JERICHO FOR STONYHURST The stallion Jericho has been bought by Sir Charles Clifford, and he will be mated with a number of Stonyhurst mares next season. Jericho was bred by Mr. G. Gould, being by Archery (imported son of Tracery) from Judith, by Martian from imported Hebrew Maid. This is a notable family. Jericho was an exceptionally smart two-year-old, but his racing career was cut short by an accident on the training track. Although he is now twelve years old, he has had only a limited chance at the stud. A few years ago he did a season at Stonyhurst. Counterscarp was one of his mates, the progeny being Counterblast, one of the most brilliant two-year-olds racing in the early part of the present season. It was doubtless on account of the deeds of this good fllly that Sir Charles was induced to buy Jericho, who should receive an excellent chance now to make a name as a sire.
