Henderson's Windmilf, The fashionably - bred and very saperior 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., . Victoria, in 1869. Got by Panic (imported); his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delaprd (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported). See Victorian Stud Booh, Vol. 11., p. 47. Panic was imported from England to Tasmania, and _pub 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 BeaSons' 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 moat docile aud 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 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 is 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, aud which coines to- him-on the sides of both sire and dam. On his aire Pauic's sido there is, as well as his good Defence blood, that of the game and stout Venison, the powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, most excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. '' Tho 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 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, aud 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 graudsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (tho dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class racer, but also as the maternal ancestress of England's very be3t family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminsters). The Delapr4 blood is also very good indeed. Delaprd's dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the 1 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 was never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient.

As ; a Biro of . good, sound, and useful stock he has never had an equal iq the Southern hemisphere. His victory in the Launceston Champion Race, and the style in which he carried lQst. into SQpond place in the Melbourne Cup, wqre perforin* arices of. merit, and sufficient to satisfy tho most exacting that he was a raoehorse of no mean order. The soundness of his stpok has become a proverb on the Australian Turf, and the ancient Strop who won a raoe 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 aiso descendants of tho son of Alarm." , : Terms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of January, 1880.- Grooms foe, ss, payable first service.
