THE "TItIUJIPH" STILL ON TOP. Tho . Christchureli-Ifaikonra-and-back record still stands to the credit of Jfr G. B. Brown and his full roadster "Triumph," arid the new record mndo last Thursday has been buric-d almost as soon as it was born under the crushing weight of two jhours and twenty-ono 'minutes The principal features of Jlr. G. Brown's great ride on Saturday havo been given full publicity. On Bth" February he rodo alone. Some capital was mode out of the fact that on a previous occasion he was accompanied by another rider, and, though the precedent thus set has been followed in tho subsequent attempts upon the record by riders of machines other than the "Triumph," Jlr, Brown decided to demonstruto his faith in "Triumph" reliability by riding alone. He rode tho eame full roadster' threespeed "Triumph" as he rode when he established the record 011 January 17. The only difference in the conditions was that ho Knew the road. It must be remembered that this Christchurch-Kaikoiira ride was suggested by "Triumph" competitors presumably as a course on which their machines had a better chance against the "Triumph" than any other. The course evidently does suit their machine—when thoir machine is going well—but it quite as evidently suits the "Triumph" ju s t as well, and a great deal better. So the result of this little sporting controversy has been to establish the "Triumph" as the best "cross-country" motor-cycle, as well as the best speed machine, the best machine for reliability, and the best for hill-climbing.
