Wigton Sports

WIGTON SPORTS, 1843. These popular amusements came off on Wednesday and Thursday last, and excited considerable interest, from the very liberal amount given to be wrestled for, viz. £20, and from the promise of sport which the hound and foot-race afforded. WEDNESDAY, November 15. The hound race was exceedingly well contested;  ten dogs started, and after a run of four miles the dogs came in as follows: 1.  MR. PARKER's dog, of Nether Hall 2.  Butler, the property of MR. HODGSON, of Aikton 3.  Ruby, the property of MR. MATTHEWS 4.  Grinder, the property of MR. LITTLE, of Carlisle.     The Wrestling prize of £12 attracted to the ring, several of the best men of the day, and throughout the trials of skill and strength were most admirable.  One hundred and twenty eight wrestlers entered the ring, and we subjoin the return from the second round: ------ WRESTLING. - ALL WEIGHTS. - £12.
