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 Haokfc, 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 Panio (imported); his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss-Napier, by Delapr6 (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mm. Roberts,, jy Wanderer (imported). See Victoria Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. ift. 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! at a high price and imported to Viotoria,, where he had two mora seasons' training; and racing. He proved himself the' best English horse ever trained in Australia. He ran remarkably well, -aud won Beveral races, carrying heavy weights; he was both speedy and stayiug, of a most docilo and 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 tirst-clasß mares, he has got more winners out of half-bred ones than any horse in Viotoria, 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 sire Panto's side> 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. " Th» 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 ' running strainfor although some Others ' occasionally produce one or two first-class , animals, few, If any, can compete wittiV 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 Pertobe there is a lot of: good blood coming in through The Premier, whose granasire, Tomboy,: was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (thai dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class raoer, but; also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminsters). Tho DelaprA blood is also very good indeed. Delaprd'a dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam o£ the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Phrtobb, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohannaj by Mercury, by Eolipse. 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 thai , quite sufficient.
