“BLIND MACK, the greatest living blind pianist of the present day, will play on the piano, supported by a powerful string band, in addition to all the popular music of the day, all the favorite EXCISE AIRS, as practiced by the Commissioners, A LA KENNEDY, with all the variations, including the INJUCTION STOPS, A LA CARDOZO, every evening . . . All the fashionable ANTI-EXCISE BEVERAGES, as drunk A LA MULBERRY STREET, served by thirty beautiful young ladies.”
