"At the Terrace Garden concert to-night Theodore Thomas's orchestra will perform, among other selections, two movements from Beethoven's second symphony, the overture to Mendelssohn's 'Ruy Blas,' and dance music from the works of Strauss, Lanner, Halevy and Offenbach. The Garden was never more pleasant or better patronized than at present."

Review: New-York Times, 27 August 1867, 4.

“Terrace Garden, with Theodore Thomas’ orchestral triumphs, draws all the people who love to hear good music, partake of unexciting refreshments and snuff [sic] the air from the fresh grass carpet of the auditorium. It is a rare thing to enjoy the freedom of country life and the luxury of City amusements at the same time.”
