Henderson's Windmill, The fashionably - bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horse » E R T O B E, Eminently suited for getting Hunters, Handsome Weight-carrying, Hacks, and Horses suitable for the Indian Market. PERTbBE is a beautiful dapple |>rown Stallion, standing 16 hands liigh, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in 1869. ; Got by Panic (imported); his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapr<s (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported).—See Victoria Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. 47. Panic 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 lie was 6 yrs. old, he was purchased, at a high- price and imported to Vietorwi, where he had two more seasons' traiciing 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 docilo and quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Like his sirti, that firstclass English racehorse Alarm, "he was neversick, 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-class mares, he has got more winners out of half-bred ones than any horse in Vioj^oria, 1 and for general purposes his stook is Ibuch: esteemed. Kin the breeding of PERTOBE there is a Bfig&nation of some excellent strains of "as the Waxy-Whalebone, in that -'jfanious line through Defence, aud wliicii comes to him on the sides of both sire and dam. On his sire Panic's Bide 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. " The 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 ' running strain;' for although some othors. occasionally produce one or two first-clam, animals, few, if. any, can compete witli', Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand ro«Wj commendation of this strain of blood is, thajfV it mixes successfully with, and improves, all' others." Thus writes Copperthwaito, and other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On the side of the dam of Pertobh there is a lot of good blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, waß by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan more (the dam of the mare Beeswing, oelebratod not only as a first -olass racer, bu(. also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminstets). The Delapr<S blood is also very good indeed.' Dola,pr4't) dam, Fortress, by Defence, was &e of the Derby winner,- Pyrrhus the' First. Mrs, Roberts, the great grand-dam of PfißioßK, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blocd is good, he being by Wanderer, by by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, to much is the Wanderer blood thought oi that they say "a bad one by Wauderer wad never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they oonsider that quito sufficient.
