...last issue of the Lampoon contains a number of short jokes, some of which are good, together with several drawings, most of which are very poor. Exception must be made in favor of the picture of "Butler," which is excellently drawn. The centre page is rather amusing and three months ago would have been appropriate...

The second is a two page legend entitled "Sherlock on the High Seas," in the main well written and embellished with well executed designs. The other contributions are for the most part likely to leave the prominence of Sherlock uncontested. Exception may be made for two drawings and nearly as many small jokes. There is something in the editorial column. Paragraphs of this latter sort only serve to set the reader to thinking of what a humorous editorial might...
...good take-off on the Advocate and a few clever jokes and poems make the current number of the Lampoon fairly readable. Of the illustrations the Chart for Navigating the Yard in wet weather is one of the cleverest drawings that has appeared in the paper this year. The ideas of some of the other illustrations are also clever, but in most cases the execution is very rough and unfinished. A well-executed and artistic drawing has not appeared in the last few numbers of the Lampoon...
