      “The Saturday afternoon concerts at the Park are now regularly inaugurated, under the famous Dodworth management.  The million can, therefore, enjoy most elegant music, open air opera and afternoon ‘germans’ [sic] . . . and it must be said that the million, as well as the fashion, of the metropolis avails itself very numerously of the pleasure.”
