The St John's Head tavern (also known as the Baptist Head tavern) stood on Chancery lane at the south-east corner of Lincoln's Inn,
just within the Liberty of the Rolls. In 1661 it was leased by Richard Hillyard (†1665) and his wife Mary; after Hillyard’s death his
widow married John Henthorne, who took over the property and issued a token (BW. 504) in his own name. A year later most of the
tavern was pulled down as a precautionary measure as the Great Fire approached, although ultimately Chancery lane escaped the

HOUSE in 5 lines, 230 x 195mm (Young, Entertainments, p.9, this item). Very fine and very rare £150-£200
Provenance: Bt October 2004.
Carlisle House, located on Soho square, was the venue for Teresa Cornelys’s fabulous masquerades, which were the talk of London
society in the 1760s. ‘Mrs’ Cornelys (1723-97), a former lover of Antonio Casanova, by whom she had a daughter, was originally a
singer at King’s Theatre in the Haymarket. In 1760, with the help of her then lover, John Fermor, she took a lease on Carlisle House
and, while redecorating it, became acquainted with the Duchess of Kingston, maid of honour of Princess Augusta, mother of the new
king George III. Between them they gathered together influential and wealthy people to subscribe to Cornelys’s social events, the
first of which was held in November 1760. Increasingly popular among the fashionable set with up to 600 guests at each meeting,
contemporaries described these packed gatherings, and the clothes and outrageous outfits being worn by some, with peculiar
disdain. In 1771 Cornelys began staging operatic performances, but without the necessary licence, for which she was fined at Bow
Street and then indicted for keeping “a common disorderly house”. The following year she was declared bankrupt and then led a
chequered life, ultimately dying in the Fleet prison; her obituary in the Gentleman’s Magazine described her as “the distinguished
priestess of fashion”

Cremorne House, to the west of Battersea Bridge, was sold by the Huntingdon family in 1831 to a convicted fraudster popularly
known as the Baron de Beranger. Beranger added pleasure gardens to the property but was declared bankrupt and the house and
gardens were acquired by James Ellis in January 1845. Between then and the late 1870s the gardens were much frequented, but in
1877 local residents objected to the renewal of its licence and it was forced to close. Marylebone Gardens occupied the site of what is
now bounded by Beaumont and Devonshire streets, Upper Wimpole and Upper Harley streets. Opened in the late 17th century, they
enjoyed a zenith of popularity in the 1730s and 1740s and subsequently were enlarged to some 8 acres in 1753, but by the mid-1760s
decline set in and the gardens ceased to open regularly in 1776

Low’s Grand Hotel, 43 King street, proprietor David Low, opened in January 1774; Low became a chiropodist and the owner by 1793
was Charles Richardson (†May 1827: see next Lot). By the early 1850s it had passed into the hands of John ‘Paddy’ Green, who
added a new music hall; the acts eventually outgrew the facility, which closed in 1880. Carlo and Giovanni Gatti, previously in the
restaurant trade in Hungerford Market until their property was demolished as part of the construction work for Charing Cross
railway station, opened a music hall at 214 Westminster Bridge road in 1865, which was rebuilt in 1884 and re-named Gatti’s Palace
of Varieties; it closed in 1924. The Big BEN Ball, a highlight of the motor industry social calendar since the 1920s, benefits those

Provenance: Bt M. Johnson October 2013.
John Henley (1692-1756), known contemporaneously as ‘Orator Henley’, b. Melton Mowbray, moved to London in 1721. After a
quarrel with the Bishop of London he gave up his assistant preachership and on 3 July 1726 opened his Oratory at Newport Market,
situated near Leicester square and one of the main meat markets in the city at the time. He moved to an old theatre at Clare Market,
Lincoln’s Inn Fields, in 1729. Medals of admission to his Oratory, like the present specimen, were sold for a shilling. Said to be a
rude and vain man who upset many people, he died in poverty

Isaac Perrins (1750-1801), prize-fighter and engineer employed by Boulton & Watt. A giant of a man, 6ft 2in in bare feet and
weighing 17 stone, he was the champion boxer of the Midlands with a reputation of beating his opponents in under five minutes. He
issued a challenge of £500 to meet any man in the country, an offer which attracted the attention of Thomas Jackling, aka Johnson
(†1797), the London and England champion since 1783. The match was made at Banbury on 22 October 1789 and, in a tournament
of mixed fortune watched by 3,000 people, which lasted 75 minutes and comprised no less than 62 rounds, Johnson took victory
and a large purse, reputed to be over £1,000. Perrins is said never to have fought again (Chaloner, History Today, 1973, pp.740-3);
not so Johnson, whose patrons introduced him to racing and gambling. In January 1791 Johnson lost his title to Benjamin ‘Big Ben’
Brain at Wrotham, Kent; subsequently he dissipated his fortune gambling and ended his days teaching boxing in Cork

Daniel Mendoza (1764-1836), known in boxing circles as ‘The Jew’, enjoyed a lengthy prize fighting career during which he earnt the
patronage of the Prince of Wales. He became champion of England in 1789, the same year that his book, The Art of Boxing,
appeared. He subsequently opened a boxing school with his partner, William Ward, at the Lyceum in 1791. Mendoza lost his boxing
title in 1795 and in later life ran two taverns in the east end of London

It is likely that this ticket was probably used to gain entrance to the Royal Cock Pit in Birdcage walk; a similar example is depicted in
a 1758 print by William Hogarth. The Royal Cock Pit was built by Charles II but demolished in 1816; the sport itself was declared
illegal in 1849

Joseph Askins (b. 1771), a one-legged potato planter from Walsall, used his peg leg for drilling holes to drop the seed potatoes in. He
developed an astonishingly convincing voice-throwing technique which he would demonstrate at local shows and pageants. In 1796,
word of his talents reached London and he was engaged for two weeks at Sadler's Wells Theatre as The Man With One Leg and Two
Voices. The show was a phenomenal success, and in the course of a two-year run Askins single-handedly established ventriloquism
as mainstream entertainment

Provenance: Bt R. Gladdle October 2013.
Harold Holt (1885-1953), England’s leading theatrical impresario in the 1930s and the son of a Jewish diamond merchant from
Kimberley, South Africa, managed many of the best-known names in classical music, including Dame Nellie Melba, Yehudi
Menuhin, Sergei Rachmaninoff and Paul Robeson. He teamed up with Lionel Powell (†1931) in 1924, Powell having previously been
a partner in the agency originally formed by Alfred Schulz-Curtius (1853-1918) to promote the music of Richard Wagner. The
partnership was not long-lived, being dissolved by mutual consent on 31 July 1927. After Powell’s death Holt was the pre-eminent
concert promoter in his field. Described as easy to work with but not a sufferer of fools, Holt had an infamous run-in with the Italian
actor and operatic tenor Enrico Caruso Jr, then based in California, who refused an offer of $36,000 for ten appearances in London

1221
The Olympic Games contest for Wrestling catch-as-catch can, 1908, saw Bacon defeat H.R. Chenery in the first round in 4m 48s,
then he claimed victory over A. Coleman in the second round in 5m 17s and F. Beck in the third round in 3m 20s to reach the final,
in which his opponent was an old antagonist, George de Relwyskow (1887-1942). In both bouts, which lasted for up to 15 minutes,
the referee gave Bacon victory on points.
Bacon’s other principal award medal, that for the Festival of Empire at Crystal Palace on 12 August 1911, was won against the
backdrop of a strike by city of London police, in which all leave, including to compete in the City Police Sports competitions which
were an integral part of the Festival, was cancelled. To add insult to injury, the majority of competitors entered in the lightweight
division of the wrestling competition withdrew as a protest against Bacon being allowed to take part, as he had not recently
competed at that level and, prior to the weigh-in, had to don a thick sweater and tweeds and run for a considerable time, in air
temperatures of over 32 deg. C, in order to lose 3lbs and make the necessary weight. All of Bacon’s competition, except for two
athletes, withdrew in protest at what they saw as a pot-hunting exercise by Bacon and they accused the weighing-in judge, Percy
Longhurst, of favouritism. Reporters for the Sporting Life and other newspapers of the day pulled no punches in describing what
they thought was unsportsmanlike behaviour on behalf of Bacon’s competition.
Stanley Vivian Bacon (1885-1952), b. Camberwell, was the eldest of five brothers who were all top-flight British wrestlers. Adept
at the differing wrestling styles, including Cumberland and Westmoreland, Cornish and Devon and catch-as-catch-can, between
them they accumulated 30 British championship titles, half of which were won by Stanley, who competed regularly from 1904 to
1925. He competed in the Olympic Games of 1908, 1912 and 1920 and was a judge at the Games in 1928. By profession he was a civil
servant; among other sports he excelled at swimming and diving, boxing and rugby. At the outbreak of the Great War he enlisted
with the Civil Service Rifles and became a sergeant-instructor to the Royal Fusiliers at Aldershot, and later Watford. At the
conclusion of hostilities he joined the Air Ministry. A regular contributor to the monthly journal Health & Efficiency in the second
and third decades of the 20th century, Bacon also authored the reference Standing Catch-as-Catch-Can Wrestling (Link House,
London, 1937), a photocopy of which is included. In later life he lived in Christchurch road, Tulse Hill
