...June Outing is a very commonplace number, containing no article of special interest, but with plenty of sporting articles of the usual nature. The leading article is "All For a Life," a story of the sea. It is an unnatural and improbable story and though it has a certain interest for the reader in that it is written in an easy and pleasant style, the plot is nothing new or remarkable, and the situation at the end is rather incomprehensible. "Kings of the Trotting Track" is a paper supplementary to "Queens of the Trotting Track' printed in the May number...
...Present." The author compares new records with those of the past in a very good paper, finding 'that in all field events and in the track events through the mile we are far superior to our grand parents." "A Dangerous Sidepath" by John Seymour Wood is a typical Outing love story. The heroine is a great bicyclist possessed of all the charms peculiar to her sex. Her hero is also altogether admirable. Naturally they marry. Perhaps the best article of the number is "Shore Birds and Shooting" by Ed. Sandys. It is an account of a shooting trip...
...number of Outing is much more interesting to the general reader than usuall. The first article is "How the Major Learned to Fish." It is an interesting and commonplace love story with a little advice as to the best methods of fishing for pike and bass worked in.

...Outing for April opens with a strange story of adventure, "In the Shadow of Ninevah" by William Hinkley. This is followed by some seventy pages of fiction, tales of shooting and fishing, and other sporting articles. "Canoeing on the Merrimac" by I. N. Drake is a bright and entertaining account of a two weeks canoe trip. Allen Chamberlain gives us an account of a novel expedition in "Hunting a Tapir." The story of the hunt is not exciting, but it is well written and is pleasant reading. A couple of bicycling articles are "A Wheel to San Gabriel at Easter...
...speaking of racing, a writer in Outing says "at present the national tendency toward legislation in racing, recalls the old fable of the mountain that brought forth a mouse, but it is hard to say what a month or even a week may show. The passage of some really satisfactory measure would be of the greatest service, not only to the actual states that would possess them, but as setting an example to the entire country. The plague - for it amounts to nothing less - of unrestricted racing must be checked...
