THE 'TRIUMPH" STILL ON TOP. Tho Ghristchnteh-lUikoWa-and:back' record still stands to tho credit of Mr Q. B. Brawn and his full roadster "i'rj: umplv, and tho new record made last Thursday has boon buried almost ns soon as it was born under the erushing weight bt two .hours and twenty-one mifcufei Tho principal feature of Air. Q b' Brown's ;great ride.-.on Saturday' .have been given full publicity. On Bth- February ho roilo alone. Some capital wa£ '"ado out of the fact that on a previous occasion ho was accompanied by another rider, and, though tho precedent thus set has been followed in. the subsequent attempts upou ; tho record by riders of machines other than tho "Triumph," Mr. Brown decided to demonstrato liis faith m "Triumph" reliability by riding alone. Ho rodo'. the samo full roadster threespeed "Triumph" as he rodo when he established tho record on January 17. Tho only difference in tho conditions was that ho knejv the road. It must bo remembered that this Chnstchurcli-Kaikoura rfdo was suggested by "Triumph" competitors presumably as a courSo on which their machines had a better chance against.tho "Triumph" than any.other. Tho oourso evidently does suit their machine—when their machine is going well—but it quito as ovidently suitj the "Triumph" just its well, and a tjreat deal better. So tho result of this^little sporting controversy has been to establish tho "Triumph" as the best "cross-country" motor-cycle, as well as the best sored iiiachinOj tho best machine for reliability, and tho best for hill-climbing. Tho. latest "Triumphs" aro now to hand; prices: fixed engine, .270; free engine, .fiwl; three-speed, .£Bf 10s. Adams, Limited.. Christchureh. Branches, Wauganui, I'almerston North.
