“The Academy of Music will be open on Saturday night for the patriotic reunion of the friends of the soldiers in aid of the New England Relief Association. James T. Brady will preside, and Henry Ward Brecher will deliver the address. There will also be the additional attraction of a good concert, in which Miss Kellogg and Mr. S.C. Campbell will be the vocalists, and the band of the Fifth United States Artillery the instrumentalists. Tickets are one dollar each, and the variety and brilliancy of the entertainment, apart from its patriotic object, should be enough to crowd the house.”

“No city in the world—not even London or Paris—can offer such a variety of amusement as the New York public can have to-day and to-night.”

“As a benefit for the New England Soldiers’ Relief Association, an entertainment event was held at the Academy of Music on Saturday evening. It was well attended and economically successful. Mr. James Brady presided; Henry Ward Beecher gave one of his usual pompous speeches which said nothing; Mr. Campbell and Miss Kellogg sang a few songs, and at the end of the event, a banner was given to the association on orders from the governor of Massachusetts.”
