' THE 'TRIUMPH'.' STILL ON TOP; The' Christch?.rch-Ivaikoiira-and-bnck lec-ord still stands' to' the credit of' ATr. G. B. Brown and .his full roadster "Triumph," 'and the jie'w roco'rd' made hist Thursday'has been" buried almost as soiln os it \vafe born undsr the crushing - weight of two hours and ' twcnty-oiio luiputds. The principal features' of Mr. G. B. Brown's' great ridb on Saturday/, havo been given ftill publicity.* On Bth Febrliary ho rode alone. Some capital wis made .out. of the fact.'that oil a previous bcension lie'was ficconipaliied bjr another rider, and, though the precedent thus feet has been followed : in the' subsequent attempts upon the record by riders ot machines other than the "Triumph," Mr. Brown ■ decided to demonstrate his faith In "Triumph" reliability by riding nlon;. lie rode tho same'full roadster tlirei!Speed "Triumph" as he rode when ,he >,s----tablished the recordon January 17. The only difference in the conditions was thf.t he knew the road, it must Ih> remembered that this Chrislihiirch-Ivuikoura ride was suggests by "Triumph" cumnolitots presumably as a course oil which ■ (licit machines had a betttr chance against'the "Triumph" than any other. The course evidently docs suit their machine—wlieii their machine is going well—but it quits as evidently suits the "Triumph" just as well, and a great, deal better. So thii result of this" little, sporting controversy has been to establish tho "Triumph" ai) the best "cross-country"' motor-cycle, as well as tho best sne(id machine, the best machine for reliability, and the. best for hill-climbing.' Tho latest "Triumphs" are now to hand; "prices: fixed engine, -£70; free engine, .£SO; three-speed,' £&! 10s. Adams, Limited., . Cliristchurch, Branches, Wanganui;: Palmer,-ton, North. Agents.
