...Outing for February is not a good number, there is much more to be criticised than is be commended. The illustrations are very poor, especially the front-piece, "The Veteran's Last Fight," painted expressly for Outing. It would be hard to imagine a tamer fight. It is a picture of a wild hog with two dogs on him and three or four more looking on with a sleepy kind of interest. The effect is almost absurd.

This brought into use every available means of lighting the Hall but it still remains inadequately lit. What is still worse is that the ventilation must continue poor while we have this form of lighting. For better ventilation can be had only by opening the long stained glass windows, and this creates a draft which flares the gas and badly smokes the walls and ceiling. We have said all this before but we repeat it to show that...
