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, (j. B. Brown wa3 placed eecond and made fastest singlecylinder time, 17min 53sec. In tho 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 28min Bsec, a very fine performance for a 15-stone rider. G. B. Brown gained second fastest single-cylinder t'tno in this event. In the Eight Mile S:de-car event, F. Haworth was placed second, and made fastest single-cylinder time, lOnn'n 29 l-ssec, 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 lGsec. The new Triumphs are now to hand, ex Corinthic and Remuera. and orders can be promptly filled. The above performances are sufficient, even if they wero not the last of a long, long, line of similar successes, to demonstrate the truth of our claim that tho Triumph for speed, power, efficiency, and reliability, is unequalled by any other 3J h.p. single cylinder machine on the market. The side-car performances speak for themselves regarding the suitability of the singlecvlinder Triumph for this class of work. Call and inspect the latest models.
