To Stand this oensou in the Feildisg and Bangitikei Dis-tbicts, The Thoroughbred Horse, HANDSOME JACK (Foaled 1890). HANDSOME JACK is a six^y earold, stoutly-built bay horse, standing 15 hands 2f inches high. As bis 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 colonial thoroughbred blood is blended in this horse's pedinree. 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 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-prcducinn 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 nireßobinson 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 Rangi tikei bred I»orelei). Robinson Crusoe (sire of Radiant) is full brother to that stud gem Onyx (dam of Nordenfeldt), and Radiance (dam of Radiant) is by Fireworks (sire of The Mute, who is sire of the Grand National Steeplechase winner. Mutiny, and the Grand National Hurdle fiace 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 £ood judges to be one of the best horses seen in IS ew Zealand of late years, will *how that Handsome Jack has really a better pedigree, as he shows the valuable strain of Maribyrnong: blood, which is übsent from St. Hippo's pedigree Both horses are closely related on blood lines i jl Bird- c . „ , | _ The ! catcher S lrH " ules i jl Economist 1 |.

HANDSOME JACK'S full brother, Lustre, won the Dunedin Selling Race, 100 soys, alao the Dunedin Federal b takes of 200 soys, 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, bat 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 reasonab'e reduction. Inspection of this son of St. Leger is invited.
