Review: New York Herald, 20 July 1863, 4.

     “The Park was not so well attended as usual yesterday, although a goodly number of persons were present. Doubtless confidence lost during the recent troubles had not entirely returned to our citizens, still the presence of a number of well dressed women and children in the Park reminded our reporter that our city had not quite gone to ruin. The tumult has thrown back the work on the Casino and other places in consequence of the men not being allowed to labor; but it is expected all will go on pleasantly again this morning. The concert on Saturday was but thinly attended in comparison with former occasions, yet the fact that the concert was held at all, and that visitors were present to hear it, showed confidence in the safety of the city and the power of the authorities.”
