To Slanii this Oenson in the Feildino and Bangitikei Dis.teicTß, Tbe Thoroughbred Horse, HANDSOME JACK (Foaled 1890). HANDSOME JACK is a six-year-old, ftoutly-built bay horse, standing 15 hands 2} inches high. As his name indicates, he ia a handsome horse, and *o 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 api pear almost unnecessary to refer further than to his tabulated pedigree undermentioned, but the family he has de I scended from are so rich in winning blood lhat the owner may be pardoned for just mentioning a few facts perhaps not gen» eraHy known, Handsome Jack is by St. Leger (the well known winner-producing sire), whose stock have won in New Zealand since the season 1895 6, eighty^one races, valued at £21,672. Kadiant, 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 si9ter to those fast horses Quadrant and Cruiser (sire of the Rangitikei bred Lorelei J. Robinson 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 Bace winner, Dummy, this year), while 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 conaidered 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 iVtiiribyrnong blood, which is absent from St. Hippo's pedigree Both horses are closely related on blood lines. j Il3ird ' (rti isir Hercules I _ The catcher Giuccioli___ i ' I Ear ° n Fchidna Economist : F.chidna __ Miss PraU I £, jGlcncoe q^--1 |p] ' Pociihon- Trampoline i !.?

HANDSOME JACK'S full brother, Lustre, won the Dunedin Selling Race, 100 soya, also the Dunedin Federal stakes of 200 soys, 6 furlongs, 7 0, in 118, beating Saracen, Bay Bell, Eulnine, Whakawatea, and Pique. Breeders must come to the conclusion, ter a perusal of the above particulars, that they are fortunate in haying so highly a bred young horse, and one so closely related to all the best and most valuable strains of blood to be found in Australasia. HANDSOME JACK will be limited to a Dumbar of mares. Thoroughbreds 5 guineas, and half breds at a reasonable reduction. Inspection of this son of St. Leger is invited.
