“Mingling with the scene was the exquisite music of Grafula’s [sic] famous Seventh regiment band. Airs, operatic, terpischoric, and, when occasion demanded, Napoleonically patriotic, lent a melodious accompaniment to the evening’s proceedings, superfluously, as one might say, overlaying with harmony what was altogether harmonious in itself.”
