Exeter Flying Post, Paignton wrestling: Jordan first (1827)

The Paignton match, though commenced under rather inauspicious circumstances, has eventually proved one of the highest order. Jordan the first prize of £7 was adjudged; the second of £5 to Wreford; and the third of £2 10s. to Archer. After this, a highly-interesting match was got up between Huxtable and Avery; the best in three. Huxtable had two successive falls, the first in 36, the second in 25 minutes. Play was not concluded at six o’clock on Saturday evening.
