On another occasion a foot-race from the town house to the store was a feature of the program. A large number of young

HISTORY OF LEEDS
men lined up to await the word, go! Levi Caswell, a man more than seventy years old, who never tempted the people who were light fingered by leaving his whip in his carriage, but always, on such occasions, carried it in his hand, asked the participants in the race if they were willing for him to start in behind and drive them. They readily assented and the word was given. After they were fairly under way the old man began to ply the lash, and before the store was reached he drove every one out of the road into the ditch. This is not offered to detract from the fleetness of the young men, but to show the agility of the old gentleman and his skill in the use of the whip.
In days of "ye olden time" an indispensable amusement was the wrestling match. Musters, trainings, raisings, huskings, town meetings, etc., were all occasions of which the last act was a test of the science and skill of the athletes. An imaginary line drawn across the town from east to west divided it into North and South, and a spirit of rivalry for the mastery existed. On these occasions a representative from each section would choose from his territory all that wished or would consent to participate in the contest. The non-participants as well were deeply interested in the success of their respective sides,-all the more so, as the defeated party was expected to stand a treat for the massive gathering. Among the experts of the North at collar and elbow were: John, Isaac and James Stinchfield, Jr., Walter Foss, Charles Knapp, Benjamin Francis, George and other Lothrop boys, several of the young Lanes and Jennings, Archibald and James Lindsey ; while at the back-hug, where strength was a prominent feature, John Stinchfield, Thomas Graffam, several of the Leadbetter boys and others were among the chief contest- ants. But the former was the style most in use. In the South- ern division the sons of Levi Caswell stood at the head and were ably seconded by the Curtises, Keenes, Sumners, Additons, Turners, Lindseys, Bishops, Pettingills, Bateses, etc. Although divided at home, when away at general musters, there was no North and South, but they all stood shoulder to shoulder like the noble sons of Leeds which they were. When the custom died out, Leeds contained several men whose backs had not been dirted for twenty years. It was very seldom that the best performers participated and the victories won were quite evenly divided between the two sections. Both the Caswell and Stinch- field boys were nautrally reserved and unassuming. Some of the former had lately returned from sea (I think,) and during their home stay it was planned by the mouth-pieces of both sections to have a general match and to arrange it so the boys of these families, who had never met in contest, would come

together in the ring. It was on the occasion of a training when all liable to do military duty were expected to be present, and the place of meeting was Lothrop's Corner. After the drill was over, the two lines were drawn up facing each other and the contest begun at the lower end of the lines. The Caswell boys headed one line with the Curtis boys on their right next to them and others in their order. The Stinchfields headed the other line and Walter Foss, George Lothrop and Benjamin Francis on their left and others in their order. Gradually the lines shortened, but that of the North much the faster, until Benjamin Francis was sent in. He threw four. George Lothrop cut the number down three more. At this stage but four were remaining on the side of the North and six on the side of the South. Walter Foss was sent in and threw his man. His next antagonist was a Curtis and he threw him on his side, but in doing it broke his hold, which was decided to be an unfair throw. They tried it a second time and Curtis threw him. James Stinchfield was next sent in and Curtis and his brother were both thrown. The three Stinchfield brothers and three Caswell brothers remained. James was somewhat tired, for the two Curtis boys had not been thrown without taxing well his skill and efforts. It was known that John Stinchfield-much the larger and stronger of the three brothers-had a boil on his leg, and consented to enter the ring on condition that if the South threw all on his side he would wrestle once only, with anyone they might pick out. The odds were in favor of the Caswell brothers at this stage in the game. They were heavy, strong men and very agile. Isaac and James Stinchfield were not above medium size, but weighed well compared with their looks. Both sides dreaded the con- test which was to be witnessed by an immense gathering, who stood speechless and anxious. James stood in the ring and awaited the coming of his new antagonist. It was evident from the first pass that Mr. Caswell intended to use his strength. He made several attempts to take an inside lock, when his supposed excess of muscle would do the rest. At last he succeeded in getting it, but to his surprise he came underneath. James immediately hopped on one foot back to his place in the line, where a seat was improvised at his request, and said to his brother Isaac, "I have hurt my leg and you better take my place." Two only on each side now remained. Isaac went in and took his injured brother's place and two fresh and anxious men came together. The first time Mr. Caswell took a foot from the ground he was almost instantly on his back. Getting up he said, "You did it fairly and easily, and I will consider it a personal favor if you will give me another chance to see how you did it." The answer was, "We will wait and let John and your brother try titles and if John don't oblige me to take his
21

HISTORY OF LEEDS
place I will accommodate you." After tearing up the ground a few minutes John landed his man. Then came the accommo- dation trial, which resulted like the first. The brother who had been thrown by John thought he saw how his brother was so easily thrown and asked for a chance to have it tried on him. But he also went down with little exertion and could not tell how. Their father, patting Isaac on the shoulder, said, "I did not bring my boys up to be thrown. If I was not so old I would try you.'
