It was in the eastern sky pretty well overhead. The last one was the most brilliant, I lighting up everything as bright as midday. The light resembled bright electric light. After go ing in a northerly direction it exploded. The comets had bril liant tails streaming after them. The second meteor especially pre sented a magnificent appearance. We understand at Shubert three meteors were seen. We had the pleasure of meet ing our old friend W. H. Stowell, 1 former editor of the Auburn Re publican, for a few minutes Fri day afternoon.
