Includes program. 

“The programmes at the Central Park Garden [i.e., Gilmore’s Concert Garden] have lately been endowed with particular interest. The freshest has included the overture to Spohr’s ‘Jessonda,’ an orchestral arrangement of Kontski’s ‘Réveil du Lion,’ a concert-waltz (‘Hussaren’) by Kühner, an extremely effective arrangement of the sestet from ‘Lucia,’ and some works of lesser note. Mr. Gilmore can surely not be taxed with indifference to the demand for novelty after the enumeration of these pieces, all of which were given on one evening; and it is only fair to that skilled and hard-working gentleman to further say that the performances of his band are constantly growing more and more eloquent and finished. The attractiveness of the Garden, it will be inferred from this record, increases rather than diminishes, and when we add that Mr. Arbuckle and Mr. Levy contribute solos to each concert, and that Mr. Sohst lends his fine voice to one or two popular airs nightly, it will be recognized that more could not well be asked of the management or the conductor of the place. The audiences last week were exceedingly large.”
