WELL-BRED SIRE
SIR CHARLES CLIFFORD’S PURCHASE. SON OF THE TETRARCH. CHRISTCHURCH, April 18. 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, the wellknown Irish stud in Tipperary. Magnus is by the unbeaten grey horse, The Tetrarch (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. Magnus’s dam, Princess Dorrie, a winner of the One Thousand Guineas and the Oaks, is a half-sister to Sunstar, winner of the Two Thousand Guineas and the Derby. 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 several seasons at Captain Moore’s stud in Ireland, where ho has left some promising stock. He is expected to arrive here about September, and ho should be a valuable addition to the breeding stock of the Dominion.
