Review: New-York Times, 01 November 1862, 1.

“[E]very corner of the edifice was densely thronged, a large number of ladies adding their smiles to the bright auspices of the occasion. . . . [O]n the platform Hirschman’s fine brass band discoursed patriotic music. . . .

The German Glee Club interspersed the exercises with several fine melodies, one of which was composed for the occasion.”
