“The French choral and musical societies of this city gave a concert at Tammany Hall (Ferrero Assembly Rooms) on Saturday night for the benefit of the victims of the recent floods in France. The concert was very well attended, and the arrangements, under the direction of Mr. Joseph Strauss, were admirable. The programme was as follows [see above]. The performance was very creditable and some of the artists achieved a success that may be considered as very remarkable. Over $1,200 were realized by the concert.”
