MORE "TRIUMPH" VICTORIES.
The noteworthy feature of last Saturday's beach racing at New Brigton was the consistent and unanimous manner, so to speak, in which the Triumph riders beat all other single-cylinder competitors, putting up the fastest singlecylinder times in each event. In the 16 Miles Handicap, U. B. Brown was placed eecond and mado fastest singlecylinder time, 17min 63sec. In the 24 Miles_ Race, F. Haworth was placed first and covered the distance in the remarkably fast time of 25min 26sec, the fastest single-cylinder time. C Bonnington was second, covering tho distance in 23min Bsec, a very fine performance for a 15-stone rider. G. B. Brown gained second fastest single-cylinder time m this event. In the Eight Mile Sde-car event, F. Haworth was placed eecond, and made fastest single-cylinder time, lOmin 29 l-6soc, being only beaten on time by a 5-6 h.p. twin cylinder machine by the narrow margin of 5 l-ssec. G. B. Brown ran into third place and made second fastest single-cylinder time —llmin 16sec. The new Triumphs are now to hand, ex Corinthic and liomuera, and orders can be promptly filled. The. above performances aro sufficient, even if they were not the last of a long, long, line of similar successes, to demonstrate the truth of our.claim thab the Triumph for speed, power, efficiency, and reliability, is unequalled by any pther •3J h.p. smglo cylinder machine on the market. The eide-car performances speak for themselves regarding, the .suitability: of = the--6ingle-cylindor Triumph for this class of work. Call and inspect the. latest models.
