“Central Park Garden, ever since the opening of the concert season under Theodore Thomas, has been crowded every night. The arrangements for the summer are on the largest and most brilliant scale, and the orchestra has increased in numbers and artistic merit. A new hall will be added to the establishment in a few days, thereby giving accommodations for 2,000 more people. There is nothing else in America that can compare in extent, brilliancy, variety and art, as a summer garden, with this handsome retreat at the Park.”
