To Stand this rieason in the ?EILWAO AND RaNOITIKBI DISTRICTS, The Thoroughbred Horse, HANDSOME JACK (Foaled 1890). HANDSOME JACK is a six»year-> old, stoutly- built bay horse, standing 15 hands 2f inches high. As tiis name indicates, he is a handsome iiorse, and so fashionably bred that he is well worthy the attention of breeders, Fhe stoutest strums 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 undermentioned, 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-producine sire), whose stock have won in New Zealand since the season 1895 6, eighty.one races, valued at £21,672. Karhant, who never raced, is by that .stoutly- bred sire llobinson Crusoe, whose mares are so highly thought of by Australian breeders, and as Kadiant is from Radiance, t his makes the dam of Handsome Jack full sifter to those fast horses Quadrant and Cruiser (sire of the Bangi tikei bred Lorelei J. Robinson Crusoe (sire of Radiant) is full brother to that stud gem Onyx (dam of iN'ordenfeldt), 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 Kood judges to be one of the best horses seen in New Zealand of late years, will show that Handsome Jack has really a better pediurec, as he shows the valuable strain of IVSaribyrnong blood, which is absent from St. Hippo's pedigree Both horses are closely related on blood lines. 1 it Bir:l- c . „ ■ ' I g~^ I . •-> , , - Miss Pratt ! hiJ5 Olen Oe Sultan ■ -,r\ Poc.ihon- Trampoline ' i<!
