“The Last Rose of summer, or rather the last Saturday concert for this season in Central Park, will take place this afternoon, should the weather be favorable. ‘All that’s bright must fade,’ and yet we cannot avoid the expression of our regret at the closing of these delightful Saturday reunions of our citizens.”
