“We are very glad to record the strong hold these admirable entertainments have so early taken on our best public, and to congratulate Mr. Dolby on so auspicious an opening for his enterprise.”

“The third of Mr. Dolby’s English Ballad Concerts occurred at Steinway Hall last evening. Every piece on the bill was re-demanded, Mr. Santley contributing, as one acknowledgment of the calls for a repeat, the air “Oh! Ruddier than the Cherry,’ in which the rare compass of his voice—two full octaves—and its wondrous flexibility are so felicitously displayed.”
