Exeter Flying Post, Brixham Whitsun wrestling advertisement (1816)

BRIXHAM ANNUAL DIVERSIONS, in Whitsun-week, will be generally attractive, from the variety of amusements, and particularly so on Wednesday, the 5th June, to the admirers of SCIENTIFIC WRESTLING, from the expectation that a PURSE of FIVE GUINEAS, which will be the winner’s prize, will bring together many competitors for fame, in this national and English exercise. The time of commencing wrestling will be eleven o’Clock in the forenoon. Brixham, 22d May, 1816.
