“The seating arrangement of Gilmore’s new concert garden have been considerably improved, a large number of park seats being added to the immediate vicinity of the music stand. The programme last evening was of a higher order than usual, comprising selections from [see above]. The band improve[s] on acquaintance, and are settling down to their work with an earnestness that augurs well for the future. The new cascade will be completed by Tuesday night.”
