Another well-bred English sire will be available in Canterbury for the next breeding season. This is the twelve-year-old Magnus, who has been secured for the Stonyhurst Stud by Sir Charles Clifford from his cousin, Captain Charles Moore, of Mooresfort Stud, a well-known Irish stud, in Tipperary. Magnus is by the unbeaten grey horse, The Tetrareh, sire of Chief Ruler and Tea Tray, from Princess Dorrie, by Your Majesty from Doris. He was bred by Mr J. B. Joel, and represents some of the most successful blood in his stud. Princess Dorrie, winner of the One Thousand Guineas and Oaks,, is a half-sister to Sunstar, winner of the Two Thousand Guineas and Derby, while the Persimmon horse, Your Majesty, the sire of Princess Dorrie, is a St. Leger winner. Magnus did a little racing and won a mile race at Newmarket as a three-year-old. He has had seyeral seasons at Captain Moore's stud in Ireland, where has has left some promising stock. He is expected to arrive here about September and he should be a valuable addition to the breeding stock of the Dominion.
