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 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in 1569. Got by Panic (imported); his dam, Hester Grazebrook,. by. The Premier (imported), out of Misa Napier, by Delaprd (iraported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported). See Victorian Stud Booh, Vol. 11, p." 47. Panio was imported from England to Tasmania, and put 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 i at a high pri<je and imported to Victoria, vvhere he had two more seasons' training aid 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 dooile and quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Like his siro, that firatclass English racehorse Alarm, "he was never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired l from the turf without a blemish. > At the stud,' although from being in an out-of-tha«way place, he has not been favored by many first-class mares, ho has got nw6 winnera out of half-bred ones than any horse in Vio« toria, and for general purposes hia stook ia vnnr>Vi 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 Panio's sido" there'is, as well as his good Defence blood, that of the game and stout Venison, tha powerful nud speedy Melbourne, and, mosb excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. '' The value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not alone as to its being speedy and staying, but alqa to its 'training on,' and being essanttaUy 3 • ' running strain for although some others occasionally produce one or two first-clasa animals, few, if any, can compete 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-V other good turf authorities agree with him" to the same effeot. On the side of the dam of Pertobe there is a lot of goij|J Wood coming in The Pihj« mier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (tho dam of the mai'e Beeswing, oelobrated not only as a first - class racer, but also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminsters). The Delaprs blood is also very good indeed. Delapr6'q : dam, Fortress, by Defence, was, the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus thei First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grEvud*dam of Pejitobis, Was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is good, he being by Wanderer, hy 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 traco a pedi* gree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient. j PERTOBE, by

As a siro of good, sound, and useful stock he has never had nn e<ju»l in the Southern hemisphere, His victory io the Launceston Champion Raqe, and tho style in which ho carried lQst. into eeaorid place in the Melbourne Cup, were performances of merit, arid sufficient to satisfy tho 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 hive gone through such qn cffqeftj as Melbourne, another soii present psr, forming at Quoenplqud, The greatest of all Steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Hand, and he i 3 also a son of Panic.
