To Stand this Season in the Feilihng anj> Bangitikbi Districts, ' 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 pediaree. 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 New Zealand since the season 1895-6, eighty»one races, valued at £21,672. Radiant, who never raced, is by that stoutly-bred sire Robinson Crusoe, whose mares are so highly thought of by Aus. tralian breeders, and as Radiant is from Radiance, this makes the dam of Handsome Jack full sister to (hose fast horses Quadrant and Cruiser (sire of the Rangitikei bred Lorelei). Robinson Crusoe (sire of Radiant) is full brother to that stud pern 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), whi!e Sunshine (dam of Radiance), is also dam of Sunrise, ;i very successful stallion in New South Wales. A glance at St. Hippo's pedigree, who is considered by good jud«e9 to be one of the best; horses ! seen in New Zealand of late years, will show that Hajjdsomk Jack has really a better pedigref, 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 i I Bird- „. .. -The catcher S lrH f r ,. llles . — lne r , Gui io i i ■« \t I'.aron ,=. : - ■S Echidna f. coao ™ ist I ?! r . -Miss Pratt I j l lll" 1 Pocaaon- Trampoline _ I-c Tedding- OrlamiO Tou hstone— *^ ra r^ie iress ! 2 * RaUn BUIziS 0 Daughter Daughter of Pi ton }-1 Daughter of W^«"»-- --% Wind- I)antal °° n f««l 1 >. hound Idaha - c „.

HANDSOME JACK'S full brother, Lustre, won the Dunedin Selling Race, 100 soys, also the Dunedin Federal Stakes of 200 soys, 6 furlongs, 7 0, in 1.18, beating Saracen, Bay Bell, Eulnine, Whakawatea, and Pique. Breeders must come to the conclusion, t^ter a perusal of the above particulars, , at they are fortunate in having bo ghly a bred yourg horse, and one so closely related to all the best 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. Splendid grazing at my farm at Eiwitea, near Feilding, for one month, after that time Is 6d per week will be charged.
