■ THE "TRIUMPH" STILL ON TOP. The , Christchwch-ICaikoura-and-back record still stands to the credit of Mr G. B. Brown and his full roadstor "Triumph," and the new record mndo last Thursday has been buried almost as soon as it was born under the crushing weight of two hours and twenty-one minutes The principal features of Mr. G. Brown's great ride 011 Saturday have been given full publicity. On Bth February he rode alcne. Some capital was made out of the fact that 011 a previous occasion he was accompanied by another rider, and, though the precedent thus set has been followed in the subsequent attempts upon this record by r.iders of machines other than the "Triumph," Mr. Brown decided to demonstrate his faitli in "Triumph" reliability by riding alone. He rode the same full roadster threespeed "Triumph" as he rode when he established'the record 011 January 17. The onlv difference in the conditions was that lie knew the road. It must be remembered that this Christchurch-TCaikoura ride was suggested by "Triumph" competitors presumably as a course 011 which their machines had a better chance against the "Triumph" than any other. The cour.se evidently does suit their machine—when their machine is going well—but it quite as evidently suits the "Triumph" just as well, and a great deal better. So the result of this little sporting controversy lias been to establish tho. "Triumph" as the l>est "cross-country" motor-cycle, as well as the best speed machine, the best machine for .reliability, and the best for hill-climbing. The latest "Triumphs" are now to hand; prices: fixed engine, .£7O; free engine. .£8(1; three-speed, .£B7 Ms. Adams, Limited., Cliristchurch. Branches, Wangamii, Falraerston North.
