To Stand this Season in the Feuding and Bangitikei Districts, The Thoroughbred Horse, HANDSOME JACK (Foaled 1890). HANDSOME JACK is a six»year» old, stoutly-built bay horse, standing 15 hands 2j inches hiih. As his name indicates, he is a handsome hor9e, 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 tabalated pedigree under* mentioned, but the family he has descended from are so rich in winning blood that the owner may be pardoned for just mentioning a few facts perhaps not gen» erally known, Hanmomb Jack is by St. Leger ithe well-known winner-produoinK sire), whose stock have won in New Zealand since tha season 1895-6, eighty .one races, valued at £21,672. Hadiant, who never raced, is by that stoutly-bred sire Bobmson Crusoe, whose mares are so highly thought of by Australian breeders, and as Radiant is from Kadiance, this makes the dam of Handsome Jack full mater to those fast horses Quadrant and Cruiser (sire of the Bangitikei bred Lorelei). Kobinson Crusoe (sire of Radiant) is full brother to that stud gem Onyx (dam of Nordenfeldt), and Radiance (dam of Radiant) is by Fire^ works (sire of The Mute, who is sire of the Grand National Steeplechase winner, Mutiny, and the Grand National Hurdle Biice winner, Dummy, this year), whi'e Sunshine (dam of Radiance 1 , 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 judges 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 JVlaribyrnong blood, which is absent from St. Hippo's pedigree Both horses are closely related on blood line 9. 1 Bird \ r - Sir Hercules = The Gu i ccioli___ ■ t Baron Economist 1j Echidna _ Miss praU K S Glencoe Sulia - £i Pocahon- Trampoline % Marpess ? _ C|ar / X „ ...

HANDSOME JACK'S full brother, Lustre, won the Dunedin Selling Race, 100 soys, also the Dunedin Federal Stakes of 1200 sots, 6 furlongs, 7 0, in 1.18, beating Saracen, Bay Bell, Kulnine, Whakawatea, and Pique.
