The number of the Lampoon which will appear this evening is not up to the standard of the last issue, but, nevertheless, it contains some very good pieces. It is perhaps too reminiscent of football. The "By the Way," which is better than usual, and the centre page, a well executed and fitting sequel to the centre page of the "Football Number," express very adequately the present dissatisfaction in regard to football. The bit entitled "Sporticus," in the series of "Lampy's Menagerie" is a very pleasing innovation. Although short, it is one of the best executed pieces in the number on account of the humor and scientific language. Another timely and interesting part is the "All Cambridge Team for 1899," which contains the usual local hits but with unusual variations. The short jokes in prose and verse are very good, but the drawings, excepting the centre page, are not above the ordinary. The series of drawings on "Rowing Experiences, etc." is without point, and the drawing on the last page, although a local touch, has a joke which is to say the least well worn out. The editorials are timely, pointed and interesting, especially the one on Thanks-giving Day.
