To Stand this Season in the ?EII.DING AND BaNGITIKEI DI&TBICTS, J The Thoroughbred Horse, I HANDSOME JACK (Foaled 1890). HANDSOME JACK is a six>year» old, stoutly- bnilt bay horse, standing 15 hands 2f inches bmh. As bis name indicates, he is a handsome horse, and so fashionably bred that he is well worthy the attention of breeders, Ihe stoutest strains of the English and colonial thoroughbred blood is blended in this horse's pedieree, It wouid appear almost unnecessary to refer further than to his tabulated pedigree under* mentioned, but the family he has de scended from are so rich m winning blood that the owner may be pardoned for just mentioning a few facts perhaps not generally known, Handsome Jack is by St. Leger Uhe well-known winner-producine sire), whose stock have won in New Zealand since the season 1895 6, eighty.one races, valued at £21,(572. Radiant, who never raced, is by that stoutly-bred sire Robinson Crusoe, whose mares are so highly thought of by Australian breeders, and as Radiant is from Radiance, this makes the dam of Handsome Jack full sister to those fast horses Quadrant and Cruiser (sire of the Rangitikei bred Lorelei). Robinson Crusoe (sire of Radiant) is full brother to that stud gem Onyx (dam of IVordenfeldt), 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 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, wlio 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 Manbyrnong blood, which is absent from St. Hippo's pedigree Both horses are closely related on blood lines. 1 Bird - .

HANDSOME JACK'S full brother, Lustre, won the Dunedin Selling Eace, 100 soys, also the Dunedin Federal c takes of 200 sots, 6 furlongs, 7 0, in 1.18, beating Saracen, Bay Bell, Kulnine, Whakawatea, and Pique. Breeders must come to the conclusion, after a perusul 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 strains of blood to bo found in Australasia.
