A report of this event, signed ‘ Δ ’, was published by Bohemia 11/4/1850. This text related that on the evening of the day before yesterday there took place in the Kovikt Hall an exceedingly numerously attended Beseda, from which the ‘very plentiful profit’ was allocated to destitute trainee teachers [Lehramtskandidaten]. No specific details of the works performed were given; the correspondent related only that ‘a diverse collection of ‘Solo song, declamation, quartet, harmoniemusik and sociable choral song’ was performed. However, the text continued, noting that ‘the song parts had been arranged by Mr Horák; the musical band was of the the Civil Infantry [Regiment]. Miss Řepka gave two Lieder really fearlessly and with much applause. A Lady declaimed a poem composed by herself. The Hall was decorated with Bohemian lion crests and numerous Austrian, Bohemian, Moravian and Croatian flags.’ The genial entertainment continued well into the night. No further details of the programme of the Beseda were given by other sources.
