Henderson's Windmill, The fashionably - bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horse PERT 0 B E„ Eminently suited for getting Hunters, Handsome Weight-carrying Hacks, ancl Horses suitable for the Indian Market. PERTOBE is a beautifufdapple brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in 1869. Got by Panio (imported); his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (im. ported), out of Miss Napier, by Delaprd (im. jorted); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, jy Wanderer (imported). —See Victoria Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. 47- Panio was im. ported from England to Tasmania, and put 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 purchased at a high price and imported to Victoria, where he had two more seasons' training and racing. He proved himself the best English horse ever trained in Australia. He ran remarkably well, and won several raoes, 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 sire, that first, class English racehorse Alarm, "he was never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired from, the turf without a blemish. At the stud* although from being in an out-of-the-way ilace, he has not been favored by many irst-clasß mares, he has got more winners 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 ia a combination of some 'excellent strains of blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, in that famous t line through Defence, and which comes to him on the sides of both sire and dam. On his siro Panic's side 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 Bpeedy and staying, but also' to its'training on,'and being essentially a> ' running strain;' for although Bome others, occasionally produce one or two first-elm animals, few, if any, can compete with Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand recommendation of this strain of blood is, that; it mixes successfully with, and improves, alii others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, and other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On the side of the dam of Pertobe there is a lot of good blood coming in through The Pre. mier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (tlw dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-olass raoer, bu& also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminsters). The DelaprG blood is also very good indeed. Delaprd's dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mra k Roberts, the great grand-dam of was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanna„ by Mercury, by Eolipse. In Tasmania, so much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer was never luiown," and if they can traoe a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider thai quite sufficient.

As a siro of good, sound, and useful stock he has never had an equal in the Southern hemisphere. His viotory ini the Launoeston Champion Race, and that style in whioh he oarried lOst. into seoona place in the Melbourne Cup, were perform* ances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy the most exacting that he was a racehorse of no mean order. The soundness of his stookhM become a proverb on the Australian Tun# and the ancient Strop who won a race al Launceston in February, is a living example. Few horses have gone through such an ordeal as Melbourne, another son ,at present per* forming at Queensland. The greatest of all steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Handi and he is also a son of Panio. Postman, Prodigious, and many other good cross country horseß, too numerous to inen« tion, are also descendants of the son or Alarm." Terms : L 5 ss, payable Ist of 1880.
