Review: New-York Times, 01 January 1874, 8.

“Among the Germans the advent of the new year was joyfully celebrated last night by numerous soirées and entertainments, which were principally arranged under the auspices of the various vocal and musical organizations, consisting of balls, the presentation of holiday gifts, and other social pastimes and amusements, known as Sylvester… the Harmonie Vocal Society [gave] a Sylvester celebration at the Germania Assembly Rooms, for which an interesting programme had been prepared.”
