“Serenade to General Ortega.  General Ortega, the Mexican military representative to the United States, was the recipient of a serenade by the United Service Society of the State of New York, last night, at Delmonico’s, corner of Fourteenth street and Fifth avenue, at ten o’clock.  Grafulla’s full Seventh regiment band assembled before the southern front of the hotel and commenced a series of national and patriotic airs.”“Serenade to General Ortega.  General Ortega, the Mexican military representative to the United States, was the recipient of a serenade by the United Service Society of the State of New York, last night, at Delmonico’s, corner of Fourteenth street and Fifth avenue, at ten o’clock.  Grafulla’s full Seventh regiment band assembled before the southern front of the hotel and commenced a series of national and patriotic airs.”
