“The concert in the Park yesterday was one of the most successful of the season. The programme was well selected, opening with the ‘Park March’—which is the regular prelude of all the concerts—and closing with the national airs. The wind being southerly, the music could be heard plainly on the Lake and in the Ramble, adding much to the amusement of the occupants of the boats and the strollers through the mazy walks adjoining the bell tower. The day was fine and the lawn was resplendent with beauty and fashion—the ladies being present in all their summer finery. The drive was not as crowded as usual, owing doubtless to the fact that a large number of ‘carriage folks’ are out of town at the present time.”
