GET OONNAUGHT CHECKS MONTREAL, Que., June 21. Tommy Gorman, secretary of the Connaught Park Jockey Club, came over from Ottawa to confer with the horsemen and distribute checks among them for the purses won at the recent meeting. "Our directors held a meeting on Saturday, last, and expressed much satisfaction over the outcome of our seven days racing. Incidentally, it showed a fair profit. They announced that during our fall meeling, the dates of which are from August 13 to August 20, that several handicaps will be run ranging in value from 800 to ,000. All of the other purses will be the same as at our spring meeting. Many of the horsemen have already made stall reservations and I can promise them nothing will be left out looking to their convenience."
