CARTHEW, Bookseller, Feilding 1 To Stand this Season in the Feilding and Kangitikki Districts, The Thoroughbred Horse, HANDSOME JACK (Foaled 189U). 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 i§ blended in this horse's pedigree. 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. liadiant, who never raced, is by that stoutly- bred sire Kobmson Crusoe, whose mares are 30 highly thought of by Australian breeders, and as Radiant is from Kadiance, this makes the dam of Hand* some Jack full si3ter to those fast horses Quadrant and Cruiser (sire of the Bangitikei bred Lorelei). Eobinson Crusoe (sire of Eadiant) is full brother to that stud #em Onyx (darn of Nordenfeldt), and Kadiance (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 ' Eace winner, Dummy, this year), while I Sunshine (dam of Radiances is also dam j 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 i seen in New Zealand of late years, will show th&t Handsome 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. 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 i thought of and tried to be a colt of con* j siderable promise. HANDSOME JACK'S full brother, Lustre, won the Sunedin Selling Eace, 100 sovb, also the Dunedin Federal i stakes of 200 sots, 6 furlongs, 7 0, in 1.18, beating Saracen, Bay Bell, Kulnine, Whakawatea, and Pique. ' Breeders must come to the conclusion, after a perusal of the above particulars, ! that they are fortunate in having so highly a bred youcg 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 reasonab'e reduction. Inspection of this son of St. Leger is invited. Splendid grazing at ' my farm at Kiwitea, near Feiiding, for one month, after that time Is 6d per week will be charged. All care wil be taken with mares, especially thoroughbred mares and their foals, for which I have special paddocks, but no responsibility will be accepted, Mares by train will be met at Feilding Bailway Station, after arrangements are made.
