The following pieces are marked as "new" in the citations, which indicates that they are either new to America or new to the Popular Garden concert series:
Verdi: Don Carlos selection
Strauss: Leichtes Blut, op. 319
(The first concert at which Thomas began to premiere new works in this concert series was the Thomas Popular Garden Concert: 19th on 07/02/67.)
The citations do not provide a composer for the Carnaval de Venise burlesque. In 1868, the Popular Garden concert series featured a piece of the same title by Ernst, so that is what is listed here.
No concert was given as part of the Popular Garden series on Saturday, August 10th.

"Pursuing his plan of making the Terrace Garden concerts not only a source of enjoyment but a means of musical education for the public, Mr. Thomas will give to-night the usual Friday night classical concert. Selections from the works of Mozart, Weber, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Strauss, Gounod, Liszt, Gluck, and Verdi will be given. We trust that the skies will be auspicious."
