We left Hamilton at 12 o'clock noon on July 31st by the S.S. 

 Turbinia for Toronto. Leaving Toronto at 10 p.m. by the C.P.R. 

 accompanied by Messrs. DeLury, Chant and Collins, we arrived at 

 Quebec at 3 p.m. on the day following and put up at the Chateau 

 Frontenac. 



On Aug. 2nd we visited the Quebec Observatory, finding it to 

 contain an 8-inch refracting telescope, the objective lens having 

 been made by Alvan Clark. This telescope once belonged to the 

 late Captain Ash, and with which he took several photographs of 

 the sun by the old wet plate process. In addition to the telescope 

 the Observatory contains a "transit" instrument for time ser- 

 vice, both of which are in charge of Mr. Arthur Smith.
