Henderson's Windmill, The fashionably - bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horse PE R T O BE, Eminently suited for getting Hunters, Handsome Weight-carrying Haoks, and Horses suitable for the Indian Market. PERTOBE is a beautiful dapplo brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Viotoria, in 1869. Got by Panic (imported); his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by DelapWS (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported). See Victoria, Stud Booh, Vol. 11., p. Iff. '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, ho was purchased, at a high priae 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; ho was both speedy ana 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 was never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired from the turf without a blemish. At the Btud, although from being in an out-of-the-way place, lie has not been favored by many nrst-class 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 ia a combination of some excellent strains of blood, such aa the Waxy-Whalebone in that famous line through Defence* and. which comes to him on the sides of both sire and dam. On bis Biro Panto's side) there is, as well as his good Dofence 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 atone , as to its being speedy and staying, but" va J to its 'training on,'and being essential!L ,( ' running strainfor although some otaer * occasionally produce one or two first*olassi animals, few, if any, can compete with Pantaloon aa to numbers. A very grand recommendation of this strain of blood is, thafe it mixes successfully with, and improves, alii others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, and other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On. the Bide of the dam of Pertobe there is a lot of good blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (tho dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated uot only as a first-class raoor, but also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminaters). The Delaprdi blood is also very good indeed, Delaprd'a dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam oj the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs, Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pkrtobe, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood ia good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanna, by Mercury, by Eclipse, la Tasmania, so much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say "a bad, one by Wanderer waa never known," and if they can traoe a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient, PERTOBE, by t) m § S" a* <1 MP CD O h <l> op a ? pr co P.

As a sire of good, Bound, and useful stock he has never had an equal in the Southern hemisphere. His victory in the Launceston Champion Race, and tho style in which he carried lOst. into second place in the Melbourne Cup, were performances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy tho most exacting that he was a racehorse of no mean order. The soundness of his stock haa become a proverb on the Australian Z'urf, and the ancient Strop who won a at Launceston in February, is a living example. Few horses have gone through such fx ordeaJ as Melbourne, another son at present performing at Queensland. The grejtoat of all steeplechasers is undoubtedly pne Hand, and he is also a son of Pani/ Postboy, Postman, Prodigious, and man' other good cross country horses, too num/ous to men« tion, are also descendants I the son of Alarm."
