Review: New York Post, 14 August 1867, 2.

“There is but one place of amusement in the city where the hot weather is absolutely avoided, and that is Terrace Garden. Sufficiently elevated to catch the cooling breezes from almost every direction, and with every provision for external and internal comfort, there is no drawback to the enjoyment of the most exquisite music, perfectly rendered. Mr. Thomas not only furnishes admirable selections that are already familiar, though never trite, but always gives more or less that is absolutely new.”
