“The third promenade concert of this celebrated band, under the leadership of Grafulla, took place last evening at the Seventh Regiment Armory. This is one of a series of military concerts given by Grafulla’s Band to members and friends of the regiment every fortnight during the winter months. It is their sixth season. Though the weather was very inauspicious the usual fashionable audience were by no means disposed to be disappointed when such a recherché treat was in store for them. The various selections of quicksteps, polkas, waltzes, and songs from Balfe, Rossini, Verdi, Donizetti and Faust, were beautifully rendered on this occasion.”
