And as emphatic as any ever uttered on the Swifts at Carlisle

And as emphatic as any ever uttered on the Swifts at Carlisle

And as emphatic as any ever uttered on the Swifts at Carlisle



Not content with this glowing eulogium on a sport long dear to Cumberland and Westmorland, and as emphatic as any ever uttered on the Swifts at Carlisle, the enthusiastic baronet goes on to say:

"No doubt but Wrestling, which does not only employ and exercise the Hands, Feet, and all other Parts of human Frame, may well be stiled both an Art and Science; however, I will do my endeavour, both Hip and Thigh, that Wrestling shall be no more look'd upon by the Diligent as a Mystery."
