Summer Night’s Festival of the Mozart Verein, with participation of other groups.
"This evening the Mozartverein, one of our most beloved and capable singing clubs, will hold a Summer-Night’s-Celebration in Atlantic Garden on the Bowery, in which a whole host of clubs will participate. The night before last Lieut.Thiemann’s Company of the 12th [U.S.? German abbr. looks as though it might be “Ver. St.” for Vereinigten Staaten?] Infantry Regiment gave the Mozartverein a beautiful silver goblet as a gift.”
"The Mozart Verein had an extraordinarily well-attended summernight’s fest last night at the Atlantic Garden. The spacious hall of the establishment was entirely overcrowded. The Rheinische Sängerbund, Schillerbund, Germania, Fidelia, Melrose Liedertafel and Cäcilia clubs took part in the festival. All the clubs did their best to make the ball preceding the concert excellent. Of the presentations, the particularly pleasing ones were 'Bonheur de la table' from Robert le diable, 'Coeur König' by Kucken and the sung finale of the fourth [sic first] act of Nachtlager von Granada by the mixed chorus, 'Caecilia.'"
