“Music in the City Hall Park was inaugurated yesterday in the presence of a large concourse of people. The musicians’ stand was draped with American flags by request of the Mayor, and the incident produced a sensation among the multitude. We learn that the music on the Battery on Friday afternoons will hereafter be continued as usual, and Wednesdays be devoted to sweet strains in the City Hall Park. This is well. Our people love music. The Park Commissioners should give them plenty of it.”
