To Stand this Season in the Gilding and Bangitikbi Distbicts, ( The Thoroughbred Horse, HANDSOME JACK (Foaled 1890). ' HANDSOME JACK is a six~year» old, stoutly- built bay horse, itanding 15 hands 2| inches high. As ■ lis name indicates, he is a handsome . [lorse, and to fashionably bred that he is well worthy the attention of breeders, Dhe stoutest strains of the English and :olonial thoroughbred blood is blended n this horse's pedigree. It wouid appear almost unnecessary tojcefer further than to his tabulated pedigree under* mentioned, but the family he has de* scended from an; so rich in 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-producing sire), whose stock have won in New Zealand since the season 1895-6, oighty.one races, valued at £21,672. Radiant, who never raced, is by that stoutly-bred sire Robmson 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 Fires 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), 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 judges to be one of the best horses seen in New Zealand of late years, will show that Handsomb 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.

Night- 5^5: light Bay Middleton ' Rushlight Torch Unfortunately, Handsome Jack met with an accident while iv training as a two-year-old and could not be raced, but, previous to that, he was highly thought of and tried to be a colt of considerable promise. HANDSOME JACK'S 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, Baj Be^Kulnine, Whakawatea, and Pique.
