Henderson's Windmill, The fashionably ■ bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horse PE R T O B E, Eminently suited for getting Hunters, Handsome Weight-carrying 'Haoka, and Horses suitable for the Indian Market. PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing 16 bands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Viotoria, in 1869. Got by Panic (imported)his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapr<s (imported) ; Misß Napier's dam, Mrs. llobertß, by Wanderer (imported). —> See' Victoria Stud Boots, Vol. 11., p. 47. Panic was imported 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 Viotoria, where he had two more seasons' training; and racing. He proved himself the best English" horse ever trained in Australia, He rah remarkably well, and won several raoes, carrying heavy weights ; he was both speedy and staying, of a most docile andl quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution* and legs like iron. Like his sire, that firstclass English racehorse Alarm, "ho 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 place, he has not been favored by many first-class mares, he has got more- winners out of half-bred ones than any horse in Vic* toria, and for general purposes his stook is 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 Defenoe, and which comes to him on the sides of both sire and dam. On his Biro Panic's side, there is, as well as his good Defence blood* that of the game and stout Venison, th« powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, most; excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. " The value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable* having furnished so many proofs, not alona. 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, that it mixes successfully with, and improves, all others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, and other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On the side of the dam of Pertobb there is a lot of good blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (tha dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class ractor, but: also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the presenit time, viz., the Newminsters). The Delaprt blood is also very good indeed. Delaprd's dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. • Mrs, Roberts, the great grand-dani of Perto.be, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanua* by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, so. much is the Wanderer blood thought of,, that they say "a bad one by Wanderer wast never known," and if they can traoa a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they oonsider thato quite sufficient, PERTOBE, by 0 om £5 £.2 «wre-o I K° °P «< a &> r* Cfl re H S'o-S •< t^sr << 3 .S 3 § 90: o o S*Og od« K l g s-§§ 3 s CO - p <3 8. s» _ p^ H © to P' O 5 Oi <9 OS ® O'-S 3 e-p cm *3. % 11 S'S 5 © OQ P-JJf _ <& 0 <D 1 | s p--11 ty I §•.£.« p "Augur," in the Australasian, June Isth 1878, sayß-:—" I could fill the Australasian with the doings of " Panio," and his des« cendants. As a sire of good, sound, and useful stook he has never had an equal in the Southern hemisphere. His viotory in the Launceston Champion Race, and the style in which he carried lOst. into seoond 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 anoient 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 per* forming at Queensland. The greatest of all steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Hand, and he is also a son of Panio. Postboyv 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 6s, payable ißfc of January. 1880.
