A new gold medal called the Yorkshire Medal for the most valuable invention of the year is to be awarded annually by the Institute of Patentees under a bequest by Mr Hoffman Wood, an architect, of Addingham, Yorkshire, who died three years ago. There is one condition attaching to the award—the invention must not in any way relate to an article of warfare. The organisers in the Borough Market of the porters’ basket-carrying championship, held at Herne Hill, London, recently, received £2O from Mr Charlie Chaplin, the film actor, to provide the winner’s prize of a suit of clothes, an overcoat, and a watch.
