“The representative bands of different countries will perform their national airs. The celebrated orchestra of Strauss will favor the audience with the ‘bran new Manhattan Waltz;’ the renowned quartet of French horns to the Emperor of Germany follow with their sweetest melodies, and then Gilmore is to appear, ‘combine the antagonistic bands, and roll out in waves of harmony a grand Jubilee Hymn.’ This ends the reception, and the Prince Carnival opens the ball.”
