Henderson's Windmill The fashionably • bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horse PER T O B w Eminently suited for getting Hunters, Handsome Weight-carrying Haoks, and Horses suitable for the Indian Market. PERTOBE is a beautiful dapplo brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Viotoria, b 1869. Got by Panic (imported); his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapi-6 (im. Eorted); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roborts, y Wanderer (imported).—See Victoria' Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. Iff. Panic was im. ported from England to Tasmania, and put, to the stud at 3 yrs. old. He waß trained! and raced at 4, and again put to the stud.. When he was 6 yrs. old, he was purohasedi at a high price and imported to Viotorio>, where he had two more seasons' training and racing. He proved himßolf the best English horse ever trained in Australia, He ran remarkably well, and won soveral 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. Liko his sire, that first* class English racehoiae 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. maay? lirßt-olass mares, he has got more winners) out of half-bred ones than any horse in Victoria, and for general purposes his atook ia 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 line through Defenoe, and which comes to him on the sides of both sire and dam. On his Bire Panic's side there is, as well as his good Defence blood, that of the game and stout Venison, thai powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, moalt excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. " The value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, 1 having furnished so many proofs, not alone as to its being speedy and staying, but aIBO to its 'training on,' and being essentially a ' running strainfor although some othors occasionally produce one or two first-class animals, few, if any, can oompeto with Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand re* | commendation of this strain of blood is, that it mixes successfully with, and improves, alii others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, audi other good turf authorities agree with him, to the same effect. On the side, oft the dam of Pkhtobe there is a lot oli good blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardroasan mare (tho 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 tho present time, viz., the Newminsters), The L>alapr<s, blood is also very good indeed. dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dar&os the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. I*lra s Roberts, the great grand-dam of PussfCOßK,, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer'a blood it) good, he being by Wanderer, GohannA* by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, s« much iB the Wanderer Wood, thought of, that they say " a bad cave by Wanderer waa never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient.

As a Biro of good, sound, and useful stock he has never had an equal in the Southern hemisphere. His viotoiy in the Launceston Champion Raoe, and the style in which he carried lOst. into Beoond place in the Melbourne CHp, were performances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy tha most exacting that he was a racehorse of no mean order. The soundness of his stock haa become a proverb on the Australian Turf, and the ancient Strop who won a raoe at Launceston in February, is a living example. Few horses have gone through suoh an ordeal as Melbourne, another son at present per* forming at Queensland. The greatest of all ateepleohasers is undoubtedly Lone Hand, and he is also a son of Panio. Postman, Prodigious, and many other gooa cross country horses, too numerous to men* tion, are also descendants of the son ol Alarm." Terms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of Jannary» 1880.
