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 dapple brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in 1869. Got by Panic (imported); his dam, Hester Graaebrook, by The Premier (im. ported), out of Miss Napier, by Delaprfi (im.. Eorted); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts,, y Wanderer (imported).—See Victoria Stud' Boole, Vol 11., p. 47. Panic was imported from England to Tasmania, and put. 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 at a high price and imported to Viotoria,, where he had two more seasons' training; and racing. He proved himself the beet; English horse ever trained in Australia. He ran remarkably well, and won s overall races, carrying heavy weights; he was both speedy and staying, of a most docile and quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Like his sire, thab, first, class English racehorse Alarm, "he was never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired fyom the turf without a blemish. At the stud, although from being in cun out-of-the-way place, he has not been favored by many iirst-class mares, he has got more winner® out of half-bred onea than any horse in Viotoria, and for general purposes his stook isi 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 Panio's sido there is, as well as his good Defence blood, that of the game and stout Venison, the powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, moat 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 strainfor although some others, occasionally produce one or two first-class* animals, few, if any, can compete with.-, Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand recommendation of this strain of blood is, thstf. it mixes successfully improves, ivuv others. "" Thus writes Uopperthwaite, audi other good turf authorities agree with him. to the same effect. On the sido ofi the dam of Pertobe there is a lot ofi good blood coming in through The Pre--mier, 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 o£ England's very best family of racehorses at. the present time, viz., the Newminstera), The Delapr6. blood is also very good indeed. Delayr6'si dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam off the Derby winner, Pyrchus the First. Mrs,. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pertobb;, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood isr good, ho being by Wanderer, by Gohanao, by Meraury, 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 consider that quite sufficient.

As a siro of good, sound, and useful Btock he has never had an equal in the Southern hemisphere. His victory in the Launceston Champion Race, and the style in which he carried 10st. into second place in the Melbourne Cup, were performances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy the most exacting that he was a racehorse of no mean order. The soundness of his stook has become a proverb on the Australian Turf,, and the ancient Strop who won a race at; Launceston in February, is a living exampleFew horses have gone through such an oraeall as Melbourne, another son at present per*, forming at Queensland. The greatest of all steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lono 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 aiso descendants of the son of Alarm." Terms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of January* 1880.
