THE "TRIUMPH" STILL ON TOP. , Tho Cliristchurch-Kaikoura-nnil-baek record still stands to the credit of MrG; B. Brown and his full roadster "Triumph," and tho new record ni.ulo ] ns t Thursday 1 has been buried almost as soun as it was born under tho crushing weight of two' hours and twenty-ono minutes The principal features of Mr. 0. B Brown's groat rido. tin Saturdav have lieen' given full .publicity. On Bth' February lie rode alone. Some capital was "made out of the fnot that on a previous ocVAsion" ho was accompanied by another rider, 'and, though the precedent ' thus s?t has'been followed in the' subsequent attempts'upon the record by ridel's of machines other than th« '"friuninh," Mr. Brown decided to demonstrate "his faith in "Triumph" reliability by riding alone.' Hp rode tlio same full roadster ' thi-co-speed "Triumph" as ho rodo when he established the record on January 17. Tho only difference in the condition's was that he knew the road. It must be remembered that this Christchurcli-Kaikoura ride was suggested by "Triumph" competitors presumably iis a course on which their machines had a better chance against tho "Triumph" than any other. The course evidently does suit their machine—when their maehinoiis going well—but it quite as evidently suits the "Triumph" just as well,, and a qrent deal better. So tho result of this little sporting controversy has boon to establish the "Triumph" as the,best "cross-country" motor-cycle, as well as the best speed machine, (lib best machine for reliability, and the best for hill-climbing. Tho latest "Triumphs"' are now to hand; prices: fixed engine, .£7O; free engine. .£80; three-speed, .C 81" Ids. Adams, Limited., Chnstelnirch. Branches, Wanganui, Palmerston North.
