The authors have constructed infinitely many distinct differential structures on many regular elliptic surface with positive geometric genus. By using Donaldson invariants, many examples of four-manifolds admitting infinitely many smooth structures are known. In this paper, the authors find such examples by a different construction: They take a pair of elliptic surfaces where each has a tubular neighborhood of one fiber removed. They then glue them together along the boundary in a nontrivial way. For infinitely many choices of such pairs the resulting four- manifolds are homeomorphic but not diffeomorphic. The later is proved using the Donaldson invariants associated to the 0-dimensional moduli space of ASD connections. The Gompf-Mrowka's work in calculating the invariants of manifolds resulting from gluing two manifolds along their boundary is used [cf. \textit{R. E. Gompf} and \textit{T. S. Mrowka}, Ann. Math., II. Ser. 138, No. 1, 61-111 (1993; Zbl 0805.57012)].
