"THEODORE THOMAS' SUMMER CONCERTS.

These delightful concerts are still given at Terrace Garden, and continue as heretofore to attract large audiences. The performances are not dependent solely upon fine weather, as in case of rani they are given in the large and handsome saloon belonging to the Garden, which will accommodate several hundred people. On Tuesday and Friday evenings the programme is compose largely of the finest classical music, and on Wednesday evening next, a Mozart programme will be given." [This is incorrect, as the "Mozart Night" was actually held the previous Wednesday.]
