Henderson's Windmill, The fashionably - bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horse PE R T O B E, Eminently suited for getting Hunters, Handsome Weight-carrying Hacks, and Horses suitable for the Indian Market. PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown. Stallion, standing 1G hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Viotoria, ira 1869. Got by Panic (imported); his daw,. Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Dolaprd (>m« ported); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts,, by Wanderer (imported). See Victorian Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. Jfl. Panio was iia« ■ ported from England to Tasmania, and putt to the stud at 3 yrs. old. He was trained and raced at 4, and again put to the Btud, When he was 6 yrs. old, he was purchased at a high price and imported to Viotoria, where he had two more seasons' training and racing. He proved himsolf the best English hopse ever trained iu Australia., He ran remarkably well, and Won several raoes, carrying heavy weights ; he was bothi speedy and staying, of a most docile ancfi. quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution,, and legs like iron. Like his sire, that firstclass English racehorse Alarm, "he wast never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired fronn 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 horse in Victoria, and for general purposes his stock ii much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there is a combination of some excellent strains ot blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, in that famous line through Defence, aadt 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 Venison, th«n powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, most* excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. " Th» value of the Pantaloon 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 at ' running strain}' for although some others occasionally produce one or two firat-clasa animals, few, if any, can compote 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 sgjaie effect. On the side oi the dam of Pertobe there is a lot efi good blood coming in through The mier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was, bjp Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mar* (fbh«: dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated! not only as a first-class racer, bub. also as the maternal ancestress of England'* very best family of racehorses at the presents time, viz., the Newminsters)> The Dalaprli blood, is also very good indeed. Delaproa dam, Fortress, by Defence, was. thft dam afi the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the !First. Mrs* th,e great grand-dam of PlfcRTO&Ei ,was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood n 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 wa* never known," and if they can traoe a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient, PERTOBE, by P m N ef ®_ o> cr h WP U W -d t?

As a siro of good, 'sound, and useful stock he has never had an equal in the Southern hemisphere. His victory ta the Launceston Champion Race, and tke stylo in which ho carried lOst. into second place in the Melbourne Cup, were perform* ances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy the most exacting, that he was a racehorse of im mean order. The soundness of his stock haa 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 ordeal 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 men* tion, are also descendants of the ion ol Alarm." Terms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of January, 1880.
