Henderson's Windmill ■The fashionably - bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horse PE R T 0 "BE, Eminently suited for getting Hunters, Hahdsome Weight-carrying Hacks, and Houses suitable for the Indian Market. , PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing 16 hands hi/vh, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq.., Victoria, la 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, byl Wanderer (imported).—See Victoria Stud Book, Vol. 11., p < Jfj. Panic was iin> ported from England to Tasmania, and pnt to the stud at 3 yra. old. He was trained and raced at 4, and again put to the stud. When he was 6 yis. 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 several races, carrying heavy weights ; he was both speedy'and staying, of a most dLocile and quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Like his sire, that firstolass English racehorse Alarm, "he waa> 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, he has not been favored by manyr first-class mares, he has got more winners* out of half-bred ones than any horße in Victoria, and for general purposes his stock isi much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there is at combination of some excellent strains ofi blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, im that famous line through Defence, and] which comes to him on the sideis of both sire and dam. On his sire Panic'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. "The. value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable,, having furnished so many proofs, not alone > as to its being speedy and staying, but nlso< to its 'training on,' and being essentially a. ' running strain for although some others i occasionally produce one or two first-cb \> animals, few, if any, can compete W Pantaloon as to'numbers. A very grand i > commendation of this strain of blood is, thatt 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 Pertobb there is a Jot of; good blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (the dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class racer, but also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminsters). The Delaprd blood is also very good indeed. Delaprd's dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pertode, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanna, by. Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, ao • much is the Wanderer blood thought of,, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer wasi never known," and if they>can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, tney consider that' quite sufficient. : PERTOBE, by <T n MP as O V P D p. o q P os CD pi U* - 1-1 erg - a Off. 3 B £»S O CD 5 ©B tcM H O W§ S-S § M* 0> E a 3 % to » P ® O w.o a p Qfei Ci * o oo e to P.Q2 qj 2 on? ® 55 4 Pipt S P3 a » p Augury' in the Australasian, Jnne l'sti& 1878, say a —" J could fill the Australasian with tha doings of "Panic,"and his dft3«v/ cendants, As a sire of good, sound, and useful sr cock he has never had an equal to the So' athern hemisphere. His viotory in the 1 iaunceston. Champion Race, and the style in which he carried lOst. into seooad plaO' e in the Melbourne Cup, were perform* ane' as of merit, and sufficient to satisfy the mf /st exacting that he was a racehorse of no ro.ean order. The soundness of his stock has Vjecome a proverb on the Australian Turf, and the ancient Strop who won a raoe at Launceston in February, is a living example. Few horses have gone through such an ordeal as Melbourne, another son at present performing at Queensland. The greatest of all steepleohasers is undoubtedly Lone Hand,, and he is also a son of Panic. Postboy,, Postman, Prodigious, and many other good cross country horses, too numerous to men* tion, are also descendants of the son of Alarm." Terms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of January, 1880.
