Antiquity of Wrestling.
Probably the first authentic record of
a wrestling match is In A. D. 1222,
when chivalry on the European
was undergoing a change for the
better. During the reign of Henry III.
of England a match took place In St.
field, London, between citizens
of Westminster and the city of London
proper. Wrestling was, however, pop-
as a pastime in England at a
much earlier period, and from that
country many of the different styles
originated.

As yet no one has been able to
