Henderson's Windmill, The fashionably - bred and very superior - Thorough-bred Horse PE R T 0 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, itu 1869. Got by Panic (imported); his dam,, Hester Grasebrook, by The Premier (imported), outof Miss Napier, by Delaprd (imEorted); Miss Napier's dam; Mrs. Rob6rts„ y Wanderer (imported). See Victoria Stud Booh, Vol. 11. , p. 47. , Panic was imw ported from England to Tasmania, and puts to the stud at 3 yrs.. old. He waß 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. mpre seasons' training and racing. He proved himself the beßt 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 docile and quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Like his sire, that first* class English racehorse Alarm, "he Was never sick, Borry, or lame," and retired from, the turf without a blemish. At tho stud,, although from being in an out-of-the-way place, he has not been favored by many first-olass mares, he has got more winners* out of half-bred'ones than any horse in Viotoria, and for general purposes his Btook is» much esteemed; In the breeding of PERTOBE there is a. combination of. some excellent strains of/ blood, such as the Waxy- Whalebone, mi that famous, line through Defenoe, and] which comes to him on the Bides of both) sire and dam. On his sire Panio's sido there is, as well as his good Defenoe bloodi, that of the game and stout Venison, tits 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 alono as to its being speedy and staying, but also to its 'training on,' and being essentially a ' running strain for although some others occasionally produce, one or two first-class animals, few, if any, oan compete with Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand re-, commendation cf this strain of blood iB, that-, it mixes successfully with; and improves, alii others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, andi other good turf authorities agree with him, to the same effect. On the Bide oft 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 (thej dam of the mare Beeswing, celebcatadl not only as a first-class racer-, ItMtt 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'a dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam. of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs, Roberts, the great grand-dam of PEXauBE* was by Wanderer, and Wanderer'a 1 blood, is good, he being by Wanderer, by GohtaoiMy by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania* s» much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer waa never known," and if they can traoo a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient.

As a sire of good, sound, andi useful stock he has never had an equal in the Southern hemisphere. His victory in the Launceston Champion Raoe, and the style in wbich he carried 10st. into seoondi place in the Melbourne Cup, were performances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy the most exacting that he was »' racehorse of no mean order. The soundness of his stock has 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 Lone Hand, and he is also a son of Panio. Postboy, Postman, Prodigious, and many other good, cross country horsesj too numerous to monition, are also descendants. of tho son o£ Alarm." : Terms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of January,. 1880.
