Includes program; also included a concert aria by an illegible composer.

“Thanks to its highly-picturesque appearance, its myriad comforts, and its attractive music, this vast resort is almost as largely attended as when it was first opened to the public. It is certainly a delightful spot to wander in, and between the freshness, brightness, and animation of the scene, and the performances of the band, it would be difficult to name a place where an hour or two could be more agreeably spent. Friday evenings are usually set apart for thorough changes of programme, and day before yesterday a very interesting quartet for saxophones—instruments which ought to be in more general use than they are—a melodious solo for cornet (played by Mr. Arbuckle,) called ‘Rêve d’Amour,’ Adams’ fine pair of ‘Noël,’ (sung by Mr. Sohst,) a curious fantasia on the perennial ‘Carnival,’ introducing variations for a dozen instruments; a spirited march by Signor Operti, entitled ‘The American Rifle Team,’ and a new cornet solo, (‘The Marianne Waltz,’) composed by Signor Operti and Mr. Levy, and interpreted by the latter, made up the list of selections. It would be exacting to ask for fresher compositions, and when we observe that their interpretation, whether by soloists or the orchestra, was uniformly good, it will be admitted that dissatisfaction with the entertainment is hardly possible.”
