To Stand this Season in the FEILDING AND KaNGITIKEI DIbTHICTS, The Thoroughbred Horse, HANDSOME JACK (Foaled 1890). HANDSOME JACK is a six»year» old, stoutly-built hay horse, standing 15 hands 2% inches hn:h. As his name indicates, he is a handsome horse, and so fashionably bred that he is well worthy the attention of breeders. The stoutest strains of the English and colonia.l thoroughbred blood is blended in tins; horse's pedigree. It wouid ap» pear almost unnecessary to refer further than to his tabulated pedigree undermentioned, but the family he has de scended from are so rich in winning blood that the owner may ba pardoned for just mentioning a few facts perhaps not gen» erally knowii. Hakdsome Jack is by St. Leger (the well-known winaer-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, and as Radiant is from Radiance, this makes the dam of Handsome Jack full sister to those fast horses Quadrant and Uruiser (sire of the Rangt tikei bred LoreleiJ. Robinson Urusoe (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 Race winner, Dummy, this year), whi'e 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 Maribyrnong bloo_, which is absent from St. Hippo's pedigree Both horses are closely related on blood lines.

HANDSOME JACK'S full brother, Lustre, won the Dunedin Selling Race, 100 soys, also the Dunedin Federal I? takes of 200 soys, 6 furlongs, 7 0, in 118, beating Saracen, Bay Bell, Kulnine, Whakawatea, and Pique. Breeders must come to the conclusion, ter a perusal of the above particulars, 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 in 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.
