This paper presents CCD photometry for the gravitationally lensed quasar system 2237 + 0305, in optical passbands from B through R, taken over a time period of more than 3 yr. These data provide new information about the probable microlensing event reported by Irwin et al. (1989); the rise time of this feature is approximately 26 days. Four additional independent brightness changes in the quasar images are detected. 11 refs.
