Review: New York Herald, 12 July 1863, 2.

 Full cast for Fairy land.  “The entertainment furnished surprised everybody, being of a character rarely witnessed at public school exhibitions.  During the first part of the exercises the audience was treated to several beautiful solos, choruses and hymns. . . . An intermission followed, after which an entertainment called ‘Fairy Land’ was given. . . .

The entire exhibition was highly creditable, and afforded unbounded satisfaction to the audience.”
