Peter Hawker in Cowes, Isle of Wight - 31 July, 1827

from Journal entry, 31 July 1827, page 311:

This morning, between six and seven o'clock, I started for the grand regatta at Cowes; […] On our arrival, the place was all in an uproar, similar to the Derby at Epsom, with the addition of a military band, and an endless display of colours.
