To THE Editor: We don't know 

 whether the Lockland trophy belongs to 

 any one club or not, but you will know. 

 My impression is that it is yet to be 

 competed for. If so please insert it in 

 the shooting list for the tournament. 

 I We find no record of the Lockland 

 shooting trophy having been won and 

 presume it is still to be won. Ed.]
