Henderson's Windmill, The fashionably - bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horse P E R T O 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 1569. Got by Panic (imported); his dam Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (im. ported), out of Miss Napier, by Delaprd (im. ported); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts by Wanderer (imported).—See Victorian Stud Book, Vol. 11, p. 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 high 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, "he 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 many first-class mares, he has got more winners out of half-bred ones than any horse in Victoria, and for general purposes his stock is much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there is a 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 Bide' there is, as well as his good Defence blood, that of the game and atout Venison, thfr. powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, most, excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. " Thsi value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not alone as to its being speedy and staying, but alio 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 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 racer, but also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminsters). The Delaprd blood is also very good indeed. Delaprg's dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of. the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs,, Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pertobe,, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is, good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanna,. by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, bomuch is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer wa& never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient.

As a sire of good, sound, m}o useful stock he has never had an equal ia the Southern hemisphere. His victory m the Launceston Champion Race, and the style in which he carried lOat. into second place in the Melbourne Cup, were perform* ances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy the most exacting that he was a racehorse of no mean order. The soundness of his stock become a proverb on the Australian Turf» and the ancient Strop who won a race a» Launceston in February, is a living example Few horses have gone through such an ordeal as Melbourne, another son at present per* forming at Queensland. The greatest of a|* steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Hand,, and he is also a son of Panic.
