swVli__W£Sl_f__sJSu To Stand this Season in the Pbilmng akd Rangitikki Distbicts, 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 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 appear almost unnecessary to refer further than to his tabulated pedigree under* mentioned, bat 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 knowu. Handsome Jack is by St. Leger ithe well- known winner-producine sire), whose stock have won in New Zealand since the season 1895 6, eighty-one races, valued at £21.672. Radiant, who never raced, ia 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 fall 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 g»em 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 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 years, will show that Handsomb Jack has really a better pedigree, as he shows the valuable strain of Maribyrnong bloo_, which is absent from St. Hippo's pedigree Both horses are closely related on blood lines.
