 During these fairs there is an unusual mount of travel over the Danbury and 1 Norwalk railroad. Large numbers of | people yesterday attended the fair from | stations between New York city and Nor walk, which, added to the patronage that l comes from the stations on the Danbury 1 and Norwalk, makes vast amount of | patronage that requires considerable extra railroad service.
