Review: New York Clipper, 04 June 1864, 62.
No mention of music.  “Signor Buono Core, the Italian Salamander, gave his first public exhibition of his fire-proof qualities at Jones’ Wood on the 35th ult., but owing to the threatening state of the atmosphere and the fact that the ground on which the exhibition was given is notorious for the rowdy characters who infest it whenever they get the opportunity, the attendance was hardly sufficient, if that, to pay expenses.”
