BEST SUMMER FOR
 THE TROLLEY COMPANY.
More People Carried This Year Than
 in Any Other.

It is understood that the present sea- son has brought the largest patron age the Connecticut company has ever had for it's trolley lines in the Norwich and New London section. The patron age of the cars has been enormous, and shows no falling off now. Sunday is the biggest Cay for the company, and 1t carries more people on that day than it carries at any other time. Estimates of the crowd at Ocean Beach on a pleasant Sunday afternoon and the company has no other sort this season, places it at 5000 to 1000 people. A great many people come from all along the line from New London to Willi- mantle and the section east of the river brings another large contingent. The cars are run in strings, so that three and four cars are travelling in punches during the day on Sunday. Singular as it may seem, the company has carried it's large patronage without any accident whatever The season has yet three weeks or more to go. and the patronage promises to hold up well to the end.
