INTERNATIONAL VICTORY FOR B.S.A. JIOTOR-CYCLE. During the comparatively short period that has elapsed since its first appearance on the market, the B.S.A. motorcycle lias rapidly forged its way ahead, until to-dav it stands in the very forefront of single-cylinder machines. The B.S.A. scored its latest and most crushing triumph in the greatest motor-cycle competition ytt organised, the Paris-Nice trial over GG7 miles. All the .leading British and Continental motor-cycles were represented. The most valuable prize was that "iven by tho President of the French ' Republic for the smallest engine with side-cm* to complete the journey, mid this coveted distinction fell to the U.S.A. The Ii.S.A. also won the La Turbic hill-climb, I,eating machines, of much higher power, and the Flying Kilometer event for Ji.p. machines with side-cars. Only two B.S.A.'s competed in (lie l'aris-Jfice Trials, and both came through without losing'a single mark, winning gold medals. The Ii.S.A. was .the only machine to finish in the 3' h.P* single-cylinder class in the 500 c. c. side-car class the only two classes in which it was entered. The B.S.A. is a consistent performer, and it will do as good work and give as reliable servico in New Zealand as in tho Old World; as we have proved on occasion. Come and see tho neiv models.
