It has diamond cut engraving which reads: "New England in- door Championship" 1893 Second Prize 600 Yard Run Around the symbol at the top are the words "First Regiment Athletic Association" This Silverplate Trophy made by N.G. Wood & Sons: The firm of Nathaniel G. Wood (later N. G. Wood & Sons) was established in 1844 by Nathaniel Goodwin Wood (1824-1907) at 9 and 11 Hanover Street, Boston. The business dealt in watches, jewelry, and sterling silver flatware and silver-plate hollowware as well as providing repair work. About ten years later, N.G. Wood & Sons moved to 95 Court Street, and shortly thereafter to 444 Washington Street and then to 89 Central Street by 1887. The firm employed advertising (trade) cards to promote the business. I tried to translate the latin that is written around the symbol & it came back as "Invite the Prices of the Mind"
