“Next week is announced as the last week but one of the Central Park Garden Concerts, so that the thousands who frequent this place will have but a short time longer to imbibe refreshing beverages to the sound of Theodore Thomas’ excellent orchestral music. In the meantime, however, Manager Gosche and Mr. Levy are to have benefits.”

The chief leisure of the concert-room this week will be the series of concerts to be given at the Central Park Garden by Theodore Thomas’ orchestra. The programme for to-night is an admirable one, Mr. Levy playing ‘Una Voce’ and his ‘Maud Waltz.’”
