What you’re looking at

This page contains several brief gossip items and sports notes rather than political cartoons. Key content includes: **"He Enjoyed Himself"**: A humorous anecdote about Wilbur Fulton Berry and Col. Isaac Trumbo debating whether a brass band constitutes a "failure." The joke appears to be about differing aesthetic opinions on musical performances. **Sports items**: References to tennis history (1890 tournament at San Francisco) and boxers Peter Jackson and John L. Sullivan, discussing their fight arrangements and training. **Campaign Edition announcement**: The Wasp promises a special 60-page campaign edition during the upcoming election, noting it will feature political cartoons and illustrations. The bottom cartoon depicts "Rich Maiden" and "Mr. Grabbie" in a property dispute—likely satirizing wealth, real estate disputes, or social climbing of the era.
