Limit Fields Face Starter Opening Day
Opening day of the Business Men's Racing Association meeting at the Fair Grounds features six races with three starting fields limited to three or four entries. The mile handicap was replaced by a high class claiming contest at a mile and seventy yards, and the feature race shows four entries. The first race starts at 2 30 p m with the opening day entries listed for the program. Nashville uproar over removing the rocking horse statue of Old Hickory from Lafayette Square prompts joint protests from local historical groups and a plan to petition President Harding and the Tennessee legislature. County board of revenue may sue to force city to share juvenile court costs and to recover expenses already incurred, with discussions on taxing private motor vehicles to fund road maintenance and possible legislative amendments to auto license fees.
