THE "TRIUMPH" MAKES GOOD AGAIN.

There are athletes and horses, res, and motor-cycles, that have their tad iluvs ami thtir good days. When all the conditions arc just right 'they can put up .1 very fine performance.' AVitli the man and the horse this will always lie the case, but wo surely have a right to expect a little more consistency irom a machine. _ We claim that the --Triumph" is a consistently reliable motor-cycle, ami in proof of that consistency- wo don't havo to mi any further back or any further afield thah New Mright'jn races conducted in the Canterbury district during the tenson opened a few weeks ago. At everyone of thus* meetings the ''Triumph" has been to the fore, and Saturday's events were no exception .to -the rule. In the ten-mile event I l '. Haworth, on n "Triumph." established c. iresh single-cylin-der record for ths distance, Ira vol ling at the rate of over 5-1 mi'.o.j per hour. , tu tho fifty-miles event A. .T. I'uclis, a 14stone ruler, on p. fully-equipped roadster "Triumph," weighing IUUIb., was first, and 11. E. Douglas, on a two and a half years' old "Triumph," broke the fifty miles record by five minutes, making fast-, est lime in the race, beating tho twin(■yiindcr machines, ami running second. We might remark tiw.t (he challenge issued by Mr. G. B. Brown, the well-known "Triumph", rider, some time ago to undertake a hill-climbing competition against any machine of any power, on cither the l'aekokarlki Hill (North Island) or Sumr.er Hill (South Island) for .010, the. sum to be given to some charity, has not yet be*n accepted. This is an indication that the "Triumph" is just as consistent and reliable on the hills as on the flat. The new "Triumphs" sell as follow:—Fixed engine .C7O, free endno- i'SO. three-speed .£•B7 10s.
