The gazette includes a "roll of honor" of current ushers, short poems and tales praising the shows presented at the Hippodrome as well as some mocking of their trouble-prone co-workers, and rumors, gossip, news and quips.

Burnside at the Hippodrome, "Montgomery and Stone in 'Chin Chin'", etc. Included are poems titled "The Big Show" and "Only a Tramp", the first few lines of which read: "Lem'me sit down a moment, / A stones got in me shoe; / Don't you commence your cussin, / I ain't done nuthin to you. / Yes; I am a Tramp, what of it? / Folks say we aint no good, / But a Tramp's got to live, I reckon, / Though folds don't reckon we should.." Newsy articles include a report of the "Broadway Ushers' Association" meeting, and a playful recounting of "Our Brooklyn Trip". Quips abound under the headings of "Hip-Pod-Ro-Me" and "Globe News" by Joe Downey: "The World series was played by Boston and Brooklyn; mostly by Boston. Queen Ann is dead". RARE. Fine .
