“The Central Park Garden concerts have now become a permanent attraction in the city. The selections played by Thomas’ orchestra are always pleasing to the popular as well as the musical ear. Every school of music receives a share of the attention of this clever director.”
“The concerts at Central Park Garden still draw as large crowds as ever. A fine programme will be performed to-night, and to-morrow an extra gala performance will be given.”
“Mr. Theodore Thomas’ concerts, at the Central Park Garden, are not only the best of their kind given in America, but the best of their kind given anywhere. This orchestra is now in thorough order, and plays with admirable precision. The Garden is always well attended, and the audience is as fashionable as at any place of amusement in the City.”
