To Stand this Season in the Feildino and Eangitikei Districts, The Thoroughbred Horse, HANDSOME JACK fFoaled 1890). HANDSOME JACK is a s_x»year» old, .toutly- built bay horse, standing 15 hands 2f inches high. As liis 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 pediurec. It wouid appear almost unnecessary to refer further than to his tabulated pedigree under* mentioned, but the family he has descended from arc 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-producing sire), whose stock have won in Now Zealand since the season 1895-6, eighty-one races, valued at £21.672. Radiant, who never raced, is by that stoutly- bred sire Bobinson Crusoe, whose mares are so highly thought of by Australian breeders, and as Badiant is from Radiance, thin makes the dam of Handsome Jack full sister to those fast horses Quadrant and Cruiser (aire of the Rangitikei bred Lorelei). Bobinson Crusoe (sire of Badiant) is full brother to that stud #em Onyx (dam of Nordenfeldt), and Radiance (dam of Radiant) 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 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 Handsomk Jack has really a better pedigree, as he shows the valuable strain of Maribyrnong blooal, which is nbsent from St. Hippo's pedigree Both horses are closely related on blood lines. j I Bird- -. „ _ The catcher S' r Her ules — me Gui ioli 1 > Baron „ ■. !

Miss « Archy Camel § Night- Garcia w light Bay Middieton 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'B full brother, Lustre, won the Dunedin Selling Bace, 100 soys, also the Dunedin Federal Stakes of 200 soys, 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 "ighly a bred young horse, and one so closely related to all the best and most valuable strains of blood to be found in Australasia.
