# "Judge Observes the Coming of Autumn" This page from *Judge* magazine presents autumn-themed vignettes satirizing contemporary leisure activities and social customs. The illustrations depict: **Upper panels:** Seasonal pursuits including "Poultry & Game" (the hunting season's opening), a Brighton Beach incident, and people experiencing the autumn equinox. **Central image:** A well-known "last year's overcoat" being retrieved—likely satirizing the practice of bringing out old winter clothing. **Lower panels:** "Harvest time at a rural summer resort" and "Sketched at the fall meet at Belmont"—references to horse racing at Belmont Park, a major autumn sporting event. The overall humor relies on observing how Americans predictably transition their activities and wardrobes with seasonal change, poking gentle fun at established routines and social rituals of the era.
