TO THE EDITOR OF TIE TORONTO LEADER
sR--Not having observed my notice In the nswspA-
pers that We be sgain visited By one of
these errat.c bodies wns astonished this morning on
looking TO the NORTH st exactly twenty minutes past
three O'Clock to observe brilliant comet Il was alev
degrees to the east Of north and imrnedatsy 70 the
east and nearly In line with the lower hind pointer Of
Ursa Major In fact It conspicuous object % 70
be almost unnecessary 70 describe its locality The nu.
ceus brighter ard larger than that Of Donaps comet
that visited In 1885, which, With the magnificent light in
its train formed truly beautiful spectacle trust that
the learned professors at university better
"resd Up In comets" than vii! for the public bene-
fit give sccount of this brilliant ssrsnger-who
nate enough halt hour earlier IL must have
appeared still more beautiful when first IL the
early dawn already spreading faint light on the
eastern horizon. Yours oleaiently,
