Reception of the Elcho Challenge Shield by the Lord Mayor of Dublin, 1873. '...at the Wimbledon-common meeting of the National Rifle Association this year the challenge shield given by Lord Elcho for a yearly international competition between the chosen eight marksmen of England, Ireland, and Scotland, was won by the Irish Eight. This victory has been the cause of just feelings of national exultation in Ireland; and the reception of the challenge shield at Dublin on Thursday week, when it had arrived from London, having been previously brought from the Vienna Exhibition, was an occasion of some interest...the Lord Mayor and members of the Corporation were in waiting on the steps [of the Mansion House] to receive [the shield]...There was a distinguished company - including Mr. Parsons, adjutant of the English Eight; Captain Knox, captain of the Irish Twenty; Captain Field, captain of the English Twenty; and Mr. Braddell, secretary of the Ulster Rifle Association. Mr. Justice Barry, Major-General Cunningham, the Mayors of Limerick and Waterford, and Major Arthur B. Leech were also present...Major Leech read an address expressing the pleasure felt by the council of the Irish Rifle Association in placing the shield in his Lordship's custody'.
