From the number of tickets that
have. been disposed of in this city. it
would appear that the agency believed
to be located in Norwalk is doing a
land office business. The sale of tick-
cts in the First District has been par-
ticularly large particularly among the
younger men although the sale else-
* where in the citv is said to be record-
bleaking.
The lottery has evidently been car-
ried on for some months in Norwalk.
Reports have it that one local man
of considerable prominence won a $20
prize in last month's lottery. The prize
it is said. was paid to him throngh the
local agent.
The March tickets for the lottery
are. printed on light colored paper
bearing the number twice on each
ticket and are the same as those of
