To stand this season in the FEILDING and KIWITEA Districts, the Thoroughbred Stallion, HANDSOME JACK (foaled 1890). Bred at Sylria Park. m g«r ft TTANDSOME JACK (■fQ^SMfJ \ 1 met with an acciwhich has prevented him i rom being raced. Be was very highly thought of and tried to be a horse of great promise. This handsome colt is well worth inspection of breeders, and such a {remarkable chance is seldom offered to them. It is worth bringing the attention of breeders to bis tabulated pedigree, and. would point out that the imported .Nightlight i* the g. grandam of St. Hippo, that Nigbtlight "visited Fireworks, and begat Lamona, who in turn visited Bob* inson Crusoe and begat Hippona, dam of St. Hippo, so that Handsome Jack claims to fee bred on the same line, and with the only addition of Maribyrnong his blood aud breeding are identical. Also, that Sunshine visited Robinson Crusoe, and the result was Sextant, the fastest horse in all the colonies, and the present record for half a mile (47£ sec) was established by him as a two year-old in Christchurch, ISB6. The same season Sextant won Christchurch Challenge Stakes, carrying 7.4, heating Maxim 7.9, Fair Nell, 3yrs, 7.11. Sextane was then sold, to G. G. Stead, Esq., at a very high price, and in his colours won the following classic races during 1888 : Great Northern Derby (Auckland), Hawke's Bay St Lcger and Auckland St Leger. Radiant never raced. She is full sister to Utopia, Cruiser, and Quadrant, and half sister to Palliser. Her first foil* Lustre, has won several races, and is full brother to Handsome Jack. ' Sunshine, the grandam !of Radiant, won the V.R.C. Oaks, and is sister to Dagmar (winner Maribyrnong Plate), half sister to Lantern (winner V.R.C Derby and Melbourne Cup), also to Bude Light and My Dream (winner V.R.C Oaks). St Leger, sire of Handsome Jack, is now standing at a fee of 30 guineas, and is at the head of winning stallions for season 1893. his stock winning L 6.250. St Jjeger's sire, Doncaster, was sold in England for L 14.000. Robinson Crusoe and Onyx are fall brother and sister, and Onyx is dam of Nordenfeldt.
