Henderson's Windmill, The fashionably - bred and very superior Thorough-hred 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 LS69. Gob by Panic (imported); his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by Tho Premier (imported), out of Miss Napior, by DelaprtS (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported). See Victorian Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. 47- Panic was imported from England to Tasmania, and put to the stud at 3 yrs. old. 110 was trained and raced at 4, and again put to tho 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 himsolf the best Kngiish 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 aud 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 tho stud, although from being in an out-of-the-way place, lie has not been favored by mauy 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, aud 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. " Tho 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 ono or two first-class animals, few, if any, can compete with Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand rocommendation 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 Tho Premier, whose grandsiro, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (the dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class racer, bn# also as the maternal ancestress of Euglaftd'ff very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminsters). Tho Delapra blood is also very good indeed. Delapr6'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 blqod 19 good, he being by Wandeyer, by Gohaunii, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, so much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer waa never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider 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 Launceston Champion Race, aqd tta style in which he carried 10st. iqfco *ggqn<J place in the Melbourne Cup, were perfqnflances of merit, sufficient to satisfy $lO most exacting that he was a racehorse of no mean order. The soundness of liis stock hag become a proverb on tho Australian and the ancient Strop who won a race at 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 sl} steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Hani, and he is also a son of Panic. Postboy, Postman, Prodigious, and 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, 18S0.
