Henderson's Windmill, The fashionably - bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horso P , E 11 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, inx ISG9. Got by Panic (imported); his dam„ Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delaprd (im» ported); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs.' Roberts,, by Wanderer (imported). See Victorian* Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. Jf7. Panic was imported from England to Tasmania, and put to the stud at 3 yrs. old. He waß trained! and raced at 4, and again put to the stud. When ho 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 beats English horse ever trained in Australia. He ran remarkably well, and won several races, carrying heavy weights ; he \*as 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, he has got more wis> tiers out of half-hrod ones than any horse in Victoria, and. for general purposes his stock is much esteemed. " ... lii the breeding of PERTOBE there is % combination of some excellent strains o5 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 hid sire Pauio's sida there is, a3 well as hi 3 good Defence blood, that of the. game and stout Venison, t}ia powerful aud speedy Melbourne, and, most; excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. " Tlx® value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not alono as to its being speedy and staying, but also to its ' training on,' and being essentially a ' running strain for although some othera occasionally produce one or two first-class animals, few, if any, can compote 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 aido of the dam of Pertobe there is % lot ofi good blood coming in through The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossaa mare (tlm 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 Dalapr§ blood is also very good indeed. DelaprS'a dam, Portress, by Defence, was the dam off the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the' First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pertobb, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood ia goodj he being by Wanderer, by (Johanna, by Meroury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, so much, is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say " a had one by Wanderer was never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient.

His victory ia the Launccston Champion Race, and tlafl style in which hfl carried lOst. into'second place in the Melbourne Cup, were perform* ances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy tha most exacting that he waa a racehorse of ne mean order. The soundness of his stock has become a proverb on the Australian Turf, 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 performing 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 to men* tion, are also descendants of the son of Alarm." . Terms : L 5 ss, payable Ist of January, 1880.
