“In a musical way we have only Theodore Thomas at present to look to.  Without him, we should have to starve until fall, for, other than at his concerts, there is not a note to be heard, except from the inevitable hand organs, to remind us that such an art as that of music still exists.  Mr. Thomas has done so noble a work that it is gratifying to know that his entertainments are proving a pecuniary success, and that his testimonial on Friday night was all that could have been desired in point of numbers and enthusiasm.”
