THE "TRIUMPH" STILL ON TOP. Tho , Christchurch-Kaikoura-and-back record still stands to the credit of Mr G. B. Brown and his full roadster "Triumph," and the new record made last Thursday has been buried almost as soon as it was born, under the crushing weight of two hours and twenty-ono minutes The principal features of Mr. G. B. Brown's great ride on Saturday have been given full publicity.' On Bth' February he rodo alone. Some capital was made out of the fact that on a previous occasion he was accompanied by another rider, and, though tho precedent thus set has been followed in tho subsequent attempts upon the record by r.iders of machines other than the "Triumph," j£ r . Brown decided to demonstrate his faith in "Triumph" reliability by riding alone, lie rode tho samo full roadster threeSpeed "Triumph" as he rode when he 'established the record oil January 17. Tile onlv difference in tho conditions-was that he knew the road. It must be remembered that this Chrislchurch-Kaikoura. rldo was suggested by "Triumph" competitors presumably as a course on which their machines had a better chance against the "Triumph" than any other. The courso evidently docs suit their machine—when their machino is going well—but it quite as evidently suits tho "Triumph" just as well, and a great deal better. So the result of this little sporting controversy lias 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.
