THE ISLE OF WIGHT RACES.

- - - -
NEWPORT, SEPT. 17.—The first day was very fine, and
they were well attended. On this and Monday the rain
fell in torrents, and prevented numbers from witnessing
the spert, which was of the first order ; but Merlin was in
each race victorious, and as the rain had spoilt the gar-
ments, so the races spoilt the features of the backers of the
Unknown," and made them look like queer objects ;
but, as they were good at bottom, the effect was soon
rubbed off, with the cessation of the cause, the rain.
