Review: New York Herald, 01 June 1875, 7.

“There is not the slightest abatement in the eagerness of the public to visit the fairy scene into which Gilmore has transformed the Hippodrome. The beautiful garden was crowded again last night, and the band played with more élan and spirit than ever the overture to ‘William Tell,’ extracts from ‘Lohengrin,’ Beethoven’s ‘Prometheus’ overture and a few light selections, encores being frequent and persistent.”
