Henderson's Windmill The fashionably - bred and very suporior Thorough-bred Horse PE R T , 0 BE. Eminently suited for getting Huntora, 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 Tho Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delaprd (im. Eorted); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberta, y Wanderer (imported).—See Victoria Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. 47. Panio was imported from England to Tasmania, and put to the stud at 3 yrs. old. He was trainod and raced at 4, and again put to the Btud. When ho was 6 yrs. old, he was purchased, at a high price and imported to Victoria,, where ne had two more seasons' training and racing. He proved himself tho bcafc English horse ever trained in Australia, He ran remarkably well, and won several races, oarrying heavy weights ; ho was both speedy and staying, of a most, docile and quiet temper, with a wonderful and legs like iron. Like his sire, that first* clbbs English racehorse Alarm, "he was never Bick, sorry, or and retired from the turf without a blemish. At tho stud, although from being in an out-of-the-way dace, he has not been favored by many Lrst-clasa mares, he has got more winnow out of half-bred ones than any horse in Yio* toria, and for general purposes his staek ia much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE &ero is % combination of some excellent strains ofi blood, sixch as the Waxy-Whalebone, ir> that famous line through Defence, audi which comes to him go, the sides of both sire and dam. On his Biro Panio's side there is, as well as his good Defence blood, that of the game and stout Venison, the powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, mo&k excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. " Tto value of the Pantaloon blood is having furnished so many proofs, not alone* as to its being speedy and staying, bnt also, to its 'training on,' and being ea&Wtially e« ' running strainfor although some othora occasionally produce one or Wo first-clasei animals, few, if any, oaa compete with. Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand re» commendation of ihis strain of blood is, thatt it mixes su&csasfully with, and improves, all others." Thus writes Copparthwaite, awl other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On the sido of the dam of Pertobb there is a lot of good blood coming in through The Pro-, mier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare {fee* dam of the mare Beeswing, celetawW not only as a first-class butt also as the maternal ancestress of Kwgland'Si very best family of racehorses at tiftQ presents time, viz., the Newminsters). Ifae Delaprd blood is also very good indeed, dam, Fortress, by Defeuoe* was the dam 08 the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs, Roberts, the groat grand-dam of was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood ia good, he being by Wanderer, hy Gohanna, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, so much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer wm never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient.

As a sire of good, sound, and useful stock he has never had an equal | n the Southern hemisphere. His victory in the Launceston Champion Race, and the style in which he carried lOat. into second place ia 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 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 Bon at present performing at Queensland. The greatest of #ll steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone 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." Terms: LS'ss, payable Ist of January, 1880.
