AUSTIN STATE GAZETTE, October 5, 1861, p. 2, c. 1
Austin, Travis Co., Texas
The Concert by Prof. Schutz, assisted by a number of young
ladies, on Saturday night last, for the benefit of the Soldiers
Aid Society, was an eminent success. About one hundred and fifty
dollars was received as the proceeds at twenty-five cents
admittance fee.
The special features of interest were the reading and performance
of an original song, "The Sun Kissed South," written by Mr.
Hutchins, music by Professor Schutz. The reading by Mr. Cave,
and performance of an original song, "Flag of the South Land," by
a "beautiful young lady of Austin," and a humorous song, "The
fine Old Irish Gentleman," by Mr. CAVE.
The Representative Hall was crowded to its utmost capacity, and
the beauty of the Capitol city was probably never more radiant
than on this gala night.
