LUNAR ECLIPSE.
A MAGNIFICENT VIEW. ' OBTAINED FROM JIASTERTON. Hundreds of Masterton residents waited up last night to witness the eclipse of the moon. At 10.30 something resembling a cloud began to make its way over the face of the planet, which Jiad previously been shining brightly in a cloudless canopy. Slowly hut surely this cloud, which was, in reality, the shadow of the earth deflected by the sun, enveloped the orb, until, at 11.30, the moon was completely obscured, as though a painter iad been at work with his brush, leaving a costing of sienna. The eclipse lasted for about an hour and a-half, and was quite an interesting phenomenon.
