To Stand this Season in the Feuding an» Banoitikbi 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 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 ap-« pear 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 few facts perhaps not gen« | erally 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. Eadiant, who never raced, is 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 sister to those fast horses Quadrant and Cruiser (sire of the Rangitikei bred Lorelei). Robinson Crusoe (sire of Badi&nt) 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 Niitional Steeplechase winner, Mutiny, 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, wlio is considered by good judges to be one of the best horses seen in New Zealand of late jears, will show that Handsome Jack has really a better pedigree, as he shows the valuable strain of Maribyrnong blood, which is absent from !3t. Hippo's pedigree Both horses are closely related on blood lines. 1 Sir Her vI <* _ The catcher Gui ioli * Bjir ° n FrMHn* Economist •3 Echidna _ Mjss pratt « I Glen oe Sultan p Poeahon- Trampoline < tas „ Miiley""" % Marpessa c , af / L T ... _ Orland " Tou hstorie a I Tedding- Vulture & «°n MissTwick- Rokingham - i, 3 _enham Ele tress !5 S Ratan Buzzard ■O Daughter Daughter of Pi ton I" of „ .. .Melbourne H — Daughter of s^ lh !*-* „. , Pantaloon Carrel 1/3 Wind " , Idalia -2 hound Touhstone — 3 Phryne D e oy I Muley MuT^y _ I % Alice Moloch Nany & z H Haw- Lottery 52 2 thorne Rebecca D tr nf Cprvantfs 5 lon Cain 'f- « wi "d „ Margaret O a Dayrell E ,, en BTMiddleton — -c _Middleton Myrrha ,jj 3 Scutari Sultari S x Midia Velvet 0 .

HANDSOME JACK'S full brother, Lustre, won the Dunedin Selling Race, 100 soys, also the Dunedin Federal fc takes of 200 soys, (3 furlongs, 7 0, in 118, beating Saracen, Bay Bell, Eulnine, Whakawatea, and Pique. Breeders must come to the conclusion, fc ter a perusal of tbe above particulars, , h at they are fortunate in having so n ighly a bred young horse, and one bo c losely related to all the best and most valuable strains oi blood to be found in Australasia.
