“The concert at the Central Park Garden last evening, although one of the ordinary concerts, was attended by a very large audience. Every seat in the concert hall and in the garden was occupied. The usual classical programme of Friday evening was performed, including selections from Meyerbeer, Gluck, Mozart and Bach, interspersed with lighter music from Strauss and Offenbach.”
