To Stand this Season in the Gilding an:d Bangitikfi Districts, The Thoroughbred Horse, HANDSOME JACK (Foaled 1890). HANDSOME JACK is a six»year» old, stoutly- built bay horse, standing 15 hands 2| inches high. As lis name indicates, be is a handsome norse, and so fashionably bred that he is well worthy the attention of breeders, Che stoutest Htrains of the English and colonial thoroaghbred blood is blended n this horse's pediuree. It wouid ap« pear almost unnecessary to refer further than to his tabulated pedigree under* mentioned, but the fnmily he haa 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-prcducinir sire), whose stock Lave won in New Zealand since the season 1895 6, eighty»one races, valued at £21.672. Badiant, who never raced, is by that stoutly- bred sire Bobmson Crusoe, whose mares are so highly thought of by Australian breeders, and as Badiant 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 rmm« n m Onyx (dam of Nordenfeldt), and Radiance (dam of Eadiant) is by Fires works (sire of The Mute, who is sire of the Grand National 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, 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.

M light Bay Middleton Rushlight Torch Unfortunntely, Handsome Jack met with an accident while in 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 Sace, 100 soys, also the Dunedin Federal Kakes of 200 soys, 6 furlongs, 7 0, in 118, 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 highly a bred young horse, and one so closely related to all the best and most valuable strains of blood to be found in Australasia. HANDSOME JACK will be limited to a number of mares. Thoroughbreds 5 guineas, and half breds at a reasonable reduction. Inspection of this son of St. Leger is invited.
