CARTHEW, Bookselle r^eiltin 1 ! To Stand this Season in the Feildikg and jKangitikki Di>thicts, The fhorouehbred Horse, HANDSOME JACK (Foalod 1890). HANDSOME JACK is a six-jear-old, stoutly- built bay horse, htuiiding 15 hands 2f inches hish. As his name inchoates, he is a handsome horse, nnd so fashionably bred that he is well worthy the attention of breeders, The stoutest strains of the English and colonial thoronglibred blo:d is blended in this borae'a pedigree. Handsome Jack is by St. Leger (the well-known winner-prcducin? sire), whose stock have won in New Zealand since the season 1895 6, eighty »ono races, valued at £21,672. liadiant, who never raced, ia by that stoutly- bred sire Eobinson Crusoe, whose mares are so highly thought of by Australian breeders, and as Radiant is from Radiance, this makes the dam of Handsome Jack fall sister to those fast horses Quadrant and Cruiser (sire of the Rangitikei bred Lorelei;. Robinson Crusoe (sire of Badiant) is full brother to that stud g.em Onyx (dam of Nordenfeldt), and Radiance (dam of Badiant) is by Fir«-« works (sire of The Mule, who is sire of the Grand National Steeplechase winner, i Mutiny, and the Grand National Hurdle ' Bace winner, Dummy, this year), while Sunshine (dam of Sadiance), 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 that Handsome Jack has really a J ] better pedigree, as he shows the valuable strain of Maribyrnong blooal, 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, ' buti previous to that, he was highly i thought of and triod to be a colt of &ou- i siderable promise. HANDSOME JACK'S full brother, Lustre, won the Dunedin Selling Bace, 100 so y 8, also the Dunedin Federal - fc takes of 200 soys, 6 furlongs, 7 0, in 1.18, besting Saracen, Bay Bell, Kulnine, Whakawatea, and Pique. ' Breeders must oomo to the conclusion, after a perusal of the abovo particulars, that they are fortunate in having so highly c. bred youcg horse, and one so ' closely related to all tho best and most valuable strains of blood to be found in j 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 in invited. Splendid grazing at ' my farm at Eiwitea, near Feilding, for one month, after that time Is 6d per week will be charged. All care wil be taken with marea, especially thoroughbred mares and their foals, for which I have special paddocks, but no responsibility will be accepted, Marea by tram will be met at Feilding Railway Station, after arrangements are made.
