These photos are probably the coffin being taken into and out of St. Patrick's Cathedral. The pallbearers were Pasquale Amato, Giuseppe de Luca, Leon Rothier, Antonio Scotti, Francesco Romei, Giulio Setti, Gennaro Papi, Fernando Carpi, Giulio Crimi, F.C. Coppicus, G. Viafora, and Dr. H.H Curtis.

These were mostly fellow Italian opera singers of the day, many pictured elsewhere in the Bain photos.
