“Theodore Thomas' Concerts at Terrace Garden.

These delightful concerts have attracted crowds of the elite of the city to enjoy, with the refreshing cool of evening, the intellectual and refining treat of listening to Mr. Thomas’ well drilled and well selected orchestra. These fetes are after the style of those open air concerts so much in vogue at Paris, Vienna, and other chief continental cities, with which places New York may at this period of the year, certainly complete in point of favorable climate, though we regret to say, last evening was not quite as genial as could have been desired. At the hour named for the concert last night there was a fall of rain, which had a perceptible effect in rendering the attendance rather small, and which obliged Mr. Thomas to resort to the large hall, where the entertainment took place. The programme included selections from Spontini, Lanner, Meyerbeer, Wagner, Donizetti, Fahrback and Halevy.”
