Henderson's WindmilJ The fashionably - bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horse PE R T 0 B E Eminently suited for getting Hunters' Handsome Weight-carrying Hacks, and Horses 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 (iml ported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapr6(im» ported); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts by Wanderer (imported). See Victoria' Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. 47. Panic 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 higli price and imported to Victoria, where he had two more seasons' training and racing. He proved himself the beat 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 first* class English racehorse Alarm, "ha was never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired from* the turf without a blemish. At the stnd„ although from being in an out-of-the-way place, he haa not been favored by many first-class mares, he has got more winnora out of half-bred ones than any horse in Viotoria, and for general purposes his stock ia much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there is ft 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 sire Panic'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. "Tha value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable* having furnished so many proofs, not alona 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 Copperthwaite, and other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On the side oS the dam of Pertobk there is a lot o£ good blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (tha dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class racer, but also as the maternal ancestress of England's 'ery best family of racehorses at the prosenb time, viz., the Newminsters). The L)elapr6 blood is also very good indeed. Delaprd'a dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pkrtoiib, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanna, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, so much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wandoror was never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider thatj quite sufficient.
