“The combination of music, velocipedes, and ‘skatorial queens’ at the Empire City Rink lifts that curious institution at once to a prominent place among the up-town resorts for amusement. Seriously, the concerts under direction of Mr. Dodworth are valuable features, and the whole enterprise is excellently managed by that well-known veteran, Mr. L. F. Harrison.”
“The varied and lively performances nightly offered at the Empire City Rink attract vast numbers of those with whom light and merry music, brief displays of physical agility and boundless Summer space are popular. A special ‘gala’ programme is announced for this evening, when music in vast quantity and not of altogether bad quality will be afforded.”
