CONNAUGHT PARK OPENING Attractive Inaugural Program Offered for Initial Days Racing at Ottawa Track. OTTAWA, Ont., June 5.— The Connaught Park Jockey Club, operating under the jurisdiction of the Canadian Pacing Associations and the first dub on the Quebec circuit to hold a meeting this year, will get under way here tomorrow at the Aylmer plant and, from all appearances, the racing should prove successful. Never in the brief history of the above association has there been a better class of horses quartered on the grounds and, judging from the response given the racing secretary for the opening days program, it is almost a certainty that this meeting will be the best ever held in the vicinity of Ottawa, the capital of the Dominion of Canada. For the opening days program secretary Cene Bury has arranged an excellent program of seven races, of which the main attraction is the Beaverdale Purse, a dash of three-quarters, that brings ten of the best three-year-olds at the course to sport silks. As a companion piece the Junior Purse is offered and in this eleven juveniles have been named overnight to race in nine different interests. Since the last meeting Connaught Park has been thorougiily overhauled, with the result that the plant is now one of the most picturesque racing grounds on this side of the border.
