The forth-coming number of the Lampoon is on the whole above the standard. Since the '98 board came in, the paper has shown a most laudable tendency to strive for genuine wit rather than to depend upon puns. The present number is a good example of the success of this. Many of the pieces are excellent, and the one headed "Lampy's Bureau of Heraldry" is as good as anything the paper has done for a long time. Another thing to be praised about the number is that it is got to press unencumbered by any illustrated love offerings.
The drawings are many and good, and show much more freedom and flexibility than usual. The new illustration to the "By the Way Column" comes in the way of a welcome change.
