May 29. Went down to Epsom by rail and walked to the course. Met Woolner [aged 35] and a brother sculptor, Burnett, John [aged 31] and William [aged 33] Millais, Mr. Abraham Salomon [aged 38] and Mrs. Abraham Salomon and Miss Salomon. Tom Taylor and a lady. When the 18 horses were running for the Derby Stakes and I and Woolner and Burnett were against the ropes on the side the horses took, and we were struck by the thunder and tramping rush of their progress—that was in truth a sublime moment. In the evening adiourned to Cremorne which was densely thronged by men and women in all states of hilarity and inebricty. Met Munro [aged 35] and Ormsby, Poynter, Du Maurier, Millais and Jopling and others.
