     1. (Gr. & Rom. Antiq.) A sign or memorial of a victory raised
        on the field of battle, or, in case of a naval victory, on

        [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: A trophy consisted originally of some of the armor,
           weapons, etc., of the defeated enemy fixed to the trunk
           of a tree or to a post erected on an elevated site,
           with an inscription, and a dedication to a divinity.

        [1913 Webster]

              wars.                                 --Dryden.
        [1913 Webster]

        redeemed soul is a trophy of grace.

     5. An object memorializing a victory in a sporting contest.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: Some trophies(5) are unique, temporary possession of
           the same object passing to the new victors of some
           periodic contest in subsequent occurrences. Others are
           objects of little inherent worth, given by the
           authority sponsoring the contest to the victor. A
           trophy is sometimes shaped like a cup, and in such
           cases may be called a cup, as the America's Cup (in
           Yacht racing). -->
           [1913 Webster]
