Review: New York Herald, 23 February 1867, 5.

“…Griffin & Christy’s Minstrels also gave a day performance at the Fifth Avenue Opera House, when the spectacular, mechanical representation of the Ocean Yacht Race and London Assurance, by the Philo-Dramatic Amateur Association proved sufficient attraction to gain a full house at the people’s favorite resort.”
