Conan Doyle explains how he created and organised the 'Undershaw Rifle Club' near his home in Surrey. Also included is Chapter 21 of H. G. Wells 'First Men in the Moon'. As is often the way with periodicals of this era, the numerous advertisements to front and rear also provide much entertainment, among which are Crystoleum painting, 'how to obtain a slender waist', and portable turkish bath cabinets. .
