“Postponement of St. Alban’s Concert. In consequence of the obsequies of our lamented Chief Magistrate, the opening of St. Alban’s Bazaar is postponed to Wednesday evening, April 26, at half-past seven o’clock.”
“A Bazaar for the benefit of the building fund of St. Albans Church of this city will be held at Irving Hall, commencing this evening (Wednesday) at 7½ o’clock, and continuing daily during the week from 12 m. to 11 p. m. The entertainments will be very varied and interesting. On the first evening, Mendelssohn’s celebrated ‘Lobegesang,’ or ‘Hymn of Praise,’ will be sung by distinguished amateurs, and a Promenade Concert will be given each evening by Grafulla’s fine band. Before closing each night, the ‘Tattoo’ will be beaten by the 12th Regiment Drum Corps. Great exertions have been used to make this Bazaar a brilliant affair, and profitable to the funds of the church.”
