Includes program. “The management being determined that nothing in the mode of transportation of first class passengers shall surpass this line on a scale of grandeur and magnificence, add this most expensive attraction and novelty, the engagement of the first orchestra of the country—the Dodworths [sic]—which will be attached to each steamer on its passage.”
