The latest number of the Lampoon is good. All of the reading matter is replete with humor, and some of the shorter jokes that are scattered between the longer efforts are decidedly refreshing. The most important feature is the treatment of the recent fire in Trinity Hall. This is shown in a spirited center-piece, and discussed at length in "A Letter from Willie." Both of these show a fine appreciation of artistic detail and both bring out one or two incidents which actually happened. The drawing might have stuck a little closer to facts, and still lost none of its merit, but on the whole the scene is reproduced in a happy manner. The letter also brings in a number of good points, which will rouse many memories, pleasant or otherwise, of that eventful night.

Perhaps the best piece of writing in the number is the poem on "The Bold Subscription Man" which fits in well with a current popular air. The parody is unusually clever, and the characteristics of the "subscription fiend" are well depicted. Next in merit is "The Goody Destructa," another animal from "Lampy's Menagerie," which is fast growing to a fine and entertaining collection.

It is a little to be regretted that the Lampoon, in one of its editorials, should feel it necessary to expose its private life at such length, and serve it up as humor, especially when the Freshman candidates are evidently so energetic. if such space could be filled with more ingenious schemes like that proposed for the improvement of the Yard, it would be better. It is very gratifying to find the Lampoon suggesting that graduates make building improvements, even if it does rather suggest a "stale joke," appearing where it does.

The drawings in this issue, for the most part, seem hurried and lacking in finish, having a disturbing effect. The two smaller silhouette drawings are the most pleasing.
