The Era, Hornsey-Wood Tavern wrestling and single-stick advertisement (1852)

HORNSEY-WOOD TAVERN — Wrestling in the Devon and Cornish style will take place in the enclosed grounds upon Easter Monday and Tuesday. The proprietor will give £10 in prizes to be wrestled for; there will also be Single-stick, Rifle and Pigeon Shooting for a chased silver cup and a handsome silver snuff box. This being the first time of the Devonshire and Cornwall wrestling at Hornsey-wood Tavern, since the present proprietor left the Brecknock Arms, the wrestling at Easter may be considered as preliminary to large prizes, which will be given by the Devon and Cornwall Wrestling Society, to which the proprietor will add a handsome silver belt, to be wrestled for on Whit-Monday and Tuesday.
