To Stand this Season in the Feuding and Ranoitikbi Distbicts, 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 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 pedieree. It wouid ap-* pear almost unnecessary to refer further than to hia tabulated pedigree undermentioned, bat the family he has descended from arc so rich in winning blood that the owner may be pardoned for just mentioning a feiv facts perhaps not generally known. Handsome Jack is by St. Leger (the well-known win ocr- producing sire), whose stock have won in New Zealand since the season 1895-6, eighty-one races, valued at £21,072. Kadiant, who never raced, is by that stoutly- bred sireßobmson 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 Rangitikei 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 Fireworks (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 bj Kood judges to be one of the best horses ?een in New Zealand of late years, will show that Handsome Jack has really a better pedigree, as he shows the valuable strain of Maribyrnong bloo<_, which is dbsent from St. Hippo's pedigree Both horses are closely related on blood lines.
