MONTGOMERY
MEN GROWING
ENTHUSIASTIC
OFFICIALS OF THE AUTO CLUB
OF THAT CITY TAKE TO THE
IDEA OF A RUN TO PENSACOLA.

The Montgomery Advertiser of yes.
terday contained the following re-
garding the proposed run from Mont
gomery to Pensacola On Mardi
Gras:
President CASTOR J. Greil and Sec
rotary Sid Black, of the Montgomery
Automobile Club, are endeavorfng to
interest local owners of machines in
sociability run to Pensacola during
the Mardi Gras festival in the Florida
city. Plans and notifications of the
proposed run have been sent to all
members of the local association and
other owners of machines in sur.
rounding towns. 1t is expected that
number of auto owners of Mont
gomery and vicinity will make the
run.
The proposition as put up to the
local automobile association by the
Mardi Gras promoters of Pensacola
includes the starting of the run from
Montgomery in time to reach Pensa-
cola on the day of the Mardi Gras
parade. The Pensacola automobilists
will journey to Flomaton and meet
the Montgomery drivers there. Near
Pensacola it is proposed to form \
procession of the Montgomery, Pen
sacla and intermediate cars that will
lead the Mardi Gras parade into PEN
sacola.
AS an inducement to Montgomery
men to take part in the run and In the
festivities of Mardi Gras week In
Pensacola, the Pensacola men will
furnish free garage space and gaso-
line to all owners who will make the
run.
1t is believed that the run will do
much to further the cause of good
roads in Alabama and give a squirt to
road Improvement in the southern
sections of the state. It is possible
that cup will be offered for COM
petition on the run and be awarded
to the owner Of the car making the
best score. Then, too, it is probable
that there will be a prize offered
for the best stretch of roads that is
encountered.
Another Boost. "
The Journal of Montgomery of re-
cent date also contained a boost for
the proposition as follows:
The Pensacola Journal publishes
plan for an automobile run from Mont
gomery to Pensacola, during the ap-
preaching attraction of the Mardi
Gras period in that city. The Journal
says:
ssThe Journal heartily endorses the
suggestion made by DR.. Mallory Ken
nedy on this page today for an auto
mobile endurance run from Montgom-
cry to Pensacola during Pensacola's
Mardi Gras celebration, February Z
and s.
"The suggestion is good because it
is practical and because it will, if car
ried into effect, result in the revival
of the good roads movement between
Pensacola and Montgomery.
"From Montgomery to Pensacla by
rail is 1872 miles. Much of that dis
lance by automobile route is over
roads that have never been improved.
Considerable of it, however, is over
roads that will make the automobile
enthusiasts heart leap with joy. For
some distance out of Montgomery the
roads are said to be excellent, and
the A miles between Pensacola and
Flomaton are all of hard clay and, for
the most part, are in excellent repair.
'"The Journal would like to hear
from the Montgomery papers on this
proposition, and from Montgomery
and Pensacola automobile owners as
well.
zone of the features of the Mardi
Gras celebration in Pensacola will be
an automobile parade. There are now
over 100 machines owned III Pen
sacola, and the parade ought to be a
very pretty and interesting feature.
The Montgomery autoists could make
the endurance run and get here in
time to take part in this parade.
what does Montgomery say to
the propositions"
We most heartily endorse the plan
and refer it to the automobile riders
of Montgomery for contamination. 1t
is entirely feasible-Will get up quite
an i>terest in automobiling and do
much for better roads. Let's have it.
