THE TRANSIT.
The Contact Lost by a Cloudy MorningA
Clear Sky at Noon
The Sun and Venus Have Their Pictures
Taken Together Several Times.

a deep interest was manifested by the read
ing public over the success of the observations
of the transit of Venus to day. And the heavy
clouds that completely >hrOuIed the sky from
carry dawn unit nearly noon dispelcd all homes
OF Il perfect observation, the contact being
lost t. the observers.
All morning the clouds rose in successive
way eS from the eastern horizon until nearly
Ii O'Clock when the clouds broke and gave the
ted work. The Americans had secured about
~ perfect photos by half-paSt eleven.
BY II III. the day cleared of beautifully and
gave the astronomers Il clear field.
Prof. Hall was i'm excellent humOr and while
the contact was lost, the professor did not
regard the catastrophe us disastrous.
Ihc BclgilnS had Il sign on the front gate
"POSitiNCly no aimttancc, and Il policeman
stood near the outer enclosure when the oh
Scrvatons were taken. to prevent intrusion.
The visitors went to the American camp, and
besides the newspaper rep rtrls, there were
quite Il number of city people IN httcndancc.
Dean Richardson, of st. MARKS church, had his
telescope in position and must be considered in
the light of 4 public bcncfactOr, us the iSitOr>
had Il chance to see the transit without ntrl-
ding upon the presence OF the scientific gen.
tlcmcn at work.
Venus looked like Mob bird shot on the
face of the sun, and to the most of the ViSitOrS
was great disappointment.
The weather at this morning was rs clear as
Il bell, and the astronomers took observations OF
the stars, and it was too bad to have the first
act OF the transit spoiled by Il drop curtain OF
clouds.
As the Amer leans depend upon photographs
their observations wilt be satisfactory. The
success of the Bclgans depending on contacts
they suffer considerable disappointment.

this storm in advance.
