Another well-known 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 well-known 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 D<oris. 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 wanner. 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 he. has left some promising stock. He is expected to arrive hero about September, and he should be a valuable addition to the breeding stock of th Dominion. —(P.A.)
