To Stand this Season in the Feuding axd Banoitikei Distbicts, The Thoroughbred Horse, HANDSOME JACK (Foaled 1890). HANDSOME JACK is a six-.year» old, stoutly- built bay horse, standing 15 hands 2j 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« I erally known, Handsome Jack is by St. Leger (the well known winner-producine sire), whose stock have won in New Zealand since the season 1895 6, eighty »ohe races, valued at £21,672. Badiant, who never raced, is by that stoutly- bred s ire ßobmson Crusoe, whose mares are so highly thought of by Australian breeders, and as Radiant is from Radiance, thin makes the dam of Handsome Jack full si3ter to those fast horses Quadrant and Cruiser (3ire of the Rangitikei bred Lorelei). Robinson Crusoe (sire of Radiant) is full brother to that stud (jem 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. Mutiny, and the Grand [National Hurdle Kace 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 closel? related on blood lines. i I I Bird- c - tt < i r . t „L.r Sir Her ules 1 _ The catcher Gui io ,. « I Glen oe suitis p; J> Pocahon- Trampoline \ < tas ..

Miss ■5 Archy Camel § Night- Garcia * light Bay Middleton Rushlight Torch Unfortunately, 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 Race, 100 soys, also the Dunedin Federal stakes of 200 sots, 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 highly a bred young horse, and one so closely related to all the best and most valuable strains of bio od 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. Splendid grazing at my farm at Kiwitea, near Feilding, for one month, after that time Is 6d per week will be charged.
