 Next Monday, July 26, the mails sent from the New Haven postofice to Mon- towese and the incoming malls, instead of going via Air Line route, will be transported by the Fair Haven and Westville railroad. This will necessi- tate some change in the time of sending out malls to station A as well as the mails dispatched from the station, as It Is desirable to send these mails on the same cars that carry the Montowese mails. Under the new schedule the Fair Haven mails will leave on the cars leaving Gregson and Chapel streets at 5:5I, 9:03, 10:57 a. m. and 12:57, 2:39, 4:5l and 6:45 p. m. The 9:03 a. m. and 4:5l p. m. cars also carry the Monto- Wese mails. On Sundays the malls for station A will leave at 11:67 a. m. and leave station A at 6:10 D. m., but there will be no mail for Montowese. From station A mails will leave at S:15 and 10:3o a. m.. 12:09. 3:03, 4:27, 6:32 and S:l5 p. m. The 8:15 a. m. and the 8:1o p. m. will bring mails from Montowese.
