To Stand this reason in the Feilmno and Bangitikbi Di»tbicts, 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 thp English and colonial thoroaghbred 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 descended 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), 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 Cruiser (sire of the Rangi tikei bred Lorelei). Robinson Crusoe (sire of Radiant) is full brother to that stud gem Onyx (dam of Nordenfeldt), and Radiance (dam of Radiant) is by rTire~ works (sire of The Mute, who is sire of the Grand National Steeplechase winner. Mutiny, and the Grand National Hurdle Kace 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, who is considered by good judsjes 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 blood, which is absent from St. Hippo's pedigree Both horses are closely related on blood lines.

HANDSOME JACK'B full brother, Lustre, won the Dunedin Selling Race, 100 soys, also the Dunedin Federal stakes 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, hat they tire 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 A ii s __*_&.! & si & HANDSOME JACK will be limited to a number of mares.
