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 browci Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, its, 1869. Got by Panio (imported); his dam,, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapr<s (imported); Miss Napier's darn, Mrs. Roberts,, by Wanderer (imported). See Victoria Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. Jj!7. Panio was imported from England to Tasmania, aud 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, ho was purchased at a high prioe and . imported to Viotcwia, where he had two more seasons' training and raoing. He proved himsolf the best 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 docile aivi quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution and legs like iron. Like his sire, that i\ust-. class English racehorse Alarm, "he waoi never siok, sorry, or lame," and retired froim the turf without a blemish. At the stud,, although from being in an out-of-the-way* place, he has not been favored by many? first-class mares, he has got more winnera out of half-bred ones than any horse in Victoria, and for general purposes his stock ia much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there is a combination of some excellent strains oii blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, ins that famous line througli Defence, aimi which cornea to him on the sides of both sire and dam. On his sire 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, most excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. '' Tho value of the Pantaloon blood is uudenia.'<>lc fc having furnished so many proofs, not atone* as to its being speedy and staying, but also, to its 'training on,' and being essentially ' running strain for although . scoae others, occasionally produce one or two first-class* animals, few, if any, can compete with« Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand re* commendation of this strain of blood is» tluift it mixes successfully with, and improves, all others." Thus writes Copperthwaita, aud other good turf authorities agrea with him to . the same effect. Od the side of the dam of Pertoek there is a lot of. good blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was % Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare jtlio, dam of the mare Beeswing, celel»atu<3i not only as a first-olass racosr, bub, also as the maternal ancestress of England's, very best family of racehorses at the present; time, viz., the The Delapi'6 blood is also very good indeed. DelaprdV, dam, Fortress, by Defeace, was the dam off the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs, Roberts, the grand-dam of Pertobe:, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood ia good, he being by Wanderer, by Golianoa, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, so much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wandorer was never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient.

S.M B W --- T P "Augur," in the Australasian, June 35tls 1878,. says :—" I could fill the Australasian with the doings of "Panio," and his descendants. As a Biro of good, sound, and useful stock he has never had an equal in the Southern hemisphere. His victory in the Launceston Champion Race, and tho style in which he carried 10at. into seoond place in the Melbourne Cup, were performances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy tho 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 oraeal as Melbourne,, another .son at present performing at Queensland. The greatest of all 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: L 5 ss, payable Ist of January, 1880.
