Henderson's Windmill The fashionably - bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horse PE R T 0 B E, 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., Victoria, la 1869. Got by Panic (imported); his dam Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (im*. ported), out of Misa Napier, by Delapr6 (im. ported); MiBS Napier's dam, Mrs.- Roberts, by Wanderer (imported).—See Victoria Stud Booh, Vol. 11., p. 47. Panio 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 studWhen ho was 6 yrs. old, he was purohasedl at a. high price and imported to where ne had two more seasons' training and racing. He proved himself the beet, English horse ever trained in Australia*. He ran remarkably well, and won sovorail races, carrying heavy weights; he was both speedy and Btaying, of a most docile ar,d quiet temper, with a wonderful constitute on and legs like iron. Like his sire, that first' class English racehorse Alarm, •'V IO WM never sick, sorry, or lame," and reti red from the turf without a blemish. At the stud although from being in an ou'c-of-the-way place, he has not been favoved by many first-class mares, he has got more winners out of half-bred ones than any horso in Victoria, and for general purposes his stock ia much esteemed. In the breeding of tERTOBE thore is a combination o£ aor.io excellent strains of blood, Buch as Waxy-Whalobono, in that famous li'ae through Defence, aud which cornea t-o him on the sides of botlj sire and darn. On his sire Panic's side there ia, as well as his good Defence blood, that of the game and stout Venison, tho powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, most excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. "The vaJ'ae of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not alone as to its being speedy and Btaying, 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 blood is, that it mixes successfully with, and improves, all others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, aud other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On the Bide of the dam of Pertobe there is a lot of good blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (the* dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated! not only as a first-class raoer, but also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the preßont time, viz., tho Newminsters). The Delaprd blood is also very good indeed. Delaprcs dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs, Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pkbtobe, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanna, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, bo much 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.
