Review: New York Herald, 19 September 1869, 10.

“Notwithstanding the threatening aspect of the sky yesterday afternoon the Park was gay with visitors, attracted by the music of Dodworth’s band at the pavilion and the brightened foliage since the late rain…” Nothing more about the music, only commentary on the changing weather.
