 Much interst centers in the football game, as Captain Paterson, of the Montgomery Greays team. has mus tered some of the best football talent ever turned out in Montgomery to play against the second team from the Ala bama Polytechnic Institute. While The team which comes over from Auburn is the second one, it is but little below the Varsity in strength, and has scored many times against the regulars this year. The squad is made up of those who were on the Varsity squad, but who had to give way to more expe- rienced men, and in many instances it Is toss up between the strength of the Varsity and the scrub players.
 The line up of the Montgomery team tnIs afternoon will be as fol- lows: Pierce. c; Poundstone, l. s.; Moriarity. l. g.; Levy, l. t.; W. Pater- son, r. t.; Mcqueen, r. e.s I. H. Eater. son, l. e.; Perkins. q. b.; Lacey. f. b.; Herndon, T. h. b.; J. P. Paterson, l. h. b.
 The Auburn boys will arrive in the city early this morning and promise a hard fought battle. Captain Paterson has been drilling his men hard in preparation for this battle, and conf. dently expects to win.
 Interest fin Auto Races.
 Much interest also centers in the au- tomobile races, and a sufficient number of entries has been received to insure the success of this sport. It is ex- pected there will be additional entries this morning, and Montgomerians will have an opportunity of seeing the fast est cars in the city In competition. The events and entries up to last night was as follows:
 Ftve-mile race for heavy touring cars; W. T. Robinson, Pope-ToIedo: Frank Lockwood autocar, driven by I driven by Garside Harris.
 The full list of entries in the one- mile dashes for light cars has not been completed, but there is little doubt but these will be especially exciting. as there is keen rivalry between several of the fast runabouts of the city.
 The Fair Directors have granted spe- ciai permission to the live stock and poultry exhibitors to commence re- moving their exhibits late this after noon in order to avoid having them lay over Sunday. A majority of the shows which close here tonight will go to Florida towns to attend the street fairs and county expositions to be held there. RiccPs band will go straight to New York. closing the season here.
 Numerically, yesterday was the most successful day that the fair has had yet. due largely to the fact that it was Children's and Monty" Day. As early as 9 o'clock crowds of boys and girls boarded the cars for VandiVer Park, and when the hour for announcing the lucky contestant for Monty" Miss Sa- rah Ferrall, arrived, there was not an inch of available space in the grand stand and very little on the ground in front
 The racing was particularly exciting. some of the finishes being so close that only the decision of the judges deter mined the winner.
 It was happy, care-free crowd that thronged the exhibit halls and prom. enaded up and down The Curve. Those shows which appeal specially to juve- niles did a land office business, and the red lemonade and popcorn stands had their innings.
 More County Exhibits.
 Preparatory to leaving for their homes, many of the exhibitors wrote letters of thanks to the Fair Directors and to the public generally. It is be- lieved by the fair management that con- siderable interest has been awakened at last in the counties of the State. and that next season the number of coun- ties contesting for the handsome cash premium will be twice as large as that of this year.
