The troupe will appear “On MONDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1862.”

“An important addition will to-night be made to the troupe of minstrels now at the Palace Music Hall . . . in the persons of the original Buckley’s Serenaders, who have just returned from England. Miss Julia Gould, who will be remembered as a very agreeable concert singer, is also attached to the troupe.”
COMMENT (WDG): This announcement has Buckley’s opening a week earlier, on Dec 15. But Campbell’s Minstrels were advertised all week for the same venue, and all other ads for Buckley’s opening night say it will be Dec 22. The announcement, I believe, is incorrect.

Big ad, series of small ads. “First appearance since their return from England… Dave Reed Sings and Dances… The Original Chinese Fiddle…”
8)
“Buckley’s minstrels – old favorites in New York – opened at Palace Garden Music Hall last evening with a good company and their old burlesque of ‘Lucrezia Borgia.’”

Says Christmas evening performance is at 7 pm. Calls the venue, “The Palace Music Hall.”
