Success of New York’s two principal music gardens led by Theodore Thomas and Patrick S. Gilmore; leading attractions of the city during the hot summer months. Neither fully satisfies the desires of the people; dreary journey required to reach the Central Park Garden; tawdry adornments of Gilmore’s and music not always of the highest standard; willingness of the public to support musical gardens scattered in different parts of the city.
