Review: New York Herald, 06 July 1869, 7.

Part of long article on Fourth of July festivities observed in Central Park. “At four o’clock Dodworth’s band appeared at the pavilion and attracted a concourse that extended over acres. Many were provided with seats beneath a wide spreading marquee, and as the music floated over hill and dale thousands turned from their favorite resting places towards the centre [sic] attraction.”
