 of Mrs. l.. N. Avery-Other Notes.
 Yesterday was Fair Ravens first ex- perience with a trolley road strike. In fact, 1t was New Haven's first exper- fence in that line There were a few who stated that they had tips the night before and they knew the road would be tied up yesterday. Just how they knew it they did not explain. But this information was not extensive and the embargo on travel came earlier than most people had expected, And it could not have happened on a worse morning, for the rain was coming down in tor rents and there were hundreds of people who got well soaked. The early ones stood on the street corners quite while waiting for a car, but after while it was pretty generally known that a strike was on and preparations were made to get to the center of the city without the cars Most of the people made the venture, but some not used to W CtihlIlS gave uP I1 yIllG hO GNS NC AN''N- in the downpour and waited for the rain to cease, or did not go in until noon. Many who had not ridden bi- cycle in months dragged out the old machine and peddled into town. But | it was a poor morning for a bicycle ride. A few got ride on teams, but by far the greater part of the contin- gent walked. Nesbit's barge Indepen- | dence made trip out in the morning and another at 4:30 D. III. James Mum son, the driver, said he intended to make nearly hourly trips today, leaving at the corner of Grand avenue and | Clinton avenue as near the half hour as possible. Munson formerly resided here and is an ex-trol4ey car conductor. l George c. Bradley was looking around yesterday for a barge and hoped to have one on Grand avenue to-day. The fare on the Nesbit barget is ten cents. | When the mail cars were run out of the Grand avenue car house yesterday morning quite a crowd collected. But it was quiet and there was no trouble. Sergeant Bowers and three men from the Grand avenue station were in the vicinity all day to look out for any
 
 possible trouble.
 There was some delay in the arrival of the mails at station A, and also in dispatching them. The mail that should leave the station at S:15 did not leave until Il and important train connec- tions were missed. The mail arriving so as to go out on the afternoon de- liveries was forty-five minutes late, toe late for the carriers.
 Fourteen mails are sent and received each day at the station.
 To the people of Fair Haven who have a mile and half and two miles to ride to town, @ trolley tie-up Is a serious matter. The people of East Haven are really better off for they can go in anc out on the steam trains. The accom- modation trains brought and carried hundreds of passengers in the morning and evening. But for the people in oth
 CT sections and residents of MontoWest
 the tie-up is a serious matter. And le
 us hope it will soon be over.
