Front THe "NortH-Curwa Darty News, or Avcust 16, 1870
It is not fair to accept, from week to week, without acknowledgment, the exertions of the Band of Amateurs' who play in the Public Gardens: and we feel we express the general opinion, when we say that a most gratifying treat was afforded the community by the performance on Saturday evening. The programme we need not give, as it has already appeared, though we may notice with reference to it, that it was admirably gone through. The pleasure of the audience, "peripatetic and sedentary, was shown by a disposition to linger to the end, even though the hour was late; and at the last, no less than earlier in the evening, they were well repaid. by the brilliant performance of the "Rifle Gallop."
