To Stand this Season in the Feildino and Banoitikei Disteicts, The Thoroughbred Horse, HANDSOME JACK j (Foaled 1890). HANDSOME JACK is a seven-year old, stoatlyvbuilt bay horse, standing 15 hands 3 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. It would ap* pear almost unnecessary to refer farther than to his tabulated pedigree undermentioned, but the family he has descended from are so rich in winning blood that the owner may be pardoned for just mentioning a few facts perhaps aot generally known. Radiant, who never raced, is by that stoutly»bred sire Robinson Crusoe, whose mares are so highly thought of by Australian breeders, and as Radiant is from Radiance this makes the dam of Hand* some Jack fell sister to those fast horses Queidrant and Cruiser (sire of theEangitikeibred Lorelei). Robinson Crusoe (sire of Radiant) is full brother to that stud gem Onyx (dam of Nordenfeldt), and Rndiance (dam of Radiant) is by Fireworks (sire of The Mute, who is sire of the Grand National Steeplechase winner, Mutiny, and and the Grand National Hurdle Race winner, Dummy, last year), while Sunshine (dam of Radiance), is also dam of Sunri«c, a very successful st«lhon in .New South Wale*. A glance at St. Hippo's pedigree, who is considered by good judges to be one of the best horses seen in New Zealand cf late years, wi;l show that Handsouk Jace has really a better pedigree, is he shows the valuable strain of Maribyr- . nong blood, which is absent from St. Hippo's pedign-e. Koth horses are closely related on blood lines. Iri^h Bird- Sir Hercules I The 1 catcher Guiccoli ■ — Baror. H 1 r.conomist 1.5 Kchidna_ Miss Pratt jc Glencoe iiltan ,x Pocah- i Trampoline !t ontaf!
