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-car ryiug Hacks, ana 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 (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 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, "he waa never sick, sorry, or lame," and rotired 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 lirst-class mares, he has got more winnera out of half-bred ones than any horse in Victoria, and for general purposes his stock ia 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 aire and dam. On his sire Panic's side there is, as well as his good Defence blood, that of the game and stout Venison, tho 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 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 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." Thuß 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 tho 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 Dulaprd 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 Pertobe, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood ia 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 waa never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient.

As a siro of good, sound, and useful stock ho has never had an equal in the Southern hemisphere. Hia victory in the Launceston Champion Race, and tho style in which hs carried lOst. into second place in the Melbourne Cup, wore perform* ances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy the most exacting that he was a racehorse of no mean order. Tho soundness of his stock has become a proverb on the Australian Turf, and the ancient Strop who won a raoe at Launceston in February, is a living example. Few horses have gone through such an oraeal as Melbourne, another son at present per* forming at Queensland. The greatest of all steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Hand, and he is also a son of Panio. Postboy. Postman, Prodigious, and many other good cross country horses, too numerous $o men* tion, are also descendants of the eon of Alarm." Terms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of January, 18S0.
