“Music is not only provided in Central Park on certain afternoons, but also in our various city squares, where some of our best brass bands give a free blow. Thus ‘music for the million’ is furnished in goodly quantity, and if the hours were changed until after the working classes had finished their evening meal, the music would enable the people to top off with a very enjoyable desert.”

“The Department of Public Parks announce that if the weather be fine there will be music by the Central Park Band in Mount Morris square [sic] to-morrow evening from six to eight o’clock.” Lists program.
