HANDSOME JACK is a sixsyear* old, stoutly- built bay horse, standing 15 hands 2f 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 strums of the English and colonial thoroughbred blood is blended in this horse's pedigree, Handßomk 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. Kadiant, who never raced, is by that stoutly- bred sire Bobmson Crusoe, whose mares are co highly thought of by Australian breeders, and as Badiant is from Radiance, this makes the dam of Handsome Jack full sister to those fast horses Quadrant and Cruiser (sire of the Bangitikci bred Lorelei). Robinson Crusoe (sire of Radiant) is full brother to that stud gem Onyx (dam of Nordenfeldt), and Radiance (dam of Radiant) i% by Fire* works (sire of The Mute, who is sire of the Grand National Steeplechase wiener, Mutiny, and the Grand National Hurdle Race 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 the best horses seen in New Zealand of late years, will show that Hanmomk Jack has really a better pedigree, us he shows the valuable strain of Maribjrnong 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 aighly thought of and tried to be a colt of considerable promise. HANDSOME JACK'S full brother, Lustre, won the Dunedin Selling Race, 100 bovb, also the Dunedin Federal Stakes of 200 SOY 3, 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. HANDSOME JACK will be limited to a number of mares. Thoroughbreds 5 guineas, and half bredfl at a reasonable reduction. Inspection of this son of St. Leger is invited. Splendid grazing at my farm at Kiiritea, near Feilding, for one month, after that time Is 6d per week will be charged. All carewil be taken with mares, especially thoroughbred mares and their foals, for which I have special paddocks, but np responsibility will be accepted, Mares by tram will be met at Feilding Bailway Station, after arrangements are made.
