Review: New York Herald, 31 May 1874, 9.

“Gilmore gave a very attractive concert at the Twenty-second regiment armory last night, at which selections from Rossini, Balfe, Meyerbeer, Flotow, Mendelssohn and Handel were rendered in a very creditable manner. After the concert came a hop of the most enjoyable description.”
