Review: New York Clipper, 10 April 1869, 6.

“Mr. Lingard made his reappearance at the Theatre Comique on Wednesday evening of last week, and gave some of his popular character songs, one of the best of which was the German Onion Vender [sic], which received the applause it so well merited.” No further mention of music.
