In-4, brossura, in buono stato di conservazione. In questo numero: "Tra il ghiaccio e i cavalloni. Il transatlantico italiano Presidente Wilson, durante la traversata da Napoli a New York, è stato sorpreso da una tempesta. Il termometro discese a parecchi gradi sotto zero, e le onde che flagellavano i fianchi del bastimento si cambiarono tosto in una coltre di ghiaccio.

"Uno spettacolo di nuovo genere a Milano. Le abbondanti nevicate dei giorni scorsi hanno permesso ai 300 allievi dello Sci Club di abbandonarsi a svariate e attraenti esercitazioni sui prati del Parco.".
