HANDSOME JACK is a six-year" old, stoutly- built hay 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 otrams of the English and colonial thoroughbred blood is blended in this horse' 8 pedigree. Handsome J ace 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 Ro bmson Crusoe, whose mares are so highly thought of by Australian breeders, and as Badiant is from Badiance, this makes the dam of Handsome Jack full sister to those fast horses Quadrant and Cruiser (sire of the Bangitikei bred Lorelei). Robinson Crusoe (sire of Badiant) is full brother to that stud gem Onyx (dam of Nordenfeldt), and Radiance (darn 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 Bace 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 tbe 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 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 thought of and tried lo be a colt of considerable promise. HANDSOME JACK'S full brother, Lustre, won the Dunedin Selling Bace, 100 soys, also the Dunedin Federal 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 young horse, and one so closely related to all the best and most valuable strains of blood to be found in Australasia. HANDBOME JAOK 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 gracing at my farm at Kiwitea, near Feilding, for one month, after that time Is 6d per week will be charged.
