“Each concert given this summer by Thomas’ orchestra seems to draw a larger audience than its predecessor. These entertainments are now the most fashionable and the most popular ever given in this city during the summer. All the perfection that an orchestra is capable of seems to be crowded into the forty musicians over whom Thomas wields the baton. No wonder, then, that the Garden should not be large enough to accommodate all the lovers of music who flock to it.”
