“To roam in the Central Park Garden on the sultry nights that are beginning to assail us, is to enjoy a real luxury. Mr. Theodore Thomas furnishes good and enjoyable music, and other entertainment is accessible. Two concerts are given at the Central Park Garden every Sunday—in the afternoon and in the evening—when suitable programmes of music are furnished. The Central Park Garden manifestly grows in popularity, and it richly deserves its growth.”
“The advent of summer has brought crowds of orderly, well-dressed people to saunter in and out at the Central Park Gardens, where the forty performers of Theodore Thomas’s well-trained orchestra have each evening discoursed the best of music. Mr. Levy, the accomplished cornet player, is encored as usual, and is made to repeat and re-repeat his solo performances.”
