“The concerts given by Theodore Thomas at Terrace Garden continue to receive the liberal support they so richly merit. Of the performances of this orchestra it is entirely unnecessary to speak, save to say that the recent additions have materially improved it. One of the most attractive features of these concerts, however, is the introduction of music new to this country, which has been procured by Mr. Thomas during his recent visit to the old world.”
