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 Hacks, and Horses suitable for the Indian Market. PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown 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, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported). See Victoria Stud Boole, Vol. 11., p. Jtft. Panio was im« ported from England to Tasmania, and pub 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 purchaaod at a high price and imported to Viotoria, 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 ana staying, of a most docile and quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Like his Bire, that first* class English raoehorse Alarm, "he was never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired from the turf without a blemish. At the stud, although from being in an 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- stook is much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there is a combination of some excellent strains of blood, such as the in that famous line through Defence, and which comes to him on the sides of both sire and dam. On his sire Panio'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 othojrq occasionally produce one or two first-olaan animals, few, if any, can compete with Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand re« 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 aide 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 mare (thd 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, DelapriS's dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam o| the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mra, Roberts, the great grand-dam of was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood ia good, he being by Wanderer, by Gdhanna, by Mercury, by Eclipse. 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 considor that quite sufficient, PERTOBE, by S>tn S* <o 1* a 3 3 £ b W H tog gg<i . f | !

As a sire of good, sound, and useful stock he has never had an equal in the Southern hemisphere. His victory in the Launceston Champion Race, and the style in which he carried lOst. into seoond place in the Melbourne Cup, were performances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy the most exacting that he was a raoehorse of no mean order. The soundness of his stook haa become a proverb on the Australian Turf, and the ancient Strop who won a race 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 steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lcine Hand, and he is also a son of Panio. Postboy, Postman, Prodigious, and many other good cross country horses, too numerous to men> tion, are also descendants of the son of Alarm." ferms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of January, 1880.
