“The very worthy charity known as the Sheltering Arms, is likely to find its funds considerably augmented ere the fortnight ends. To-morrow it will benefit by a grand concert at the Academy of Music, and Thursday evening and Tuesday week [sic] by two amateur dramatic entertainments at the Union League Club Theater. [Lists participants.]”
“The Bazaar is held for the purpose of making $10,000, with which to pay off the building debt of the Asylum… It is with pleasure that the Executive Committee announce, as a matter of public interest, that the NAVY-YARD, FORT HAMILTON AND GOVERNOR’S ISLAND BANDS have kindly offered to furnish music on alternate afternoons. LANDER’S BAND will attend every evening… The Bazaar will be open, after Tuesday, from 10 A. M. to 11 P. M.”
“The great fair or Bazaar of the Sheltering Arms opened this afternoon at two o’clock…
“The rooms were filled with ladies connected with the various Episcopal churches of the city. A fine band was in attendance, and everything intended for the sale or exhibition was in readiness…” No further mention of music.
Notes large attendance for the first two days. “…Sanders’ [sic] Band furnishes capital music every evening, while the Fort Hamilton band discoursed sweet music yesterday afternoon. The Bazaar has its own organ in the shape of a lively little daily paper…”
