It bears the following inscription: Presented to Private Lawrence Porter, No. 6 Company, East Indian Railway Volunteers, by the Viceroy and Governor-General of India, as the best shot at 200, 400, and 500 yards, five rounds at each distance; points obtained, 53. 1872-3, The shooting is generally very good; the score of 53 points out of a possible 60 by which Private Porter won the cup was very closely approached by a large number of competitors.
