Review: New York Herald, 25 August 1875, 7.

“Mr. Gilmore repeated last night the fine programme with which he greeted the American rifle team on Monday evening. The beautiful garden was crowded to its fullest extent and the band showed forth in its most brilliant light. Arbuckle played an aria from ‘Attila’ on the cornet and Levy gave on the same instrument Operti’s dashing polka dedicated to the American rifle team. Voight, Gounod, Rossini, Verdi, Weber, Moore, Gilmore and Operti supplied the music on this occasion. The band constantly increases in power of tone and perfection of playing.”
