THE "TRIUMPH" STILL ON TOP. The Christehurch-Kaikoura-and-baclj record still stands to tho credit of Mr. G. B. Brown and lus full roadster "Tri. limph," and tho now'record mndo last Thursday has been buried almost as-soon as it was born under, tho orushing weight of two hours and twenty-one minutes. Tho principal features, of Mr. G. B, Brown's great ride oft Saturday hard 1 ljeen given full' publicity. .Oil Bth Febru. ary ho rodo nlono. Sonic capital was' niado out of tho fact that on a previous occasion ho was accompanied by another rider, and, though the precedent thus set has been followed in the subsequent attempts upon tho record liv riders of ma< chinos other than tho "Triumph," Mr, Brown decided to demonstrate his faith in "Triumph" reliability by riding nlono. Ho rodo tlio samo full roadster three, speed "Triumph" as ho rodo when he es« tablished the record on January 17. Tho onlv difference in tho conditions was that ho knew the road.' It must be remember-, ed that this Christchurch-Knikoura rldo was suggested by "Trijimpk" competitors presumably as a course on which their machines had a better chance against tho "Triumph" than any other. The courso evidently docs suit their luachino—when their machine is going well—but'it quito as evidently suits tho "Triumph" just as well, and a great deal better. So tho result of this little sporting controversy has boon to establish tho "Triumph" as the best "cross-country" motor-cycle, as well as tho best suecd. machine, tho best machine for reliability, and tho best for ' hill-climbing. Tho latest "Triumphs" avo now to hand; prices: fixed engino, .€7O; free engine, ,£80; throe-speed, ,£57 10s.
