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, aud so fashionably bred that he is well worthy the attention of breeders. The stoutest strains of the English and colonial thoronghbred blood is blended in this horse's pedigree. Handsohb Jack is by St. Leger (the well-known winner-producine sire), whose stock have won iv 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 those fast horses Quadrant and Cruiser (sire of the Rangitikei bred Lorelei). Robinson Crusoe (sire of Badiant) is full brother to that stud gem. Onyx (dam of Nordenfeldt), and Radiance (dam of Radiant) is by Fire^ works (si_e of The Mute, who is sire of the Grand National Steeplechase winner, 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 oi late years, will show that Hakdsomb Jack has really a better pedigree, as he shows the valuable strain of Maribyrnong blood, which is absent from St. Hippo's pedigree Roth horses are closely related on blood lines. Unfortunately, Handsome Jack met with an accident whde in training as a two-year old aud could not be raced, but, previous to that, he was Highly thought of and tried to be a colt of con* siderable promise. HANDSOME JACK'S full brother, Lustre, won the Dunedin Selling Race, 100 soys, also the Dunedin Federal Stakes of 200 sors, 6 furlongs, 7 0, in 1.18, beating Saracen, Ray Rell, 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 «. 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 breds at a reasonable reduction. Inspection of this son of St. Leger in invited.
