THE 4-H.P. TRIUMPH PROVES ITS SPEED.

ThA 1914 model 4-h.p. Triumph lias already earned a magnificent reputation for its reliability, perfect flexibility, ur. dease of control, and is adequacy to the most' exacting and difficult of mde-car service. As a speed machine, however, it has been something of an unknown quantity. On Saturday, speed trials wero conducted on New Brighton beach by the North Cantertrrv Motor Cyclist*' Club, and a T.T. 4-h.p. Triumph, driven by Mr G . B. Biown, the well-known Triumph rider, excelled the highest expectations that had been formed regarding its speed capabilities. A measured course of five mwes was covered in 4m in 44 4-st_ f>ec. or at a rate of over 63 males per hour, a truly marvellous performance for a single-cylinder engine of only 550 c.c. The Ttorformnrsce demonstrates that the new Triumph is easily the fastest smzlc-cylindor machine ev.-r constructed, and it will compete in future jn the 7.50 r.c. class. The new Tonrist Trophy models are now to hand, and will be found to embody a number of detail improvements upon previous models, in addition to the slight increase in oneino capacity. The price of the Tourist Tropin- Triumph is £70, and the full racing model is tlie same price. Immediate delivery of these phenomenally speedy machines can now- be /riven.
