This page mixes advertisements with humor typical of 1890s Judge magazine. The main cartoon shows a stick-figure golfer in an exaggerated pose—the "Golf Bug" described in the accompanying ad for a card game simulating golf. The joke plays on golf's emerging popularity and the obsessive enthusiasm it inspired among players. The "College Wits" section contains brief humorous verses and witticisms on romantic and social themes common to the era. References include "September Morn" (likely a famous painting that scandalized puritanical audiences) and period slang like "simoleons" (dollars). The humor trades in mild innuendo about courtship, fashion ("the waist"), and social pretense—standard fare for a satirical magazine aimed at educated, urban readers. The bulk of the page is advertisements for correspondence courses, patent services, and the Old Overholt Rye whiskey brand, reflecting the magazine's commercial focus alongside satirical content.
