Meteoric display fails to materialize Sunday night
Hundreds of stargazers watched from 7 to 11 pm as clouds hid the sky and no comet appeared. Some observers fancied cloud-lined patterns near the moon but nothing meteor-like occurred. Reports noted clearing briefly near the moon and Jupiter, yet the vigil ended in disappointment. Nearby, a small steamer U S with Greensboro youths sailed the Choptank to Cambridge. Heptosophs plan officer elections next Thursday. Meat cutters and stuffers for sale at the Hardware.
