HANDSOME JACK is a six-»year» old, stoutly-bmlt 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 is blended in this horse's pedigree, Handsomb 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. Eadiant, who never raced, is by that stontly-hred sire Bobmson Crusoe, whose mares are bo highly thought of by Australian breeders, and as Badtaut is from Radiance, 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 Radiant) is full brother to that stud gem Onyx (dam of Nordenfeldt), and Radiance (dam of Radiant) is by Fire*, works (sire of The Mute, who ia sire of the Grand National Steeplechase winner, Mutiny, and the Grand National Hurdle Race winner, Dummy, this year), while Sunshine (dam of Radiances is alao 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 Hawdsomb Jack has really a better pedigree, as he shows the valuable strain of Maribjrnong blood, which is absent from St. Hippo's pedigree Both horses are clo9elv 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 to be a colt of con. siderable promise. HANDBOMB JACK'S full brother, Lustre, won the Dunedin Soiling Race, 100 soys, also the Dunedin Federal Stakes of 200 soys, 6 furlongs, 7 0, in 1.18, beating Saracen, Bay Bell, Kulnine, Whakawatea, and Pique. Breeders must oome to the conclusion, after a perusal of the above particulars, that they are fortunate in having so highly a bred yourg horse, and one so closely related to all the best and most valuable strains of blood to be found in Australasia. . j , HANDBOME 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 is 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 mares, especially thoroughbred mares and their foals, for which I have special paddocks, but no responsibility will be accepted, Mares by tram will be met at Feilding Railway Station, after arrangements are made.
