Henderson's Windmil?, The fashionably - bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horse P E R T O B E, Eminently suited for getting Hunters, Handsome Weight-carrying Haoks, 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 Tho 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. 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 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 and staying, of a most dooile and quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Like his sire, that firstclass English racehorse Alarm, "he waa 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 first-class mares, he has got more winners 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, in that famous line through Defence, and which comes to him on the sides of both sire and dam. On his sire Panic's Bida there is, as well as his good Defence blood, that of the game and stout Venison, tho 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 alsi to its 'training on,' and being essentially A ' running strainfor although some • otherrV s occasionally produce one or two first-claai 1 / 1 animals, few, if any, can compete witt Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand rel commendation 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 Bide of the dam of Pkrtobe there is a lot of good blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan maro (tlio dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class racer, bat also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at tho present time, viz., the Newminsters). The DulapnS blood, is also very good indeed. DelapriS's dam, Portress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pkrtobe, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanna, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, so much is tho Wanderer blood thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer waa never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider thai quite sufficient.
