Henderson's Windmill The fashionably - bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horse P E R, T O BE Eminently suited for getting Huutors' Handsome Weight-oarrying Haoks, 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 1869. Got by Panic (imported); his dam Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (im! ported), out of Miss Napier, by Delaprd (im. Eorted); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts y Wanderer (imported). See Victoria' Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. J+7. Panio was im, ported 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 purohasod at a high prioe 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 sevorai race 3, carrying heavy weights ; he was Ijoth 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, "ho was never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired from the turf without a blemish. At tho stud, although from being in au 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 Vio» toria, and for general purposes his stook it much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there is a combination of some excellent strains of blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebono, in that famous lino through. Defenoo, and which comes to him on the sides of both sire and dam. On his siro Panio'a eido 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. "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 othora 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 improveß, all others." Thus writes Copperthwaito, and other good turf authorities' agree with him to the same effect. On tho side of the dam of Pertobe there is a lot of good blood coming in through The Promier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of tho Ardrossan mare (the. dam of the mare Beeswing, celebratod not only as a first-olass racer, but, also as the maternal ancestress of England'a very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminsters). The Dalaprft blood, is also very good indeed. DelapnS'a dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam oS the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs, Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pertobb, 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 waa never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient.
