Review: New York Post, 28 December 1870, 2.

“ . . . Mr. Baker’s orchestra adds much to the pleasure of an evening at Wallack’s. Mr. Baker has just produced a new Christmas orchestral fantasia, in which a toy trumpet takes a prominent part. Baker’s polka, ‘Fun and Frolic,’ descriptive of a sleigh ride, is also much applauded.”
