“During the hot Summer weather there is much comfort to be had for the ridiculously low price of 25 cents, either at the Central Park Garden, where Theodore Thomas sprinkles the air of Seventh-ave. with sweet sounds, or at the Terrace Garden on Third-ave., where melody from Bergmann’s orchestra mingles with the clinck [sic] of beer goblets and ice-cream glasses. Both places are attended by excellent audiences—excellent both in number and quality.”
