To Stand this Season in the FKtLDING kST> BA.NOITIKEI DISTBICTSi The Thoroughbred Horse, HANDSOME JACK (Foaled 1890). HANDSOME JACK is a six^y earold, stoutly- built bay horse, standing 15 v ads 2£ inches high. As his name indicates, iie is a handsome horse, and so fashionably bred that he is well worthy the attention of breeders, The stoutest strains of the English and colonial thoroughbred blood is blended in this horse's pedigree. It wouid appear almost unnecessary to refer further than to his tabulated pedigree under* mentioned, bat the family he has de scended from are so rich in winning blood that the owner may be pardoned for just , mentioning a few facts perhaps not gen« ' erally known, Handsomi; Jack is by St. Leger (the well-known winner-producine sire), whose stock have won in New Zealand since the season 1895-6, eighty.one races, valued at £21,672, Radiant, who never raced, is by that stoutly-bred sire Robinson Crusoe, whose mares are so highly thought of by Australian breeders, und as Radiant is from Radiance, this makes the dam of Handsome Jack full sister to those fast horses Quadrant and Cruiser (aire of the Rangr tikei bred Lorelei). Robinson Crußoe (sire of Radiant) is full brother to that stud gem Onyx (dara of Nordenfeldt), and Radiance (dam of Radiant) is by Fireworks (sire of The Mute, who is sire of the Grand National Steeplechase winner. Mutiny, and the Grand National Hurdle Race winner, Dummy, this year\ while Sunshine (dam of Radiance), is also dam of Sunrise, a very successful stallion in New South Wales. A glance at St. Hippo's pedigree, who is considered by good judj^ej to be one of the best horses seen in New Zealand of late years, will show that Handsome Jack has really a better pedigree, as he shows the valuable strain of MCaribjrnoag blood, which is absent from St. Hippo's pedigree Both horses are closely related on blood line 9.

HANDSOME JACK'S full brother, Lustre, won the Dunedin Selling Bace, 100 soys, also the Dunedin Federal Stakes of 200 sots, 6 furlongs, 7 0, in 1.18, beating Saracen, Bay Bell, Kulnine, Whakawntea, and Pique. Breeders must come to the conclusion, after a perusal of the above particulars, that they are fortunate in having so highly a bred young horse, and one so closely related to all the best and most valuable Btrains of bio od to be found in Australasia. HANDBOME JACK will be limited to a number of mares, Thoroughbreds 5 guineas, and half breds at a reasonable reduction. Inspection of this son of St. Leger is invited.
