Henderson's Windmill The fashionably - bred and very snnarinl. Thorough-bred Horse PE R T O Br Eminently suited for getting Hunters' Handsome Weight-carrying Hacks, ami HoraeS suitable for the Indian Market. PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in 1869. Got by Panic (imported); his dam Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (im! ported), out of Miss Napier, by DelaprS (im. ported); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts by Wanderer (imported). See Victoria' Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. #7. 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 yrs. old, he was purchased! at a high price and imported to Viotoria„ where ne had two more seasons' training and racing. He proved himself the best English horse ever trained in Australia, He ran remarkably well, and 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 firstclass English racehorse Alarm, "ha wan never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired from the turf without a blemish. At tho 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 is Victoria, and for general purposes his stock it 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 Defehce, and which comes to him on the sides of both sire and dam. On *his sire Panio's side 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 undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not alone as to its being speedy and staying, hat 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 t<k commendation of this strain of blood is, that, it mixes successfully with, and improves, al\ others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, ami other good turf authorities agrco with him to the same effect. On the side o!i the dam of Pertobk there is a lot off good blood coming in through The Pro. mier, whose graudsire, Tomboy, was by 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 anoestress of England's very best family of racehorses at tho present time, viz., the Newminatera). The Uelaprd blood is also very good indeed. DelapriS s dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pertoiik, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood io, good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanaa,, oy Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, so much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer was never known," and if they can trace a P e( l' v gree to a Wanderer mare, they consider thai quite sufficient.
