To Stand this Season in the Feilding and Ranoitikbi Districts, The Thoroughbred Horse, HANDSOME JACK (Fcaled 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 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 m winning blood that the owner may be pardoned for just mentioning a few facts perhaps not gen« erally known, Handsomb 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,(572. Kadiant, who never raced, ia 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 siater to those fast horses Quadrant and Cruiser (sire of the Rangi ttkei 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. Vlutiay, and the Grand National Hurdle Bace 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 jud£es 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' 3 pedigree Both horses are closely related on blood lines.

HANDSOME JACK'S full brother, Lustre, won the Punedin Selling Bace, 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.
