To Stand this rieason in the Feuding ajjd Bangitikei Di^tbicts, The Thoroughbred Horse, HANDSOME JACK (Foaled 1890). HANDSOME JACK is a six-year* old, stoutly -built bay horse, standing 15 hands &% inches hich. As his name indicates, he is a handsome horse, and so fashionably bred that he i; well worthy the attention of breeders, The stoutest strains of the English and colonial thoronghbred blood is blended in this horse's pedigree. It wouid appear almost unnecesaary to refer further than to lii:* tabulated pedigree under* mentioned, but 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. Handsome Jack is by St. Leger (the well known winner-producing sire), whosp stock have won in New Zealand since the season 1895 6, eighty»one races, valaed 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, and as Kadiant is from Radiance, this makes the dam of Handsome Jack full sister to those fast horses Quadrant and Cruisor (sire of the Rangitikei bred Lorelei). Robinson Crusoe (sire of Eadiant) is full brother to that stud gem Onyx (dam of Nordenfeldt), and Radiance (dam of Kadiant) 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 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 HAWDsOiVtB Jack has really * better pedigrer, as he shows the valuable strain of flilaribyrnong bloo<i, which is absent frota St. Hippo's pedigree Both horses are closely related on blood lines. , I i Baron Economist I „* Echidna. _ Miss Pratt i \ X 'B Glcncoe } Suh;ln i \t\ ' Potation- |Trampoline | ;a!, T «idin E .

Miss "I Archy Camel Ni|;ht- Garcia light Bay Middleton ' Rushlight Torch Unfortunately, Handsome Jack met with an accident while in training as a two-year old and could not be raced, but, previous to that, he was bighly thought of and tried to be a colt of considerable promise. HANDSOME JACK'S full brother, Lustre, won the Dunedin Selling Race, 100 soys, also the Dunedin Federal fctakos of 200 soys, 6 furlongs, 7 0, in 1.18, beating Saracen, Bay Bell, Kulnine, Whakawatea, and Pique. Breeders must come to the conclusion, ter a perusal of the above particulars, fc hat 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 be found id Australasia. HANDSOME 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.
