To Stand this Season in the Fbilding and Bakoitikbi 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 bis 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 in winning blood that the owner may be pardoned for just mentioning a I'ew facts perhaps not gen* e rally 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 stou tly- 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 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 Fire* works (sire of The Mute, who is sire of the Grand National Steeplechase winner, Mutiny, and the Grand National Hurdle Eace winner, Dummy, this year), while Sunshine (data 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 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. 1 Bir catch e r Sir H " «>e« = The catcher Gui ioli I Baron l? on0 ™ st -j Miss Pratt « | Glen oe sUitaE jj " J Pocahon- Trampoline S _^_ Marpess^S Q | Tedding- vulture & ton MiMTwick.

HANDSOME JACK'S full brother, Lustre, won the Dunedin Selling Race, 100 soys, aluo the Dunedin Federal b takes 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, "at they are fortunate in having so D ighly a bred young horse, and one so closely related to all the best and most valuable strains of blood to be found in Australasia.
