Henderson's Windmill The fashionably - bred and very Buperior Thorough-bred Horse PE R T QBE 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., Viotoria, in 1869. Got by Panic (imported); his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (im. ported), out of Miss Napier, by Delaprd (im. Eorted); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, y Wanderer (imported). See Victoria Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. 47. Panio was im. ported from England to Tasmania, and 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, he was purchased at. a high price and imported to "Viotoria,, where he had two more seasons' training and racing. He proved himself tho boat English horse ever trained in Australia, He ran remarkably well, aud won several 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, that first* olass English racehorse Alarm, "ho waa never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired from the turf without a blemish. At tho Btud, although from being in an out-of-the-way place, he has not been favorod by many first-class mares, he has got more winners out of half-bred ones than any horse in Viotoria, and for general purposes his atook is much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there is a combination of some excellent strains oi blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, in that famous lino through Defenoo, and which comeß to him on the sides of both sire and dam. On his sire Panic's aido 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. "The value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniablo], having furnished so many proofs, not aloua as to its being speedy and staying, but also to its ' training on,' and being essentially a ' running strain for 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 blbod 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 oi good blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was tj: 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 of England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminsters). The DelaprA blood, is also very good indeed, Dolaprea dam, Fortress, by Defence, was tho dain oi the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pjbktojbb, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood ia good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanna, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, so muoh 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.

Ab a siro of good, sound, useful stock he has never had an equal in the Southern hemisphere. His victory » the Launceston Champion Race, and thft style in which he carried lOst. into aeoonal place in the Melbourne CHp, were performances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy most exacting that he was a racehorse of no mean order. The soundness of his stock nM become a proverb on the Australian Turf, and the ancient Strop who won a 1400 Launceston in February, is a living Few horses have gone through such an oraew as Melbourne, another son at present porj forming at Queensland.
