“…Singing for prizes by members of seven Swiss singing societies then followed, but the names of the victors will not be announced before Tuesday evening next, when the prizes will also be distributed among the successful candidates in the games.” The festival continued into the evening and the next day, but no mention of music.

“,,,Music, by both brass and string bands was provided, and there was dancing till a late hour in the large ball-room, fronting on the river.”
