Announcement for this program, but on the wrong day.

"At the Terrace Garden concert to-night [sic] 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.
