Includes program. 

“Notwithstanding the fact that a very large portion of the citizens of New York are now absent from the city, very large audiences are nightly to be seen at Gilmore’s Concert Garden. The very spacious and beautiful auditorium, the perfect ventilation, the cooling influences of the cascade and fountains, the refreshing suggestiveness of foliage and flowers, all combine to render this an alluring place for people who have to pass their evenings in town. In addition to Mr. Gilmore’s celebrated band, greatly enlarged for these concerts, the management have engaged especial performers, such as Levy, the famous cornet player, and Mr. Sohst, the possessor of a very powerful baritone voice. Mr. Levy’s style and taste are so different from those of Mr. Arbuckle that the two gentlemen cannot fairly be called rivals. Each is a very superior player in his way, a fact which the auditors are not slow to appreciate. The programmes are composed with especial reference to the qualities of the band and to the taste of very large and promiscuous audiences. The regulations and attendance are excellent, and it would be difficult to find a more agreeable place in which to while away an evening.”
