good. blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (the dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class racer, butt also as the maternal ancestress of ■ England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminsters). The* £telaprs blood is also very good indeed. Itelapr<i'« dam, Fortress, by Defence, wa». the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhua the First. Mrs* Roberts, the great of PflftTOßE, 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 was never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they oonsider that quite sufficient.

As a aire of good, sound, and useful stook he has never had an equal ia the Southern hemisphere. His Tictory in the Launceston Champion Raoe, and th# style in which he carried lOst. into aeoond place in the Melbourne Cup, 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 stock has become a, proverb on the Australian Turf, and the ancient Strop who won a race at Launceston in February, is a living example. Few horses have gone through such an oraoal as Melbourne, another son at present performing 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 xnen« tion, are also descendants of the son of Alarm." Terms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of January. 1880.
