To Stand this Reason in the Feildikg md Banoitikei Districts, The Thoroughbred Horse, HANDSOME JACK (Foaled 1890). HANDSOME JACK is a six>year« old, stoutly- built bay horse, xtanding 15 hands 2f- inches hi, r b. As his name iodicates, he is 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 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 faots perhaps not gen* erally knowu. Handsome Jack is by St. Leger (the well-known winner-producing sir*'), 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-brod sire Robinson Crusoe, whose mares are fio highly thought of by Australian breeders, and as Radiant is from Radiance, this makes the dnm of Handsome Jack full sister to those fast horses Quadrant tind Cruiser (sire of the Rangitikei bred Lorelei). Robinson Crusoe (sire of Radiant) is full brother to that stud gem Onyx (d:im of Nordenfeldt), and Rudiance (dam of Badiant) is by Fireworks (sin; 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, who is considered by £OOii judges to he one oi 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: blooal, which is absent from St. Hippo's pedigree Both horses are closely related on blood lines.

HANDSOME JACK'S full brother, Lustre, won the Bunedin Selling: Eace, 100 soys, also the Dunedin Federal t- 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, t ter a perusal of the above particulars, liat 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.
