THEODORE THOMAS CoNCERT.-The welcome given
last night to Theodore Thomas and his unrivalled
orchestra at the Central Park Garden was OF
character that promises well for the summer even-
Ing concerts which have for many seasons been a
ravOrite with the public. The band was quite as
numerous as usual, and was led with that enthu-
siam ana thorough musical appreciation for
which Mr.. Thomas Is so famous. The programme
was rich in selections from the best masters and
included the "N0cturne, !" "Scherzo' and "W edding
March" from Mendelssohn. he audience was very
select and appreciative and thrvnged the floor,
private boxes and garden promenade. Tonight
there Is another very good selection OF music by this
band. and on Thursday evening the second part OF
the programme will consist OF compositions of q
higher order such as movements from symphonies,
classical evertures &c. We prophesy for these con-
certs an increasingly large attendance and, Judging
from last night, they Will thoroughly deserve It,
