To Stand this season in the Feuding and Bangitikei Districts, The Thoroughbred Horse, HANDSOME JACK (Foaled 1890). HANDSOME JACK is a six«year» old, stoutly-built bay horse, standing 15 hand? 2f inches high. 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 colonial thoroughbred blood is blended in this horse's pedigree. It wouid ap« pear almost unnecessary to refer further than to his tabulated pedigree under • mentioned, but the family he has descended from are so rich in winning blood that the owner may be pardoned for just mentioning a few facts perhaps not gen» erally knowi:. Handsome Jack is by St. Leger (the well- known winner-producine sire), whose stock hare won in New Zealand since the season 1895 6, eighty>one races, valued at £21,672, Badiant;, who never raced, is by that stoutly-bred sire Bobinson Crusoe, whose mates are so highly thought of by Australian breeders, and as Badiant is from Badiance, this makes the dam of Handsome Jack full sister to those fast horses Quadrant and Cruiser (sire of the Bangitikei bred Lorelei). Bobinson Crusoe (sire of Badiant) is full brother to that stud gem Onyx (dam of Nordenfeldt), and Badiance (dam of Badiant) is byFire* works (sire of The Mute, who is sire of the Grand National Steeplechase winner. Mutiny, and the Grand National Hurdle Eace winner, Dummy, this year), while Sunshine (dam of Badiance), 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 IN ew Zealand of late years, will show that; Handsome Jack has really a better pedigree, as he shows the valuable strain of Maribyrnong blood, which is absent from St. Hippo's pedigree Both horses are closelv related on blood lines. 1 Bir catcher Sir Her «'" _ The catcher Gui io[i I BarOtl EcS;dna Economist u Ecb£d D a Mi 55 p rat t * | Glen oe Suha^ £ "' Pocahon- Trampoline Q-o t HHin.

Breeders must come to the conclusion, t ter a perusal of the above particulars, hat they are fortunate m 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.
