Review: New York Herald, 23 May 1871, 7.

“The band, under the direction of Mr. Thomas Baker, performed several choice selections of music, and in the ‘Bon-bon Galop’ a carol was introduced and sung with very happy effect by Master Julius Peters. It pleased so well that a repetition was called for.”
