he has met in Adams county. Irby won
the first and third falls. Heinrich won
the second, fourth and fifth. Jimmy

time-keepers and A. M. Davis was ref.
cree.
The preliminaries were fine. FIRST

Spence Irby and Bernard Hahn. 1t
was pretty match and ended in a
draw.
The next was wrestling match be.
tween the two big men, Clyde Long and

 The soontaniety with which the members of the Commercial Club re- sponded to the 1910 movement at the meeting Tuesday was the subject of much comment yesterday. Consider able credit for the impetus given the movement is due to Alex Rice, former President of the Club and one of the foremost citizens of Montgomery. MT. Rice not only subscribed SlO0 in his own name, but as eresident of the Montgomery Street Fair Association, he started off the fund with $l.000.
 The men who are employed by The Advertiser without the knowledge of Chairman Glass or any other member of the committee started a paper yes terday and in a few m;nutes employees of the paper had subscribed S200 to "the 1910 movement" It Is expected that this amount vii: be increased to- day. firms and corporations employing many men might start similar move- ment

All that now prevents the Montgom- cry Traction Company from connecting its tracks with those of the Montgom- erv Street Railway Is the provision in the ordinance adopted by the City Council of Montgomery In reference to providing books of twenty-tour car tickets for $l.
 the week, this provision will be with drawn from the ordinance approved by Mayor Teaeue. The City Council will probably adopt an amendment elimi- hating the feature.
 The Traction Company officials, it de- veloped at the regular meeting of the City Council last night, have agreed to all other provisions of the ordinance. These officials are not averse to the provision as to twenty-four tlckets In itself but they are averse to that pro- vision being included in the ordinance. Such hooks of tickets have already bea, rrintAd and will be sold to the nubIic at s1 per book.

 Eor awhile during the Council meet ing last night. 1t seemed as If the or dinance would be amended and the work of connecting the line would be- gin today. Sl rrtly before the close Of the meeting Alderman Gunter said that q practical agreement had been reached between members of the Committee and the officials of the Traction Com pany and If the joint committee zee O. on 1-tx and Streets ware allowed to retire 1t was thought that the matter could be settled then and there. ..,,.o.,.,,
 The Committe retired but minority of the members wanted the amendment to lie over for few days until IL could be carefully considered. ,
 The Committee reported the amend
