“3 p.m. was C. M. A. rehearsal. Room hot, but the crowd cold, & practice rather rough except in some of the choruses. The finale of the Oelberge is sublime, & that of the Niedermeyer Mass unlike anything else that I know. Ellie was there—also Dick [Richard Henry Derby] & beautiful young Miss Daisy D---, Dr. Barnard, Mrs. D’Oremieulx, etc.”
