A Yachting Trophy for South Africa

Illustrated herewith is a representation of the silver challenge cup presented by Sir Thomas Lipton for competition among the yachting clubs of South Africa. The trophy stands, with its pedestal, more than five feet high. On the front is a yacht racing scene, and round the body are five coats of arms enameled in heraldic colors of the South African colonies. A figure of victory is placed on top of the cover, and between this figure and the lid there is a perfect model of a yacht in ful sail.

The trophy was designed and manufactured by Elkington & Co., Ltd., London and Birmingham, and supplied through their Regent St. house.

The cup will be taken out to South Africa at Sir Thomas Lipton’s request by Sir Pieter Bam on his return to Cape Town early in March.

CITY WEDDING GIFT TO THE DUKE AND DUCHESS OF YORK





The gift from the Corporation of the City of London to the Duke and Duchess of York, on the marriage of their Royal Highnesses, was presented to them on Saturday, Oct. 7. It consists of a complete silver dinner and dessert service, comprising altogether nearly 1200 pieces.

The dinner service provides covers for fifty guests. In the dessert service are two large and handsome jardiniéres, four fruit dishes, eight bon-bon dishes, four bowls on pedestals, four beakers or vases, and a massive rose-water dish and ewer. The small articles are fitted into two polished, brass-mounted oak cabinets, lined with scarlet cloth, while the large pieces are placed in two chests of the same wood, similarly mounted and lined. The inscription plates on these chests bear the following record: "Presented by the Corporation of the City of London to their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of York, on their marriage, July 6, 1893." The weight of silver in the entire service is between four and five thousand ounces. The whole was manufactured by Messrs. Elkington & Co., silversmiths to the Queen.

Very famous is the house of Elkington, at 22, Regent Street, W.1, not only in our own island, but throughout the Empire and in other countries. Naturally, therefore, Christmas brings its thoughts of Elkington’s, and it is welcome news in times which we all find hard, that there are many delightful gifts at this great house, the prices of which are quite moderate. For example, an Elkington Plate Double-Compartment Vegetable Dish, the price of which is £5 ; and Elkington plate cannot be surpassed, save by real silver, which it equals in appearance. A very neat present is a little clock fits into a silver case flatter than one for cigarettes and when in use stands up on a silver support in the case and has an illuminated dial. There are delightful little boxes in enamel which are real works of art, and make most satisfactory presents. There is great variety in jewellery, in tortoiseshell, in silver, in gold, and in the house’s famous plate.

Messrs. Elkington, who are by special appointment Goldsmiths to his Majesty, have places of business in several great cities ; their London addresses are 22, Regent Street, and 73, Cheapside. They manufacture their own goods at Birmingham, where their address is Newhall Street. “ Elkington ’’-plated goods are useful for a lifetime, while, of course, they are of less price than solid silver. However, solid silver is so remarkably low in price at present that gifts made of it are well within the means of owners of moderate purses. A sterling silver ash-tray at a guinea, a cut-glass silver-topped celery-vase at 25s., and a toast-rack at a guinea, are specimen prices of small articles. Button-hook and shoe-lift, indeed, are but 7s. 6d. each piece of silver, and a match-box for a man’s vest pocket is actually only 5s. 6d. A novel ash-bowl allows the matches, etc., to fall through the swing-lid into the receptacle ; it is a guinea in plate or two and a half in solid silver. A popular present just now is a silver bridge-box, as scoring cards are a necessity, and it is well to have the whole requisites in a compact and handsome case. Sets of silver buttons, trinket and powder boxes, some all silver and some cut-glass with silver tops, photo-frames, and waist-buckles are all inexpensive gifts. Then Messrs. Elkington have also a jewellery stock which is quite up-to-date and from which we select our Illustrations. There are a number of pretty little brooches and pendants in such stones as peridots, amethysts, tourmalines and topazes of varying tints at very moderate prices. Of late years there has been a great advance in jewellery designs, which now show a high level of art.

An interim injunction was granted in the Chancery Division on the 8th inst., by Mr. Justice Astbury, when Messrs. Elkington and Co., silversmiths, of Birmingham and London, applied for an interim injunction to restrain Messrs. Turner Bros. and Co., and Messrs. Frank and Fred Turner, of Mary Street, Birmingham, from infringing the plaintiff's copyright designs for certain silver articles. Counsel for the plaintiffs explained that the plaintiffs copyrighted some designs for silver and electro-plated articles, and as the work required great skill in workmanship it was given to a Birmingham gentleman to do. He taught Frank and Fred Turner to do the work, and when they were efficient they formed the defendant company. It had been ascertained that the defendants had sold electro-plated articles - dessert dishes - on which was cut the plaintiffs' copyright design, and plaintiffs asked for an injunction pending the action. His Lordship granted the application, with liberty to the defendants to move to discharge the order by giving two days' notice.
