Review: New York Herald, 21 September 1871, 5.

[With respect to the fair since opening day] “…a little beyond is the music stand , where the jolly Keating and his boys give the visitors Offenbach, Rossini, Verdi and Strauss in quantities warranted to suit. The charming music of this orchestra is a most attractive feature of the fair and one that must, in the long run, draw many visitors.”
