Henderson's Windmill The fashionably - bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horse PE R T O.BR, Eminently suited for getting Hunters Handsome Weight-carrying Haoks, and Horses suitable for the Indian Market. PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brovrn Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Viotoria, in 1569. Got by Panio (imported); his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by Tho Premier (im« ported), out of Miss Napier, by Delaprd (inw ported); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts by 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. Ho was trained and raced at 4, and again put to tho stud. When he was 6 yrs. old, he was purchased at a high price and imported to Victoria, where he had two more soasons' training and racing. He proved himsolf tho best English horse ever trained in Australia, He ran remarkably well, and won sevoral 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 aire, that first, class 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 Viotoria, and for general purposes his stock 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 Defence, and which comes to him on the sides of both sire and dam. On his siro Panic's sido there is, as well as his good Defonoe blood, that of the game and stout Venison, tha powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, moat excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. "Tha value, of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not alou'e as to its being speedy and staying, but also to its 'training on,' and being essentially a ' running strain for although some othora occasionally produco one or two first-class animals, few, if any, can compete with Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand recommendation of this straiu of blood is, that it mixes successfully with, and improvos, all others." Thus writes Coppcrthwaito, and other good turf authorities agree with hira to the same effect. On the side of the dam of Pertobk there is a lot of good blood coming in through The Pre* mier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossau maro (tho dam of the mare Beeswing, eelobratod 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 L>elapr6 blood is also very good indeed. Delaprd'a dam, Fortress, by Defence, was tho dam o! the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. Roberta, the great grand-dam of Pkhtojik, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood ia good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanoa, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, so much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wanderor was never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient.
