Henderson's Windmill, The fashionably - bred and very Bnperior Thorough-bred Horse PE R T O B E, Eminently snited 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, la 1869. ' Got by Panio (imported); his dam > Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Dolaprd (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberta, by Wanderer (imported). See Victorian Stud Book, 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 purohaaed.. at a high price and imported to Victoria, where lie had. two more seasons' 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 most docile andt quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution,, and legs like iron. Like his sire, that firso» class English raQohojae Alarm, "he waa 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 Viotoria, and for, general purposes his stook ia 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 side there is, as well as his good Defence blood, that of < the game and stout Venison,. the powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, moßb excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. " The value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable,, having furnished so many proofs, not alon«> as to ?:s being speedy and staying, but also, to its 'training on,' and being essentially a, ' running strain for although some others, occasionally produce one or two first-claea animals, few, if any, can compete with Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand reco maendation of this strain of blood is, thai: it miren successfully with, and 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 grandsire, Tomboy, waß by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (the 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 the present time, viz., the Newminsters). The Delapr6 blood is also very good indeed. Delapr6's dam, Fortress, by Defence, was .the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus tbo/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 oan 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 in the Southern hemisphere. Hiß victory in the Launceston Champion Race, and the style in which he carried lQat. 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 no mean order. The soundness of his stook has become a proverb on the Australian Turf, and the ancient Strop who won a raoe at Launceston in February, is a living examplo. 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 son of Alarm." Terms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of January, 1880.
