“The second promenade concert of the Seventh regiment this season came off at the armory last evening and was a great success. The first one was held on the 29th of last month, a rainy night, and was, not withstanding, well attended; but the one last night drew forth an immense gathering. Indeed, it was at times almost an impossibility to promenade at all, owing to the jam. The gathering was, as a matter of course, quite select, and the display of elegant toilets and the latest styles in the way of dresses by the ladies exceedingly brilliant. Grafulla and his assistants rendered the music in their usually excellent way. The programme was not very long, but it made up for want of length in its choiceness. The entertainment was a very enjoyable one, and those who were present at it will doubtless be rather impatient until the next concert takes place on the 26th of next month.”
