THE most brilliant meteor I have ever seen flashed across the sky here from east to west, about 7.10 p.m. on the 30th ult. I was riding along a dark road, looking downwards, when suddenly the road was so brightly lit up that I thought the lamp-lighter had lit another lamp. Seeing neither lamp nor lamp-lighter, I looked up, just in time to catch a glimpse of the meteor. It was of an intense white colour, with a train or track of white behind it. When about 45° above the horizon, it appeared to burst like a sky-rocket, but not so violently. It lasted about two seconds.
