ASK ATHLETIC.
FIELD ASHORSE
GROUND.
Petition to City School Of
ficials Drafted in Pre-
liminary Step
WOULD PUT FIELD
IN GOOD CONDITION

Officials of the Hendersonville
Horse Show association this morn
ing drafted petition, addressed
to members of the city school
board, requesting that the high
school athletic field be made avail
able this summer for the staging
of Hendersonville's third annual
horse show. .
The petition as finally drafted
will be signed by members Of the
show association, and will be en-
dorsed by the signatures of Off
GERS of the Chamber of Commerce,
Rotary and Kiwanis clubs, city Of
ficials, and other interested organ
izations.
The petition is the result of a
meeting of horse show officials,
members of the Chamber of Com
merce, and others, held last night
at the State Trust Co., at which
time plans for the show this year
were thoroughly discussed.
The petition will point out to
the school board members that
Hendersonville has staged highly
successful horse shows in the past
two years; that the show here is
row. firmly established on the
southern circuit; that local people
and horse show exhibitors are now
looking forward to the third show
here; that in order to maintain a
place on the southern circuit it is
necessary to have show this
year, and that careful and ex-
haustive survey reveals that the
only available place for the show
this year is the athletic field.
The petition also pledges the
association to be responsible for
putting the field back in first class
shape after the show.
These points embodied in the
petition were discussed at the
meeting last night and their in
clusion was based upon concensus
of opinion of the group.
Plans for a permanent horse
show ground were discussed, but
the group was unanimous in the
opinion that such grounds could
not be provided in time for the
show this summer. The group was
of the firm opinion that such per-
manent grounds would be provid-
ed in time for a show in 1889.
Some work has already been
done on the athletic field, and
the association is aware of the
fact that plans have been made
for planting grass on the field.
However, the association was
of the opinion that the impor-
lance of holding a horse show this
summer and maintaining a place
on the southern circuit was so
great that school officials might
be asked to defer planting the
grass until after the show. the
dates for which have been set as
3 and 4.
The association is cooperating
with the Centennial committee by
placing the dates on the two days

IMPROVED BOYD PARK WILL
BE READY FOR INAUGURATION
OFSEASON ON MONDAY NIGHT
Final Touches Applied To.
day: Tennis Matches
: To Be Feature

Final arrangements for the for,
NAL opening of Boyd Park, the
city's leading recreation center
were being completed today, and
everything will be in readiness
for the opening on Monday night,
June IS.
The formal opening was moved
up a couple of days in order to
fall on the 18th, Bert A. Boyd's
lucky day.
Workmen today were complet-
ing work on four new shuttle
board courts, light poles had been
installed for lighting two of the
tennis courts, and installation of
a new lighting system for the
SWITCHBOARD courts was almost
completed.
This work is being done thru
the generosity of Mr.. Boyd, who
originally made the park and
playground possible through a
gift of $500.
The park will be opened and
Home Folks week inaugurated on
Monday night. During the whole
of next week the facilities for
recreation will be free to home
folks and visitors and contests
will be staged at SWITCHBOARD and
tennis by various civic groups
and other organizations. Prizes
of season park tickets will be
awarded to high scorers and win
ners.
Lighting of the tennis courts is
an innovation in this section, and
will place Hendersonville in the
fore of cities in night sports. The
lighting system is the most mod
ern available and will give suffi-
cient illumination for the playing
of class A tennis at night.
Formal opening of the tennis
courts will take place with spe-
cial exhibition matches, or match
es by some of the city's leading
tennis players, including Mel
Lane, city champion, John Steph-
ems, Bob Anders, Ivan Smith,
Charlie Cheves, H. A. Smith, Pete
Stokes and George Fain.
