Three newly discovered microlensing events in the direction of the Galactic bulge are presented, increasing to four the total number of events detected by the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) collaboration. The timescales and magnifications of the events range from 10 to 45 days and from 1.26 to 6.5, respectively. The locations of the lensed objects in the color-magnitude diagram indicate that one is a red giant and three are main-sequence stars. All observed features suggest microlensing as the only plausible explanation of the observed light variations.
