“The Mercantile Library Association is entitled to the credit of originating this concert, while its success is due to the generosity of Mr. Maretzek in allowing the use of the Academy and in permitting the artists of his company to assist.”
“Amusements. Musical…The concert for the Southern Relief Fund took place at the Academy of Music last night, and as far as a really brilliant audience went, it was a success. A number of well-known vocalists and instrumentalists gave selections from operas, and one from the centipedal drama. Undoubtedly a large addition was made to the fund for the laudable object as a result of the concert.”
“The concert in aid of the Southern Relief Fund, given at the Academy of Music on Saturday evening, under the auspices of the Mercantile Library Association was largely attended and will probably add a couple of thousand dollars to that charity. Tonight in aid of the same fund, Mr. George Francis Train delivers a lecture at Irving Hall.”
