25 August 1663

Event Information
Theatre: Bartholomew Fair
Theatrical Season: 1662-1663
Volume: 1
Comments: Pepys, Diary This noon going to the Exchange, I met a fine fellow with trumpets before him in Leadenhall-street, and upon enquiry I find that he is the clerk of the City Market; and three or four men carried each of them an arrow of a pound weight in their hands. It seems this Lord Mayor begins again an old custome, that upon the first days of Bartholomew Fayre, the first, there is a match of wrestling, which was done, and the Lord Mayor there and Aldermen in Moorefields yesterday: to-day, shooting: and to-morrow, hunting.And this officer of course is to perform this ceremony of riding through the city, I think to proclaim and challenge any to shoot. It seems that the people of the fayre cry out upon it as a great hindrance to them
