10 STAND THIS SEASON IN THE HILDING and RANGITIKEI DISTRICTS, The Thoroughbred Horse, HANDSOME JACK (Foaled 1890). HANDSOME JACK is a six-year-old, stoutly-built bae use, standing 15 hands 2f inches high. As his “amX dicates, he is a handsome horse, and so fashionably bred at he is well worthy the attention of breeders. The outest strains of the English and colonial thoroughbred ood is blended in this horse’s pedigree. Itwould appear most unnecessary to refer further than to his tabulated sdisrree undermentioned, but the family he has decended om are so rich in winning blood that the owner may e irdoned for just mentioning a few facts perhaps not is by St. Leger (the well-known inner-producing sire), whose stock have won in New Beland, since the season 1895-6, eighty-one races, valued •Rtn’uHT, who never raced, is by that stoutly-bred sire obinson Crusoe, whose mares are so highly thought of r Australian breeders, and as Radiant is from Radiance, us makes the dam of Handsome Jack full sister to those st horses Quadrant and Cruiser (sire of the Rangitikeired Lorelei). Robinson Crusoe (sire of Radiant) is iuH rother to that stud gem Onyx (dam of Nordenfeldt), and adiance (dam of Radiant) is by Fireworks (sire of The iite. who is sire of the Grand National Steeplechase inner. Mutiny, and the Grand National Hurdle Race inner. Dummy, this year), while Sunshine (dam of adiance), is also dam of Sunrise, a very successful stallion i New South Wales. A glance at St. Hippo’s pedigree, ho is considered by good judges to be one of the best orses seen in New Zealand of late years, will show that andsome Jack has really a better pedigree, as he shows le valuable strain of Maribyrnong blood, which is absent »m St. Hippo’s pedigree. Both horses are closely dated on blood lines.

HANDSOME JACK’S full brother, Lustre, won the Dunedin Selling Race, 100 sovs, also the Dunedin Federal Stakes of 200 sovs, 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 haying so highly a bred young horse and one so closely related to all the best and most valuable racing 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 fit. Leger is invited. Splendid grazing at my farm at Kiwitea, near Feilding for one month, after that time Is 6d ner week will be charged.
