To Stand this Season in the Feilding and Bakgitikei Districts, The Thoroughbred Horse, HANDSOME JACK (Foaled 1890). HANDSOME JACK is a six»year» old, stoutly- built bay horse, standing 15 hands Sf 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 pedicree, 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 generally known. Handsome Ji.cK 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. Radiant, who never raced, is by that stoutly-bred si re Robins on 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 Radiant) is full brother to that stud piem 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 Race winner, Dummy, this year), while Sunshine (dam of Radiance 1 , 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 pedigroc, as he shows the valuable strain of Maribyrnong blooi, which is absent from St. Hippo's pedigree Both horses are closely related on blood lines. !

HANDSOME JA.CK'B full brother, Lustre, won the Dunedin Selling Bace, 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 mnst come to the conclusion, t. ter a perusal of the above particulars, , at they are fortunate in having so 'ghly a bred young horse, and one so closely related to all the best and most valuable strains of blood to be found in Australasia.
