Sporting Advertisement.Thomas Richardson, who won the principal prize at the last Keswick Regatta and Races, having observed it mentioned in the Whitehaven paper of the first instant, that he refused to "play again with the man he threw, for five guineas, though challenged," begs to contradict such statement, as being a gross falsehood; and he is sorry such an offer was not made to him.He now challenges his opponent, alluded to in the Whitehaven paper, to wrestle him for ten guineas, at any time or place.Hesket-New-Market, Sept. 2nd, 1818.
