Includes program. “The garden is open every afternoon, without music.”
“Mr. P. S. Gilmore and his unrivalled military band essayed a rather ambitious programme last night before an immense audience, and succeeded in giving a very expressive and artistic rendering of two overtures by Weber and Suppe, a fantasia on ‘Il Profeta,’ the best of all Weyprecht’s arrangements; one of Meyerbeer’s Torchlight Dances, a couple of waltzes, a solo by Arbuckle, beautifully rendered and well accompanied, and a selection from ‘Il Crociato.’ Mr. Gilmore has a pardonable leaning toward Meyerbeer in his performances, for never has an operatic writer existed that could produce such genuine musical effects like the Franco-German composer. The new cascade is now in thorough working order and is an attraction in itself.”
