Henderson's Windmill, The fashionably - bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horse PE R T O BE, Eminently suited forgetting Hunters, Handsome Weight-carrying Hacks, and Horses suitable for the Indian Market. i'ERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in 18G9. Got by Panic (imported) ; his" dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delaprd (imported); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported).—See Victorian Stud Booh, Vol. 11., p. 47. Panic was imported 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 best liuglish 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, "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, ho has got more winners out of half-bred ones than any horse in Viotoria, 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 sida 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 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 hina to the same effect. On the side of the dam of Pertobe there is a lot o£ good blood coming in through The Pre-, mier, whose graudsire, Tomboy, was by •Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (tha dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class racer, bub also as the maternal ancestress of England'a very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminsters). The Delapr6 blood is also very good indeed. Delaprd'a dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs,. Uoberts, 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, 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 pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient.

As a sire of good, sound, and useful stock he has never had an 'equal in the Southern hemisphere. His victory in the Launcestoh Champion Race, and the style in which he carried 10st. into' second place in the Melbourne Cup, were performances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy the most exacting that he was a racehorse of no mean order. ; The soundness of his stock haa become a proverb on the Australian, Turf, and the anaient Strop who won a race at Launceston in February, is a living example.. Few horses have gone through such an ordeal a3 Melbourne, another son at present performing at Queensland. The greatest of all steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Hand„ and he is also a son of Panic. Postboy, Postman, Prodigious, £\nd many other: good cross country horses, too numerous to men* tion, are also descendants of the son of Alarm." Terms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of January, 1880.
