To Stand this Season in the Feiidino and Bangitikbi Dictbicts, The Thoroughbred Horse HANDSOME JACK (Foaled 1890). HANDSOME JACK is a six.yearold, stoutly-bnilt 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 pedieree. It wouid appear almost unnecessary to refer further than to hia tabulated pedigree under' mentioned, but the family he has de scended from are so rich in winning blood that the owner may be pardoned for just mentioning a few facts perhaps not gen« erally knowr, Handsomk Jack is by St. Leger (the well- known winner«producintt sire), whosp stock have won in New Zealand since the season 1895 6, eighty .one races valued at £111,672, Badiant, who never raced, is by that stoutly-bred sire Eobinson Crusoe, whose mares are so highly thought of by Australian breeders, and as Eadiant is from Eadiance, this makes the dam of Handsome Jack full sister to those fast horses Quadrant and Cruiser (sire of the Eangitikei bred Lorelei). Eobinson Crusoe (sire of Eadiant) is full brother to that stud piem Onyx (dam of Nordenfeldt), and Eaciiance (dam of Eadiant) is by Fireworks (sire of The Mute, who is sire of the Grand National Steeplechase winner. Mutiny, and the Grand National Hurdle Eace winner, Dummy, this year), while Sunshine (dam of Radiancet, is abo 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 Handsoauc 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 closely related on blood lines.

HANDSOME JACK'S full brother, Lustre, won the Dunedin Selling Sace, 100 soys, also the Dunedin Federal Stakes of 200 soys, 6 furlongs, 7 0, in 1.18, beating Saracen, Bay Bell, Eulnioe, Whakawatea, and Pique. Breeders must come to the conclusion, ter a perusal of the above particulars, '"at they are fortunate m having so highly a bred youog horse, and one so closely related to all the beet and most valuable strains of 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.
