Henderson's WindmiH 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 1869. Got by Panio (imported); his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapr6 (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported). See Victoria Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. 47. Panio was im« ported from England to Tasmania, and put to the stud at 3 yrs. old. Ho 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 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 and quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution,, and legs like iron. Like his sire, that firstclass English racehorse Alarm, "he wasnever 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 winnera> out of half-bred ones than any horse in Victoria, and for general purposes his stock isj much esteemed.

In the breeding of PERTOBE there is &> combination of some excellent strains o! blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, irk that famous line through Defence, and. which comes to him on the sides oI bothi sire and dam. On his sire Panic's aidet there is, as well as his good Defence blood,, that of the game and stout Venison, th®> powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, moat; excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. " Thai value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable,, having furnished so many proofs, not alonfc as to its being speedy and staying, but to its 'training on,'and being essentially a * 1 ' running strainfor although some othera occasionally produce one car two first-class animals, few, if any, oan compete 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 same effect. On the side of. the dam of Pjertobe there is a lot of good blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was byJerry, out of the Ardroßsan mare (thedam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated, not only as a first-class racer, but-, also as the maternal ancestress of England's: very best family of racehorses at the proa out time, viz., the Newminsters). The Delapr6i blood, is also very good indeed. DelapriS'si dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam o£ the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs., Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pbrtobk* was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood ia good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanna, by Meroury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, sa> 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 siro of good, sound, and useful stock he has never had an equal in the Southern hemisphere. His victory i* the Launceston Champion Race, and the style in which he carried lOst. into second place in the Melbourne Cup, wore performances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy the most exacting that he was a racehorse of no mean order. The soundness of his Btock has become a proverb on the Australian Turf, and the anoient Strop who won a race at Launceston in February, is a living example Few horses have gone through such an oraeal as Melbourne, another Bon at present parforming 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 1 Alarm." Terms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of January,, 1880.
