The Great Jenny Lind Concert.

only few remain who can recall
the marvellous enthusiasm which at
tended Jenny Lind's first appear
ance in America, in the old Castle
Garden, in 1850. When she arrived
from England $4,000 people were at
the dock to greet her. That night
10000 people serenaded her in front
of her hotel. Seats for her concert
sold at fabulous prices. On the
night of her first American concert
over 5000 people had gathered in the
Battery before Castle Garden by six
o'clock, although the concert did
not begin until eight. When the
doors were opened the crush was
terrible, and within fifteen minutes
every available inch of room, other
than the reserved seats, was occu-
pied, and 10000 people were outside
unable to get it. Then every row.
boat, sailboat and steamer which
could be pressed into service was
engaged to lay in the water by the
old Garden Hall crowded with peo-
pie who could only hear the strains
of Jenny's voice as it f1oated through
the opened windows. The whole
scene has now been repictured by
Hon. A. o. Oakley Hall, ex-Mayor of
New York City, and he gives a Won
derfully graphic recital of the event
in the November Ladies' Home
Journal. The actual scene of Jenny
Lind singing her first song to her
wonderful audience of thousands is
shown in a picture copied by De
Thulstrup from a photograph made
at the time.
