The year 1900 was a busy one in the history of this Society, its 
work evidencing considerable activity and showing satisfactory results. 
On the 5th of May, 1900, the name of the Society was changed, 
by an order of the county judge, from that of “The Astronomical 
and Physical Society of Toronto,” to that of “THE Toronto ASTRo- 
NOMICAL Society,” the objects of the Society remaining as before. 
In the month of October, a series of by-laws, intended to conduce 
to the general welfare of the Society, was enacted and went into force. 
Previous by-laws were repealed. 
In the month of May, two of the members of the Society, Mr. G. E. 
Lumsden, the President, and Mr. Thomas Lindsay, the Recorder, went 
to the Southern States for the purpose of observing the total eclipse 
of the sun on the 28th of that month, and made observations which 
were reported to the Society at its meeting held on the 12th of June. 
Mr. Lindsay acted in concert with the official parties from the Yerkes 
Observatory, from Princeton Observatory, and from the Royal 
Astronomical Society, at Wadesboro’, N.C., while Mr. Lumsden took 
part in the work of the Lick Observatory Eclipse Expedition at 
Thomaston, Ga.
