“Garden concerts are flourishing now. Mr. Theodore Thomas, at Central Park Garden, is prospering hugely. It is a matter of little concern whether it rain or whether it shine. The ample hall is a protection from every extreme, and the garden itself serves as a supplemental place of recreation in the brief intervals of atmospheric unpleasantness. The programmes are most excellently made, and the orchestra of forty-two is the best of its kind anywhere. The matinees on Saturday are fashionable and popular.”
