Review: New York Herald, 18 March 1866, 1.

“The number of the guests was about one hundred and fifty, and the dinner served up was worthy of the occasion, the wines excellent, and the whiskey genuine Irish. . . .

[After each toast, music was listed.]

Music—‘St. Patrick’s Day in the Morning.’ . . .

Music—‘The Irish Emigrant.’

This was responded to by Mr. Dan Bryant by singing, in his usual characteristic style, the popular ballad, ‘Pat Malloy,’ adding . . . an additional verse.  [The verse is listed.]

Music—‘Vive L’Amerique.’ . . .

Music—‘Wearing of the Green.’”
