Henderson's Windmill, The fashionably - bred and very superior . , Thorough-bred Horse PER 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 brawn Stallion, standing 16 hands high. Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Viotoria, in 1869.' Got by Panic (imported); his dam, Hester Graaebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delaprl (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs; Roberts, by Wanderer • (imported). See Victoria Stud.Book, Vol. 11., p. £7. Panic was 1 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 tho 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 beat English horse ever trained in Australia. He ran remarkably well, and won sovoral races, carrying heavy weights ; he was both speedy ana . staying, of a most dooile and quiet temper, wibh a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Like his sire, that firstclass English raoehorse Alarm, "he was never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired from the turf without a blemish. At th« 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 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, And which comes to him on the sides of both sire and dam. On his tiro Panic's side there is, as Well as his good Defenoe blood, that of the game and stoat 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 ' rixnning strain for although some others occasionally produce one or two first-class animals, few, if any, can oompete with A* Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand re-,/ commendation of this strain of blood is, thai; \ it mixes successfully with, and improves, all others." Thus writes Qopperthwaite, and other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On the side oi the dam of Pertobe. there is a lot of good blood coming in through The Pre. inier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrosaan mare (tho dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class racer, but also as the maternal anoestress of England's . very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminstera); The Delaprl blood is also very good indeed. Delaprd's dam, Fortress, by Defenoe, was the. dam ef the Derby winner, Pyrrhuß the First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pkrtoue, was -by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is good, he being -by Wanderer, by Gohauna, 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 Wander6r mare, they consider that quite sufficient. 1878, says :—" I could fill the Australasian with the doings of " Panic," and his dtf-x cendants. As a sire -of good, sound, useful stock he has never had &a equal iuf the Southern liemisphnre. His victory in the Launceston Champion Race,, and the style in which he carried lOst. into second place in the Melbourne Cup, were performances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy the 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 raoe ftt Launceston in February, is a living example* Few horses have gone through such an ordeal as Melbourne, another son at present per' forming at Queensland. The greatest of all steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Hand, and he is also a son of Panic. Postboy. Postman, Prodigious, and many other good cross country horsos, too numerous to men* tion, are also descendants of the son of Alarm." Terms: L 5 ss, payablo Ist of January, 1880.
