Hbnderson's Windmill The fashionably - bred and very superior Thorough-bred Hone PERTOBE, Eminently suited for getting Hunters Handsome Weight-carrying Hacks, anA Horses suitable for the Indian Market. PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple browa Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, la 1869. Got by Panic (imported); his Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (un> ported), out of Miss Napier, by Dolaprd (im-. ported); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported). Sea Victoria Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. 47. Panio was im. ported 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 yiß. old, he was purchased at a high price and imported to Vigtoria, where he had two moro seasons 9 training) and racing. . He proved himself tho best English horse ever trained in Australia,. He ran remarkably well, and won several! races, carrying heavy weights ; he was both speedy ana staying, of a most docile andl quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution!, and legs like iron. Like his aire, that first* class English racehorse Alarm, "ho wm 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 moire winners* out of half-bred ones than any horse in Vio-. toria, and for general purposes his stook much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there i* a combination of some excellent strains, of blood, such as the in that famous line through Defeat and which comes to him on the sidea of both sire and dam. On his sire Pavnio's side, there is, as well as his good Defence blood,, that of the game and stout Venison, thei powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, most excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. " Thei value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not alone 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 blood is, that it mixes successfully with, and improves, all others." Thus writes Copperfchwaite, and other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On the side of the dam of Pertobe there is a lot of. good blood coming in through The Promier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was kg? Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (thei dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class racer, bub also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family- of racehorses at tho presonfc time, viz., the-Newminsters). Tho DelaprG blood is also very good indeed. Delaprd'a dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhua the First. Mrfc Roberts, the great grand-dam of PfiRTOMi was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood ia good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanno, 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. PERTOBE, by £Mf I " Augur," in the Australasian, Jmae 1878, says :—" I oould fill the Anstrala®' 1 " with the doings of " Panic," and hiß de«' cendants. As a siro of good, sound, ana useful stock he has never had an equal w the Southern hemisphere.
