To Stand this Season in the Fbilding and B'anoitikhi 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, but the family he has descended from are so rich in winning blood that the owner mny be pardoned for just mentioning a few facts perhaps not generally known. Handsome Jacs is by St. Leger (the well-known winner«producing sire), whose stock have won in New Zealand since the season 189EJ 6, eighty-one races, Talued at £21.672. Radiant, who never raced, is by that stoutly- bred sireitobinson Crusoe, whose mares are so highly thought of by Australian breeders, and as Badiant is from Badiance, 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 Eadiant) is full brother to that stud g.em Onyx (dam of Nordenfeldt), and Radiance (dam of Eadiant) is by Fire* works (sire of The Mute, who is sire of the Grand National Steeplechase winner. Mutiny, and the Grand National Hurdle Race winner, Dummy, this year), while Sunshine (dam of Badiance), 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 judijes 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, whicn^is absent from St. Hippo's pedigree Both horses are closely related on blood lines.

Bay Middleton Rushlight Torch Unfortunately, Handsome Jack met with an accident while in training aa 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 Bace, 100 soys, also the Dunedin Federal Stakes 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, h at they are fortunate in having so n ighly a bred young horso, and one so closely related to all the best and most valuable strains oil 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.
