Henderson's Windmill, The fashionably - bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horse I 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., Viotoria, in 1869. Got by Panic (imported); his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapr6 (imported) j'Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by : Wanderer (impprted). See Victorian Stud Booh, Vol. 11., p. Ift. Panic wa3 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 Btud. 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, sorryj 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 Viotoria, and for general purposes hia stack 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 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. " The value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not along as to its being speedy and staying, but alsq to its ' training on,' and being essautially a ' running strainfor although some others occasionally produce one or two first-claaa animals, few, if any, oan 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 Bide of the dam of Pertobe there is a lot of good blood coming in through The Prei mier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan maro (tho dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first -olas& racer, but also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the pros out time, viz., the Newminsters). The Dalapr4 blood is also very good indeed. Dclapr<S'a dam, Fortress, by Defence, was, the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the. First. Mra, Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pertobb, 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 was never known," and if they can traoe a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient.

As a sire of good, Bound, aud useful stock he has never had an equal in the Southern hemisphere. His victory in the Launccston Champion Raoe, and the style in whioh 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 hag become a proverb on the Australian Turf, aiid 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 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 meat tion, are also descendants of the son oI Alarm." Terms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of January, 1880.
