MASTERS' TROPHY
First known to be awarded in the 1879 Annual Report, this sporting prize was listed at times in the 1880s as either the 440 yds Steeplechase or 150 yds open sprint. Sometimes it was referred to as the Masters' Plate rather than the Masters' Trophy. For most of the years it was listed it was usually awarded to the winner of the 150 yards open handicap race. From about 1903 to 1905 onwards the race was not always listed as the Masters Trophy though the 150 yards open handicap continued as an event. In 1927 and 1929 the Master' Cup seems to have been awarded as the 2nd prize of the College Cup. It was no longer listed after 1929.
